Important Notes

Configuration Required: Second split functionality must be enabled for your merchant accounts. Contact Digitzs support before using this feature.
Available Balance: The second split amount cannot exceed the available balance after the first split and processing fees.
Use Case: This is useful for complex revenue sharing scenarios like referral fees, affiliate commissions, or multi-party marketplaces.

​
Best Practices

  1. Verify Parent Payment: Ensure the parent payment has settled before creating a second split
  2. Track All Splits: Maintain records of all split transactions for reconciliation
  3. Validate Amount: Check that sufficient funds remain for the second split
  4. Clear Documentation: Document the reason for each split in the miscData field
