By default, all the payment for the order will go to the admin and after that, the admin will transfer the seller’s payment from his account manually for the order after deducting his commission.
You can also use our marketplace stripe plugin – https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-marketplace-stripe-connect-plugin/19214558 Using the plugin the payment for the order will directly split between the admin and the seller and the payment will directly get transferred to the admin and the seller account accordingly.
