Title: Who can build me an API for automatically splitting payments?
Post by: BlackDiamond on March 08, 2014, 03:45:00 AM
I am developing a website where people will pay a certain amount of bitcoins to download a product. My business partners are doing the marketing so we agreed that each one of them will receive a percentage of every order, let's say 50%. The idea is that before customers pay they choose from a list by whom they were referred by and this value is then passed to the API where the amount is split automatically between my wallet and the wallet of the chosen partner. If the customer does not choose anyone from the list (the default option) then the whole amount goes to my wallet only.

It is similar to a trustless system. The point is that my partners have the guarantee they will be paid fairly without having to trust on me to handle the payments manually.

I have contacted some Bitcoin traders but unfortunately none of them offered this system. The closest I could get was this API (http://btc-fork-api.appspot.com/) developed by this Bitcointalk user (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228548), but I don't know if it suits my needs or how to implement it in a website.

Do you know if this is possible? Do you know any company that provides this service? What are your thoughts on that?

If you can develop this API please PM me so we can discuss it better.

Thanks.

PM sent.
See also https://github.com/rhelwig/coinsweep/tree/master/coinsweep/coinsweeper (which I haven't worked on past my own personal needs, but if anyone wants to fund more development let me know).
