  title: Paystack Create Subaccount and Transaction Split
  summary: Create a subaccount, build a transaction split that pays it, then initialize a transaction against the split.
  description: >-
    The marketplace payout setup. A subaccount is created for a partner, a
    percentage transaction split is created that routes a share to that
    subaccount, and a transaction is initialized against the split code so the
    incoming payment is automatically divided. Every step spells out its request
    inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.
