Can I use DC for my customers to receive payment to their own paypal accounts?

I have an online car show management application powered by Drupal 7. It's called nationalshowcar.com.

My customers sign up with NSC to manage their car shows. They can manage nearly every aspect of running a car show accept taking online registrations.

I would like my customer to be able to setup their own paypal account (or link to it) within NSC so that their registrants can register online - paying via paypal - and then have the data entered passed back into their account in NSC.

The data that would need to be captured would be things like vehicle and contact info.

This seems really tricky because each customer can have multiple shows and multiple registrations within each show. That means that if customer registers for show "a" then the registration information, confirmation, etc... needs to be associated to Show A for NSC account A...

Does anyone have experience in this area to know if Drupal Commerce is the correct tool?

Thanks
Rich

At Commerce Guys, we do have experience with setting up all kinds of stores. One kind of store that is hot is the "marketplace" kind of store. This is actually what you're looking to implement and likely why you haven't received a response, a few months out.

Payment gateways are designed to have site-wide configuration settings. This means, at the very least, we would need to create a payment method for each registration. Or bypass the normal payment gateway API with one that implements a payment-per-registration.

Another way to handle this system is to use https://drupal.org/project/commerce_funds or https://drupal.org/node/1979474 to make your site the bank of record and allow users to "withdrawl" from their user account on the site.

This is a problem space waiting for a "home run" solution. There are lots of recent success stories using existing tools. Wowket comes to mind.

They used https://drupal.org/project/commerce_paypal WPS module as a starting point. Commerce Guys can put you in touch with the people who built Wowket should you want to contact them.
