# 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](https://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.
