No merchant account needed. Paypal needs to enable App for adaptive payments. All business Paypal accounts have API access, which is the only thing needed for Website Standard. Until we have the Adaptive app enabled, we cannot take a cut. (To enable payments to two accounts, we would need the buyer to authorize twice, which makes a much less seamless exp.) With the adaptive payments API, user just needs to pay to one account, and the developer can split it between two Paypal accounts. After our app is approved we will move to Adaptive payments.
