Automate Your Upsell partnerships with Vendor Splits

Written by Toyin Odujebe

Tired of manually calculating commissions and sending bank transfers to your partners? Whether it’s a local tour guide, a private chef, or your cleaning team, Vendor Splits allows you to automate payments instantly.

With Vendor Splits, you can link a vendor to any upsell. When a guest pays, ChargeAutomation automatically splits the payment and sends the vendor’s share directly to their Stripe account. No manual math, no delayed payments—just seamless partnerships.

Why you’ll love Vendor Splits:

  • Set and Forget: Configure a fixed fee or a percentage, and we handle the rest.

  • Instant Gratification: Vendors get paid directly

  • Onboard in Seconds: Simply send a link to your vendors to connect their Stripe account.

  • Professional Reporting: Keep your books clean with automated tracking of who earned what.


Step 1: Add your Vendors

Before you can split revenue, you need to add your partners to the platform.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Vendors.

  2. Click Add Vendor and enter their name and email address

  3. The Connection Link: Once added, a unique Stripe Connection Link is generated and sent to the vendor

  4. Vendor Action: The vendor clicks the link, connects/creates their Stripe Express account, and they will show as Stripe Connected in your vendor management page


Step 2: Configure the Split on an Upsell

Once your vendor is connected, you can assign them to any of your Upsell services.

  1. Go to Upsells and either create a new one or edit an existing service

  2. Scroll down to the Vendor Split section

  3. Select Vendor: Choose the appropriate partner from your connected list

  4. Choose Commission Type:

    • Percentage (%): Great for services where costs scale (e.g., 70% to a Private Chef).

    • Fixed Amount ($): Ideal for flat-fee services (e.g., $20 to the cleaner for a Late Checkout).

  5. Save Changes


How the Payment Works

When a guest purchases the upsell through their dedicated Guest Portal:

  1. The guest is charged the full amount.

  2. We automatically calculate the split based on your rules.

  3. Your share goes to your account, and the vendor’s share is sent to the vendor directly

It’s that simple!
