Vendor Fees

At the vendor fees page you can manage your vendor’s sales commission fees.

The vendor fees list:

The vendor fees list shows all vendor commission fees for the selected period. At the top bar you can select the time period, to see what vendor fees were valid for that period.

The list shows detailed information about the commissions for all vendors including the vendor name, the fixed item fee, the percentage fee per item and the start date, the fee was set.

The fees are set for the vendors, according to their subscription group, or, if no subscription groups are used, by the default settings for the fixed and percentage fees.

They are automatically changed, when a vendor signs up, changes to a subscription group with different fees and if the vendor renews the group and the fees were changed.

If several fees are shown for a single vendor, this means, that two (or more) fees were valid in the selected time period as indicated by the start date.

You can use the arrow icons to change the time period. The icons on the right side allow you to either edit or delete a set fee, or add a new fee.

If you delete a fee, all fee settings for the vendor starting with the shown start date will be deleted.

If you add a fee, the fee will be valid from the set start date till the date where the next fee was set for that vendor, or if no newer fee setting exists, till a newer fee setting is added.

The charge form:

The charge form is used to add or edit a fee for a single vendor.

Changing a fee manually should be an exception, since the commission fees are based on the fees, set up for each subscriptions group or, if no subscriptions groups are set, based on the default settings.

There might be some scenarios though, where a manual change is needed:

e.g.: if a vendor gets preferred treatment because of some special agreement

The following fields are available:

Field Description
Select Vendor The selected vendor for that fee setting.
ID The ID of the fee setting edited, or N/A, if a new fee is set up.
Fixed fee per item Fixed commission fee for each item sold.
Percentage fee per item Percentage of the amount of each sale that is used to calculate the commission fee.
Start Date Start date for the fee setting.
The fee is valid from the set start date till the date where the next fee was set for that vendor, or if no newer fee setting exists, till a newer fee setting is added.

You can use both commission types simultaneously, if the vendor should pay a fixed fee per item and a percentage of the amount as fee.

After you set up your fees, press the “Save Changes” button to save your settings.
