The Sales Commission in Xplor Payroll lets you automatically reward team members for retail sales made at your studio. Once enabled, commissions are seamlessly integrated into your regular payroll reports.

Sales Commission helps incentivize your team for the types of sales that matter most to your business. For example, you might choose to reward retail product sales but exclude membership sales from commission calculations.

Setting up Sales Commission involves three main steps:

  • Configuring your Sales Commission Filter

  • Create Sales Filter

  • Set up Employee Payrates


Sales Commission Filter

This account-wide setting controls which product types are excluded from all commission calculations. Navigate to Settings > Sales Commission Filter to exclude items such as Food and Beverage or Water from generating commissions.

Complete the following and Save:

  • Ignore Sales For Product Types: Mariana Tek's Product Types

  • Ignore Employees Without Sales Commission Payrates: When enabled, employees without sales commission payrates will be excluded from sales commission calculations


Sale Filters

Sales filters define when and how commissions are applied. Navigate to Sale Filters > Add Sale filter to set up rules such as:

  • All Products

  • Retail Products Only

  • Products at Specific Locations

Each Sale Filter uses customizable criteria to match sales transactions.


Payrates

For each team member who should earn commission, go to > Payrates > select the employee and choose Add Payrate > Sales Commission.

Select the Sales Filter and commission type:

  • Flat Rate – a fixed dollar amount per qualifying sale (e.g., $5 per item sold)

  • Percentage – a percentage of the sale amount (e.g., 10% of retail sales)


Important Details:

  • Employee requirements: Only employees with POS (Point of Sale) permissions in Mariana Tek can earn commission.

  • Multiple commission rates: Team members can have multiple commission payrates based on the sale type. For example, Mike might earn 5% on memberships and 10% on retail, each tied to a unique Sale Filter and payrate.

  • Excluding employees: To exclude an employee from earning commission (temporarily or permanently), add the Sales Commission Pay Disabled tag to their profile in the payrates section.

  • Payroll reporting: Sales Commission pay appears in your regular payroll reports, alongside other pay types such as Instruction Pay and Time Clock Pay.
