This extension adds a PayPal Adaptive Payments gateway for digital download stores, designed for marketplace owners who need to split revenue with vendors or partners automatically. It handles the complex task of distributing funds from a single customer transaction, removing the need for manual calculations and separate payouts.

• Automatic Payment Splitting: Configures payments to be divided among up to six receivers, with specific percentages set per receiver. This automates vendor commissions instantly upon purchase.
• Parallel and Chained Payments: Offers flexibility in payment distribution models. You can choose between parallel payments (sent to multiple receivers at once) or chained payments (sent sequentially).
• Compliance Ready: The checkout process is hosted by PayPal, which handles Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements for European transactions, reducing compliance overhead for the merchant.
• Sandbox Testing: Includes support for PayPal's developer sandbox, allowing for thorough testing of payment flows before going live.
• Important Pre-requisite: Note that PayPal must approve a merchant account for Adaptive Payments use before this extension will function. This service has limited availability in select countries and currencies.
