Venmo payment SDK Chaining System

Question

I have installed Venmo and Braintree API integration successfully. I want to know is there a way to integrate chaining system in that? Like user can pay some amount to other user which don't have Venmo account and some of the transfer amount will get paid to Merchant as well

Thanks in Advance

Yes, Braintree's Marketplace product does exactly that. You can pay any phone number / email address, even for people who don't have a Venmo account yet:

result = Braintree::MerchantAccount.create(
  :individual => {
    :first_name => "Jane",
    :last_name => "Doe",
    :email => "jane@blueladders.com",
    :phone => "5553334444",
    :date_of_birth => "1981-11-19",
    :address => {
      :street_address => "111 Main St",
      :locality => "Chicago",
      :region => "IL",
      :postal_code => "60622"
    }
  },
  :funding => {
    :destination => Braintree::MerchantAccount::FundingDestination::Email,
    :email => "funding@blueladders.com",
  },
  :tos_accepted => true,
  :master_merchant_account_id => "14ladders_marketplace",
  :id => "blue_ladders_store"
)

You can take a service fee on each transaction that will be paid to you:

result = Braintree::Transaction.sale(
  :merchant_account_id => "blue_ladders_store",
  :amount => "10.00",
  :credit_card => {
    :number => "5105105105105100",
    :expiration_date => "05/2012"
  },
  :service_fee_amount => "1.00"
)
