Commission Calculation – Overview & Setup

The Commission Calculation feature allows wineries to reward staff based on sales made during their shifts. By automatically linking Commerce7 sales data to employee clock-ins, the Time Clock App can calculate commissions in seconds and include them in your timesheet exports.

How It Works

  1. Open the Time Clock Admin Panel
    Go to Store > Time Clock Admin Panel.

  2. Go to Commission Settings
    Click Settings > Commissions.

  3. Enable Commission Tracking
    Toggle the Enable Commissions switch.

    Enabling this will add a Commission column to your timesheet export and allow you to define rules based on SKUs and Wine Clubs.

  4. Set Commission Rates per SKU
    Assign a commission percentage (e.g., 5%) for specific products.

    Ideal for promoting specific bottles, bundles, or limited releases.

  5. Set Commission Amounts per Wine Club
    Define a flat-dollar commission (e.g., $10) for each Wine Club signup.

    You can choose to award commissions either:

    • At the time of signup, or

    • When the first shipment is processed

  6. Save Settings
    Click Save to apply your rules. Commissions will be calculated at export time.

How Commissions Are Calculated

  • Matches employee clock-in/out times with POS transactions

  • Applies SKU-based commission percentages and Wine Club bonuses

  • Adds a Commission column in the timesheet export CSV

Admin Controls

From the Commissions settings tab, Admins can:

  • Enable/disable commission tracking

  • Set and update SKU and Wine Club rules

  • Choose when Wine Club commissions are awarded

  • Export timesheets with total commission amounts per employee

Best Practices

  • Use SKU rules for high-margin or slow-moving wines

  • Award Wine Club commissions based on business goals (signup vs. first shipment)

  • Clearly communicate commission eligibility and timing to employees

FAQs

Q: Are commissions based on POS or Admin sales?
A: Commissions apply to POS transactions only during an employee’s clocked-in shift. Admin sales are not included.

Q: Can I assign different commission rates to roles or employees?
A: Not currently. Commission rules apply globally. To request this feature, visit feedback.vc.wine/time-clock.

Q: Will commissions recalculate if I change a rule or rate?
A: Yes. Commissions are calculated at export time, so changes apply retroactively.
