Parallel payment method is quite a popular payment method for PayPal adaptive. Suppose there is a customer who bought items related to both Vendor 1 and Vendor 2, and then when the customer makes the payment using the PayPal adaptive payment method, he/she will be able to see the payment is divided between the vendors and the Admin.

However, the Parallel payment method allows dividing the payment among 10 people at maximum which is a big restriction in the Parallel PayPal adaptive payment method.
