Best Practices for Commission Profiles
To use Commission Profiles effectively, consider the following best practices:
- Set commission rates that align with your business goals and help you maximize profits.
- Use category-specific Commission Profiles to set different commission rates for different categories of products.
- Keep Commission Profile names and descriptions clear and descriptive to help you identify them later.
Creating a Commission Profile
To create a new Commission Profile, click the Add New Profile button at the top-right of the page.
On the Create Commission Profile page, give the new profile a name and a description, and select a method for the Commission Profile, either Flat Commission % or Commission by Category.
