Specialized Paypal Plugin Needed

Okay, so I've got an odd situation with one of my clients. She wants to do a yearly membership on her site, but she wants the money to go to three different accounts. So for example:

$40 total membership

Account A - $10
Account B - $15
Account C - $15

I don't know how this would work using Paypal (not sure it could) and if not PayPal, then what would be the best way to accomplish this? Is there some kind of miracle plugin for WP that already exists for such a thing? Thanks!

    The trouble with split payments which is likely not something that paypal would want you to do, seems like I remember seeing it is against TOS, however, you might use mass payments, (requires a business account) also another issue with this is that if the original payment, $40 is charged back and or otherwise the user asks for a refund and or files a dispute, you will likely be on the hook for the entire $40 bucks, unless you can get it back from those accounts where you put it,

    The only way this could really work out would be if you were 100 percent positive that you would never see a charge back.

    Personally it is probably a bad idea, but thats just me.

    For split payments, you need to use their Adaptive Payments API. https://www.x.com/docs/DOC-1408

    I added another thread, because the truth is, it's a company I'm working for and I'm getting a flat commission on every membership enrollment. So it COULD be done as a commission rather than a split payment. Would that be easier?
