See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

Split Payments

For creative & design marketplaces: Allocate customer payments between freelancers and project specialists and platform fees, using a defined rule for each transaction.

Roots configures rules that split each incoming payment among the parties who earned it, provided through our licensed banking and money-transmission partners. There's no manual math and no end-of-month spreadsheet.

  • Build split logic into your order or settlement events

Foreign payment records are collected at onboarding.
  • Map target countries to the best-covered partner
  • Integrate a payee portal or white-label widget
