How do I pay stylists commission automatically?
Set each stylist's commission as a flat rate or a tiered rate that rises with their monthly sales, with a separate rate for retail. Then calculate earnings each pay period from completed, paid appointments only, so cancellations and unpaid bookings never count.
| Structure | How it works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | One rate on all services | 40% of services |
| Tiered (sliding scale) | Rate rises as monthly sales grow, rewarding top performers | 35% up to 6,000 dollars a month, 40% to 10,000, 45% above |
| Retail | Separate, lower rate on product sales | 10 to 20% of retail |
A flat rate is the most common structure; a tiered plan rewards growth without overpaying in slow months.
