SETTING UP GLOBAL COMMISSION
To set up the global commission you need to visit the Commission section in the main menu of the multivendor marketplace app.
Admin Panel>> Commissions->> Global commission settings->> Choose the commission type and enter the commission value->> Save
Fixed Commission Example:-
Suppose Fixed commission :USD 100
Price of seller product :USD 1000
So Merchant Share: USD 100 and Vendor Share: (USD 1000-USD 100) = USD 900.
Percent Commission Example:-
Suppose Percent commission: 20%
Price of seller product: USD 1000
So Merchant Share: (20%*1000)= USD 200 and Vendor Share: (USD 1000-USD 200) = USD 800.
Fixed+ Percent Commission Example:-
Fixed commission: USD 100 and Percent commission: USD 20%
Price of seller product: USD 1000
Here Firstly "Fixed commission" deduct from product base price= (1000-100) = USD 900 and then percent commission from remaining price=(900-20%*900)=USD 720
So Vendor Share: USD 720 and Merchant Share: USD 280
Percent+Fixed Commission Example:-
Suppose Percent commission: USD 20% and Fixed commission: USD 100
Price of seller product: USD 1000
Here Firstly "Percent commission" will deduct from product base price=(1000-20%*1000)=USD 800 and then fixed commission deduct from remaining price=(800-100) = USD 700
So Vendor Share: USD 700 and Merchant Share: USD 300
