Hi,
I am setting up PayPal ‘Adaptive Payments’ – ‘Chained Payments’ payments using the PayPal plugin.

This is from PayPal App approval people:

Can you confirm that the seller will be the Primary recipient in the Chained payment & you will collect your fees as Secondary recipient? We will require you to set up the payment in this way so that the seller is the Merchant of Record in the case of any Chargebacks or Refunds. You can always facilitate the refunds by using third party refund API. Please amend your selections in the ‘Services Used by App’ – ‘Adaptive Payments’ – ‘Chained Payments’ area of the submission form to reflect this. Note: You will need to click the App Name in the ‘My Applications' area in order to expand and edit the fields of your submission form.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I see now how the primary is defined.
This is the opposite of what I want and is recommended by PayPal.

Store owner = A (primary)
Vendor = B (Secondary)
So for instance B lists and sells something for 100
Buyer pays through PayPal to A 100
A pays 90% to B ( chained payment ) A keeps 10% ( commission or listing fee or whatever )
So if Buyer is unhappy and and demands a refund or charge back, A is responsible for 100% of that charge back even though they collected only 10% of the transaction.

This from PayPal:

so each item will initiate a chained payments. so if they buy 6 items, it will be six payments. the issue with chargebacks is, if you are the primary receiver of a payments for six items, if the buyer is not happen with one of the items, all six items payments will be charged back even the buyer is only questioning about a portion of the payments. this will be very risky. You can also do parallel payments, so the buyer see one payment to six people including you. If he has any question about any of the payment, he can contact that person directly. We definitely don't encourage you to be the primary receiver as you are only keep a small portion of the payment but your PayPal account will be responsible for all chargebacks and refund. You can always using refund API 3rd party permission to facilitate refunds from your merchant's account as you are the app caller and you owns the APP ID. thanks, Xiaolei

For the shipping/payment fees, if you asked HikaMarket to split the fees, it will split to the different vendors depending to their cart total percentage. So if the main vendor is not selling any item, he won't pay anything for the shipping/payment fees.

Hi Jerome,
In administrator/components/com_hikamarket/classes/order.php
I can not find

} elseif(bccomp($coupon->discount_percent_amount, 0, 5) !== 0) {
				$ret *= floatval((100 - floatval($coupon->discount_percent_amount)) / 100);
			}
		}

		return $ret;
	}

Sorry about the attachment,
OK,
I replaced this (different from what you have below)

} elseif(bccomp($coupon->discount_percent_amount, 0, 5) !== 0) {
				$ret *= floatval($coupon->discount_percent_amount / 100);
			}
		}

		return $ret;
	}

} elseif(bccomp($coupon->discount_percent_amount, 0, 5) !== 0) { 
 $ret *= floatval((100 - floatval($coupon->discount_percent_amount)) / 100); 
 } 
 }

if(!empty($v_order)) { 
 if(!empty($v_order->order_payment_price)) 
 $ret += $v_order->order_payment_price; 
 if(!empty($v_order->order_shipping_price)) 
 $ret += $v_order->order_shipping_price; 
 }

return $ret; 
 }
