Hi everyone,
I’m building a native app (Android/iOS, Bubble native builder) connecting hosts who organize private events with guests who buy tickets.
I need a marketplace-style split payment with delayed payout:
- The guest pays the full price at checkout
- The money stays “held” until the event ends (no immediate payout)
- Once the event is over, the amount is automatically split:
- a platform commission
- the remainder paid out to the host
- Each host needs individual onboarding to receive payouts (KYC, bank details, etc.)
Important note: I’m not yet comfortable with Bubble’s API Connector (setting up raw API calls). If a solution requires it, I’d appreciate simple explanations or resources to get up to speed, or a more accessible alternative if one exists.
Looking for feedback on:
- Which payment providers natively support this marketplace model (split + delayed payout + seller onboarding) and work well with a native Bubble app?
- How to structure the Bubble workflow to “hold” a payment until a trigger event (end of the party), then automatically fire the split?
- Any production experience with reliability (payout delays, disputes/refunds, fees)?
- Does host onboarding cause specific issues in a native environment (return URLs, redirects, etc.)?
Open to any provider (not just Stripe) as long as it natively handles marketplace + split + delayed payout.
Thanks in advance for any input!
