FieldPulse offers several commission options to support a variety of business structures. Below is an overview of each commission type and when to use it.
This option is ideal for businesses where all team members receive the same commission rate. You can set a flat dollar amount per invoice, a percentage of gross sales, or a percentage of margin. Once configured in Company Settings, the commission recipient on an invoice will automatically receive this amount.
This option is perfect for businesses with varying commission rates for each team member. For example, senior staff may earn higher commissions, or managers may receive commissions while technicians earn hourly pay.
After enabling the Commission toggle for each user, you can then set their specific rate (e.g., Bill earns 5% of invoice margin, while Peter earns a $40 flat commission per invoice).
It's important to note that you can set a company default commission, as mentioned above, and then override it for specific user profiles.
This option is best for businesses that pay commissions per grouping or for flat-rate jobs on an invoice. For example:
Shower upgrade → $50 commission
Water filter add-on → $30 commission
These amounts are added to the commission recipient for each flat-rate job included on an invoice.
It's important to note that flat-rate job commission overrides both company default and user-specific commission to avoid double-paying. You can only use either invoice-level commission (company & user specific) or flat-rate job commission.
