  • Publication number: 20100010906
    Abstract: The method allows the funds from the purchase of a single item to be automatically divided and distributed to multiple recipients according to pre-arranged royalty and percent ownership arrangements. The purchase of multiple items can also be managed this way. In one embodiment, the method may employ JavaScript fee-split code that can be uploaded from a remote merchant server. The code can be executed within the web browser of a buyer's computerized device, and then send instructions over the Internet to the API of an automated Internet ecommerce system. The ecommerce system will then automatically split the buyer's single item payment to multiple recipients, and automatically credit the escrow account of the multiple recipients at the time of the buyer's purchase. In another embodiment, the details of the fee split arrangement can be stored in the remote ecommerce system, and be automatically invoked when the user makes a purchase.
