Commission Overview – Shopify Multivendor Marketplace App ​

Multivendor Marketplace for Shopify offers a robust commission management system, allowing store owners to earn from every sale made by their sellers.

In a marketplace model, commissions are the core of the revenue structure for the admin. They represent the amount earned by the marketplace owner from each transaction made by vendors.

What is a Commission? ​

A commission is the percentage or fixed fee that the admin (store owner) earns from a seller's product sale. It can be configured in multiple ways based on your business model:

  • Global Commission
  • Seller-wise Commission
  • Product-wise Commission
  • Category/Collection-wise Commission
  • Variant-wise Commission

Example:
If Seller X lists Product A for $100 and the admin sets a 10% commission, then:

  • Admin earns $10
  • Seller receives $90

The app follows this commission priority hierarchy:
Global Commission < Seller-wise < Category-wise < Product-wise

Global Commission ​

  • Applied to all sellers, products, and collections.
  • Set from the Global Commission Settings tab in the app.
  • Supports both percentage-based and fixed-value commission.

Example:

If commission is set to 10% + $20, and the total order is $1400:

  • Seller A’s sale: $500 → Admin gets $70 → Seller earns $430
  • Seller B’s sale: $900 → Admin gets $110 → Seller earns $790

Seller-wise Commission ​

You can override the global settings for specific sellers from the Seller Commission Settings page in the app.
