Commission Profiles allow retailers/merchants to define how commission rates are applied to suppliers and their products. They help you manage profitability by setting consistent rules for commission across your Dropship program. To use Commission Profiles effectively:
  • Align with business goals: Set commission rates that maximize profitability while remaining competitive.
  • Use category-specific rates: Create profiles that vary by product category (for example, higher commission for apparel vs. electronics).
  • Keep names clear: Choose descriptive names and add short descriptions so profiles are easy to identify later.
