# Setting up commissions

This feature is available on these plans ([view pricing](https://bookingtimes.com/prices))

	
		
			 **Kick Starter**
		
			 **Nail & Scale**

This article covers how to set staff commissions for services and products. Commissions can be calculated as a fixed dollar value or percentage % per:

- Hour
- Booking
- Course
- Product

Once commissions are set, please refer to the following articles which outline the commission process and how to pay your staff, including the creation of commission invoices (also referred to as Recipient Created Tax Invoices):

- [Running the commission report](/v2/docs/running-the-commission-report)
- [Creating commission invoices](/v2/docs/creating-commission-invoices)

Note

Commissions need to be set up for each service and individually for each staff member.

## Setting commissions for products

Commissions can be set against products and will be used for any admin product sales. Any web sales that are created by the client will not have a sale’s person allocated, so no commissions will be allocated for those.

### Steps

1. Navigate to **Setup** > **Shopping** > **Products**
2. Select the product
3. Under ***Staff Commission*** set the commission rate in currency (**$**) or percentage (**%**)
4. Click **Save**

1. For the commission to be allocated to the correct staff member, select them as the ***Sales Person*** on the product sale.
