Introduction

In this article, we will present the available options for commission calculation at a vendor level.

Disclaimer

If you choose to calculate the commission based on the inventory feed price, this will have priority over any commission defined at a product level or over tagged items*.

*See the last section of the article.

What should the commission be calculated on?

Under Contacts > Dropship providers > Payment setup tab, you have a setting to decide what the commission should be calculated on:

a) What the customer paid

With this option, the commission will be based on the price of the order. If discounts are applied at checkout, the commission will only be calculated on the product price displayed in your store. Please note that if you have agreed with your vendor on different product prices, this method may not deliver accurate calculations.

Note: This additional setting under the Payment setup tab can be enabled if you want to consider discounted prices when calculating the commission and paying out your vendor:

b) The price in the inventory feed

By choosing this option, if you apply a markup, the commission will be calculated on the price including markup. Essentially, this is considering the price you see in the feed after any changes you apply.

Currently, we do not support situations where the currency of the feed differs from the currency the customer pays in.

c) The original price in the inventory feed

This option ensures that you are charging a commission based on the vendor's original price in their store. In this case, any markup applied will be disregarded.

Similar to the previous option, we do not support situations where the currency of the feed differs from the currency the customer pays in.
