How commissions work: Your shop automatically handles all pricing, payments, and profit distribution — you never need to collect money or pay vendors directly.
The price your customer pays will automatically include your commission, the cost of the blank garment and decoration, sales tax, and shipping. There is no out of pocket cost to you whatsoever -- no need to submit payments to vendors or decorators and no need for complex accounting to track commissions.To view your commission on a specific product, go to **Products** in the left navigation menu and click the product from the catalog. Your commission amount, commission percentage, and any additional markup will be displayed on the left side of the product details page.
Your commission structure — the percentage of each sale you earn as profit — is set by the Site or Shop Administrator who invited you to the platform. You can also add markup on top of your base commission to further increase your earnings.
As an example, if you are receiving 30% commission on every sale in your shop, that is considered your base commission. You have the ability to add markup to every product in your shop, specific product categories, or specific products in order to increase your profit on each sale. Any markup you add at the shop level is in addition to the 30% profit you agreed upon with your Site Administrator.
To share a portion of your markup with others, you can do so by Adding a Payable. Adding a Payable lets you share shop profit with a client, run fundraising campaigns, and more. When you create a Payable, you designate a percentage of your markup (not your base commission) to be paid out each time your shop makes a sale.
