Is this article for you...
Have you already assigned commissions?

  • Yes - Go to Step 2

  • No - This article is for you

When a merchant is approved use the Merchant Commission Breakout form in Assign Commissions to assign Sales/Lead Source users and their payment percentage. Users assigned to a merchant can view the merchant’s information and reports. The payment percentage is applied when monthly residual reports are calculated.

Alternatively, if there is a lead that was not linked during the application process, use the Assign Lead tool to link post-approval. Confirming the link prompt will apply the lead source user and their default payment percentage to the Merchant Commission Breakout form.

Assign Commissions via Merchant Commission Breakout Form

Who can access this tool?

Office Staff user with Admin access and the Commission option checked “Yes”

When to take action

  • New Merchant is approved: Assign User and Payment Percentage

Where is "Assign Commissions"?

Select the orange Administrator tab and select Assign Commissions in the Finance admin menu.

“Gross” Check Box

The Gross checkbox can be used to create a new gross bucket and net bucket among the payees.

For example: $100 is in the profit bucket to be split. Ref 1 gets 20% with the gross box checked and Sales 1 gets 50% with gross box unchecked. With the gross box checked Ref 1 is calculated first. $100 * 20% = $20.00. $80.00 remains for the net profit bucket and Sales 1 gets 50% of the net. $80.00 * 50% = $40.00.
