Question - How can I build a commission based business with a app

Question - How can I build a commission based business with a app

Greetings, I plan to develop an app. The users will pay through this app to a restaurant, and I want to get some commission from it. What kind of systems or services should I use?
All help is sincerely appreciated.

    Are they paying you or are they paying the restaurant?

    There are two ways to go about this:

    1. Restaurants sign up for your service and need to have their own account information.

    Then you are just a referrer -- look for an affiliate link solution, or you will need to reconcile with the restaurants to receive your commission. This is more work for you and for them.

    1. Customers pay you and you then send the amount (minus commission) to the restaurant.

    You are essentially an order service, a middle man between the customer and restaurant. This gives you more control but greater risk because you are processing the transactions. Restaurants don't have to do anything other than sign up and accept orders from you. For customers, it is seamless unless the order transfer is messed up.

      They are paying to the restaurant. Affiliate solution is hard. Most of the restaurants here do not do that. How can I implement second option? Legalities scare me.

  2. 2

    Stripe works excellent for this. Specifically, Stripe Connect which lets the restaurant connect their bank account and also allows you to take a percentage commission automatically. If you need any help with developing, just let me know ;-)

      Stripe does not support my country. I live in Turkey. Is there any alternatives to that service for my country?

        Oh I see..

        2checkout may be a good option, though not sure on the specifics.
