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.
Note
Barion Bridge payments (where a payment is credited to a Barion Wallet other than the shop owner's) can be enabled or disabled per Barion shop, and are disabled by default. Get in touch with customer support (using the Customer service tab online or the Other>Help screen in the Barion app) if you'd like to enable it for one or more of your Barion shops.

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
