Barion Bridge - payments for platforms

Barion Bridge overview

Barion Bridge makes it possible for companies to facilitate payments between people or other parties. There are roles, as indicated on the diagram.

  • The Customer is the user who uses the services of or buys goods from the 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.
Please note
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 to Barion.

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

Barion Bridge 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.

For further details about escrow please check out Payments with reservation / escrow.

For further details about facilitator or contributor fees check out Payee transactions.

For further details about Barion Bridge payments please check out Marketplace, sharing economy, and facilitated payments.


"Uber" style simple sharing economy example

If "Uber" was using Barion, the passenger would be the Customer, and the Driver would be the Seller. "Uber" would ask for a fee from the driver, as the blue lines indicate. Barion transaction fees would be payed by "Uber". Drivers would need a Barion account set up before the first ride. Automatic charging would be solved by Token payments.

For further details about facilitator or contributor fees check out Payee transactions.

For further details about Barion Bridge payments please check out Marketplace, sharing economy, and facilitated payments.


"Marketplace with agents" sharing economy example
