Commission

A commission is a calculated obligation owed to a partner, affiliate, salesperson, agency, or similar payee based on qualifying revenue and configured payout terms.

What to know

How commissions are used

Commission workflows need clear recipient records, eligibility rules, refund handling, and repeatable close-period review.

  • Partners and affiliates are modeled as payees.
  • Eligible revenue can be scoped by product, source, metadata, or period.
  • Rates, tiers, clawbacks, caps, and floors belong in versioned rules.
  • Statements should be generated only after calculation output is reviewed.
