How to pay commission on products sold

Team → Pay → a person's plan → Retail commission. Pay a percent of the products someone sells, apart from commission on services.

Updated 2026-10-25

Pay retail commission separately from service commission, e.g. 10% of the shampoo and styling products a stylist sells, on top of 5% of their service sales. It is worked out in the pay run like the rest of pay, and needs Stock: a sale counts when it is recorded with Sell in Stock.

Where

Team → the Pay tab → How each person is paid. A position's plan is set the same way under Team → Positions.

Steps

1. Open the person (or the position) and switch on Retail commission.
2. Type the percent, e.g. 10.
3. Press Save.
4. Give each product a sell price in Stock → Items.
5. When the person sells a product, they record it in Stock with Sell, signed in as themselves.

What happens next

The pay run has a line Commission on products sold: the percent of what they sold in the period, at each item's sell price when it was sold. Press Show the … behind it to see each sale. A later price change does not change a sale already recorded.

Good to know

• A sale is credited to whoever recorded it with Sell.
• A sale that was reversed in Stock is left out.
• A product with no sell price earns nothing, and the line says how many sales had none.
• In the payroll file for an approved run, retail commission goes in the commission column, beside commission on services.
