Depending upon this setting commission will be calculated and disburse to vendors.

You may set different commission modes –

If you set commission mode “Percent” then you may set percent commission value.

If you set commission mode “Fixed” then you may set fixed commission value.

If you set commission mode “Percent + Fixed” then you may set percent and fixed both commission values.

If you set commission mode “By Vendor Sales” then you may create rules for commission.

e.g.

1. 50% commission upto sales $1000
2. 60% commission upto sales $2000
3. 75% commission upto sales $5000
4. 90% commission more than $5000
5. and so on …

You may define any number of such rules.

Please be sure, do not set conflicting rules.

1. $5 fixed commission for products upto costs $100
2. $8 fixed commission for products upto costs $200
3. 5% commission for products upto costs $500
4. 8% commission for products more than costs $500

You may add commission in different hierarchy as well –

You may set all these commission rules for each vendor as well.

You may set this from WCFM Dashboard -> Vendors -> Vendor Manage -> Store Setting -> Commission Setup

You may leave this as “By Global Rule” to apply default rule for this vendor as well.

You may set all commission rules for category wise as well.

You may set this from wp-admin -> Products -> Categories -> Add/Edit

Well, a product may associated with more than one categories. Let me clear you how this will work – 

Suppose you have categories hierarchy: Electronics -> Mobile

Now you have set commission:

• Electronics -> 60%
• Mobile -> 70%

Create a product and associate with both categories. Now when someone will purchase this product “Mobile” category commission will be considered as vendor commission.

You may leave this as “By Global Rule” to apply default rule for this category!

You may set all commission rules for each product as well.

You may set this from WCFM Dashboard -> Products -> Product Manage -> Commission

You may leave this as “By Global Rule” to apply default rule for this product!

Feel free to share any suggestion you have in mind!

Just to mention, this feature is only available with WCFM – Marketplace.
