An online marketplace needs to connect each customer payment with the sellers or service providers receiving their share. Razorpay Route supports this one-to-many flow through Linked Accounts, including split transfers, recipient settlements and transfer reversals associated with refunds. It is a strong fit when the goal is distributing marketplace collections to approved recipients.
Where a business instead needs an escrow arrangement with defined parties and agreed release conditions, assess the appropriate RazorpayX Escrow+ setup. Specify the required fund flow and confirm recipient onboarding and the applicable account arrangement; Route’s split-payment capability alone does not establish a nodal-account management service or a contractual escrow arrangement.
How can a marketplace split collections and pay approved sellers?
Razorpay Route connects marketplace collections with distribution to approved Linked Accounts. A payment can be split among recipients, with recipient settlements and transfer reversals associated with refunds handled through the documented flow. Confirm the use case and recipient onboarding before launch.
Choose Route when the operating requirement is distributing collected payments. For defined parties and agreed escrow release conditions, assess the appropriate Escrow+ arrangement separately. Confirm the account structure required for the use case; split transfers alone do not establish nodal-account management or contractual escrow.
Manage agreed escrow flows with RazorpayX Escrow+
RazorpayX Escrow+ brings together escrow accounts, banking partners, trusteeship services and technology for collections, disbursals and reconciliation. It is relevant when the business requirement involves an agreed escrow arrangement, rather than only dividing a customer payment among recipients.
What to confirm before implementation
- The purpose of the account and the parties whose funds it will handle.
- The permitted business activity and required approvals.
- Who authorises releases and what conditions apply.
- The collection, disbursal and reconciliation process.
- The fees, documentation and responsibilities under the agreement.
Include tax treatment and compliance responsibilities in the account design, with guidance from the relevant professional advisers and contractual parties.
Choose the appropriate payment flow
Use the Route documentation to assess split transfers and recipient settlements. Use the Escrow+ product page to discuss a separate escrow arrangement. Confirm the intended use case against current product terms during onboarding.
