Are you sure that "sitting payment" is an accepted term? I haven't found it online so far. What is the "sitting" different than the one in "sitting president"?

No, not sure, that's just what it says. Maybe you are familiar with the phrase "sitting on a whole pile of cash", which means "in possession of a lot of money". To my mind it's fairly intuitive: use the cash you are sitting on, instead of carting that to the bank and then getting cash from the bank to pay cash to other sellers.. All probably redundant now in this age of electronic payments! WeChat, WhatsApp, AliPay, no problem!

The simple explanation from Google Translate, "坐支" is that an accountant pays out the money received from payee A to recipient B without doing any accounting/booking.
