Using split without API

Choose a no-code integration to split the value of a charge among different recipients using Asaas payment split.

Payment split allows you to define how the value of a charge will be distributed among participants in the operation, such as a marketplace, seller, partner, or service provider. This division helps automate transfers and reduce manual controls after payment is confirmed.

In Asaas, split is an API-exclusive feature. To use this feature without developing directly with the API, configure the split through a compatible plugin or connector.

When to Use Split Without the API

Use a no-code integration when you need to configure split rules but do not want to build your own integration with the Asaas API.

This approach is recommended for scenarios such as:

  • WooCommerce stores that sell products or services from different recipients;
  • operations that need to forward part of a charge to partners or service providers;
  • automated flows in external tools, without custom backend development.

If you need to control advanced rules directly when creating the charge, refer to the split API documentation instead of using a no-code connector.

Key Concepts

Before choosing an integration, understand the main elements of the flow:

ConceptWhat it means
ChargePayment created for the end customer.
RecipientAccount or participant that will receive a portion of the charge value.
Split ruleConfiguration that defines how much each recipient will receive.
No-code integrationPlugin or connector that creates the charge and sends the split rules to Asaas without you programming directly with the API.

Before You Begin

  1. Confirm that your operation can use payment split in Asaas.
  2. Define which recipients will participate in the payment split.
  3. Determine the split rule for each recipient, such as a fixed amount or percentage, as allowed by the chosen integration.
  4. Choose where the charge will be created: WooCommerce or another system connected via automation.

Choose Your Integration Path

  1. Use the Asaas Plugin for WooCommerce if you sell through a WooCommerce store and want to configure the split directly in the store environment.
  2. Use Pluga if you want to connect Asaas to other systems through no-code automations.

Implementation Flow

  1. Choose the plugin or connector that fits your scenario.
  2. Connect your Asaas account to the chosen tool.
  3. Register or select the recipients that will participate in the split.
  4. Configure the charge split rule in the tool.
  5. Create a test charge and confirm that the split was applied as expected.
  6. Monitor the charge in Asaas to validate amounts, recipients, and payment status.

Behaviors and Operational Impacts

When using split without the API, consider these points before going live in production:

  • the charge continues to be created by the chosen plugin or connector;
  • the split rule must be configured before the charge is generated;
  • changes to the split rule may not affect charges that have already been created;
  • configuration errors may prevent the split from being applied correctly;
  • chargebacks, reconciliation, and transfers must be monitored in Asaas and in the tool used for the integration.

Validate the behavioral details in the specific documentation for the Asaas Plugin for WooCommerce or Pluga, as each integration may have its own screens, fields, and limitations.

Best Practices

  • Test the configuration with a low-value charge before activating the flow for customers.
  • Review recipients before publishing the split rule.
  • Internally document which split rule should be applied to each product, seller, or partner.
  • Monitor the first charges to confirm that the amounts were divided as expected.
