Commission calculation settings allow you to configure how the commission is calculated for affiliate sales, with options to exclude specific components from the commission.
You can access this feature by clicking Programs > Edit program (click on the program's name) > Commission calculation. The commission calculation settings contain: "Excluded products/collections", "Special product commission", and "Shipping, taxes and other fees".
For details of Excluded products/collections and Special product commission, click on the feature you'd like to learn about.
In this document, we'll learn more about the options for Shipping, taxes and other fees.
When Exclude product tax is enabled, the tax applied to the products is excluded from the commission calculation. This ensures that only the pre-tax product price is used to calculate commissions.
Note: If this setting is toggled off, product tax will be included in the commission calculation.
Example:
Product price: $50
Product tax: $5
Total product price (including tax): $55
Commission (excluding tax): The commission will be calculated on $50, excluding the $5 tax.
This setting excludes the shipping charges from the commission calculation.
Note: If this setting is toggled off, shipping charges will be included in the commission calculation.
Example:
Product price: $50
Shipping charges: $10
Total order price: $60
Commission (excluding shipping): The commission will be calculated on $50, excluding the $10 shipping charge.
This option excludes the tax on shipping charges from the commission calculation.
Note: If this setting is toggled off, shipping tax will be included in the commission calculation.
When enabled, any tip given by the customer will be excluded from the commission calculation.
Note: If this setting is toggled off, the tip will be included in the commission calculation.
Example:
Product price: $50
Tip: $5
Total order price (including tip): $55
Commission (excluding tip): The commission will be calculated on $50, excluding the $5 tip.
Elimination of "Shopify tax settings": In previous versions, UpPromote relied on the "Shopify tax settings" to determine whether taxes were included in the product price. In the new version, we pull this information directly from Shopify, so the "Shopify tax settings" option is no longer needed.
New fields:
Exclude shipping tax: Allows you to exclude shipping tax from the commission.
Exclude tip: Allows you to exclude any tips from the commission calculation.
Note: Please note that this is merely related to the commission calculation. If you are looking for information regarding VAT on paid commission, please refer to this document HERE. `
