Compensation on Package Sales

Modified on Fri, 11 Sep at 10:26 AM

Commission earned when selling a package is separate from the commission earned when a client redeems a package credit. Package sales commission rewards the staff member responsible for making the initial sale.

Things to Know:

Package sales commissions can be set up as either a Flat Amount (a fixed dollar payout per sale) or a Percentage (a set percentage of the package sale price).
For a staff member to earn commission on a package sale, all of the following conditions must be met:
Package commission must be explicitly set up in the staff member's profile. If no package commission structure exists, the system will record $0 in commission, even if a package is sold and the ticket is closed.
A staff member must be selected in the "Sold By" dropdown on the POS ticket before closing. If no employee is assigned to the sale, no commission will be calculated for anyone.
The staff member making the sale must be clocked in under a commission-eligible work type. If they are clocked in under an ineligible work type at the time of checkout, no commission will be generated.
Commission applies only to tickets closed after the commission structure was saved in the staff member's profile. Past closed tickets are not updated retroactively unless the "Update historical data" option is selected when saving the profile update. Example: Jane’s 5% package commission is configured on June 1st. Because her May tickets were already closed and "Update historical data" was not checked, no commission will appear for her May package sales.
When discounts or promotions are applied to a package sale, commissions are calculated based on your account and promotion settings:
Custom Discounts (Manually Applied at POS): Controlled by the "Calculate Product Commissions Post-Discount?" setting under Business Setup > Settings:
If set to YES: Commission is calculated using the discounted package price (after the discount is applied).
If set to NO: Commission is calculated using the original package price (before the discount is applied).
Promotions (Manual or Automatic): When a promotion is applied, commission calculation follows the specific pre/post-discount rule configured directly on that individual promotion.
Full Refunds: When a ticket is fully refunded, any commission previously earned on the transaction is completely removed from the staff member's Compensation Report.
Partial Refunds: If a ticket is partially refunded, the staff member's commission is automatically recalculated and adjusted based on the remaining un-refunded amount.
