Hi 👋 I would not recommend this approach. Instead, if you have scenarios that involve multiple third parties/merchants/vendors, I would recommend looking at Separate Charges and Transfers.

With that flow a single payment is made by the Customer, and then you can use Transfers to divide the proceeds from that transaction amongst the related parties as necessary.

Creating separate charges and transfers

With Connect, you can make charges on your platform account on behalf of connected accounts, perform transfers separately, and retain funds in the process.

Learn how to create a charge and split payments between your platform and your sellers or service providers when you accept payments.

I am using transfers to send the money to their account, but I still need to create a payment intent first. I was just checking the possibility of being able to have a "global" shopping cart in which I could add items from several stores, and then manage who gets what amount through creation of several payment intents at once

#

But now that I think about it, it does sound way more complex that it needs to be

#

I will find a different approach

#

Thanks for your suggestion!

Yeah, I would recommend doing that with one Payment Intent. Otherwise you would need to build in failure logic to handle scenarios where only some of the payments failed, and I believe (though am not certain) you would end up paying more in fees if you increased the number of payments per transaction.

Yeah, that is true

#

Adding unnecessary complexity lol

#

I will just create a cart system in which the cart is tied to a business ID

#

And then have the checkout page use that cart
