Commissionable sales

Commissionable sale is the sale value that BixGrow uses to calculate your affiliates' commission. It may be the same sale value as shown on Shopify, or the actual sale including discounts/shipping fees/taxes depending on your selection.

Please note that the discount value is a negative number by default (for example a $20 discount will become -20 in the Commissionable sales calculation).

To set up Commissionable sales, kindly navigate to Settings > General.

1. Includes Discounts

If the Discounts checkbox is selected, the commissionable sale will be calculated by subtracting the discount value from the actual order's sale. This means that your affiliates' commission amount will decrease if the commission rule is Percent of sale. For other commission rules, the commission amount is not affected.

In this example, if a customer places an order of $100 ($20 discount), the commissionable sale will be $100-20 = $80. The affiliate's program commission is 10% of sale, therefore it will be 10% of $80 = $8.

2. Includes shipping fees

If the Shipping checkbox is selected, the commissionable sale will be calculated by adding the shipping fee from the actual order's sale. This means that your affiliates' commission amount will increase if the commission rule is Percent of sale. For other commission rules, the commission amount is not affected.

In this example, if a customer places an order of $100 ($10 shipping), the commissionable sale will be $100+10 = $110. The affiliate's program commission is 10% of sale, therefore it will be 10% of $110 = $11.

3. Includes taxes

If the Tax checkbox is selected, the commissionable sale will be calculated by adding the tax from the actual order's sale. This means that your affiliates' commission amount will increase if the commission rule is Percent of sale. For other commission rules, the commission amount is not affected.

In this example, if a customer places an order of $100 ($5 tax), the commissionable sales will be $100+5 = $105. The affiliate's program commission is 10% of sale, therefore it will be 10% of $105 = $10,5.
