C2C payments - sharing economy and marketplaces
C2C overview
In certain business scenarios Barion is able to facilitate payments between users of the system. Hence the name C2C, meaning consumer to consumer. There are roles, as indicated on the diagram. The Customer is the user who uses the services of Seller (or multiple Sellers in case of marketplaces) and pays the Seller directly. The Facilitator, the company that facilitates the service is organizing the payment with the Barion API. The Facilitator is able to transfer a fee from each payment to herself and to one or more Contributors. The Customer does not need a Barion account, but the Seller and Contributors do. Barion transaction fees are always covered by the Facilitator, no other parties pay transaction fees.
Code Samples are available.
Examples of use for such payments:
- Sharing Economy business model (such as Uber)
- Marketplaces, where shopper may buy from multiple Sellers in one transaction
- Where law mandates direct payment to Seller, e.g. in certain insurance scenarios
- To optimize taxation
C2C with escrow
The Facilitator has the option to control the payment of the Customer to Seller, by placing the sum in an escrow and decide about fulfillment at a later time, such as when the delivery is confirmed. The funds can be partially or completely refunded to the Customer in case Seller does not deliver properly.
