<Warning>Split by amount is not supported for vendor-prepaid charges. If the vendor is billed, you can only split the order by percentage.</Warning>

**First Step: Customer completes the payment**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1: The customer visits the merchant website or the application and adds goods from different vendors to the shopping cart. The customer proceeds to complete the payment.">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Step 1.1: The merchant receives the payment request from the customer and creates an order. The order details contain information such as order ID, order amount, split details and customer name. The merchant creates an order along with splits in the Cashfree Payment Gateway system." />

      <Step title="Step 1.2: Cashfree Payment Gateway receives the order details and creates a payment link for that order. This payment link is sent to the merchant." />

      <Step title="Step 1.3: The merchant receives the payment link and sends it to the customer to complete the payment." />

      <Step title="Step 1.4: The customer clicks the link and completes the payment. The amount is received by Cashfree Payment Gateway." />

      <Step title="Step 1.5: The payment details are captured at Cashfree Payment Gateway end." />

      <Step title="Step 1.6: The payment details are stored in the Cashfree system and the payment status is sent to the merchant through payment webhooks." />

      <Step title="Step 1.7: The merchant sends the payment status to the customer." />

      <Step title="Step 1.8: The customer receives the payment status." />
    </Steps>
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Second Step: Easy Split processes the split internally**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 2: Once the payment is initiated, internal split calls take place. The amount is split based on the split information the merchant provides.">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Step 2.1: Easy Split processes the vendor split amount first and settles the amount to the vendor bank account based on the vendor schedule option. The vendor settlement webhook is initiated." />

      <Step title="Step 2.2: Easy Split processes the merchant split amount and settles the amount to the merchant bank account based on the merchant schedule option. The merchant settlement webhook is initiated." />
    </Steps>
  </Step>
