Settings and payees

Settings decide when a sale counts and when you can pay it. Then, on each product, you choose who earns from it and how much.

Settings

Go to WooCommerce > Revenue Share > Settings. Each section has its own Save changes button.

Create earnings when the order status is
Processing (payment received) or Completed (order sent). The default is Processing. Orders that go straight to Completed, like downloads, count too.
Hold period (days)
How long a new earning waits before it's ready to pay. The default is 30. Set it to match your refund period. With 0, earnings are ready at the next daily check.
Reduce earnings when an order is refunded
On by default. A full refund cancels the earning. A partial refund lowers it by the same share.
Minimum payout
The smallest amount you can mark as paid to one payee. The default is 0, which means no minimum.
Default payment method
PayPal, Bank transfer, Cash or Other. It's selected for you when you mark a payout as paid.
License
Your license key. See Installation.

Add payees to a product

  1. Make sure the person has a user account on your store. If not, add one in Users > Add New User.
  2. Open the product and go to the Revenue Share tab in the Product data box.
  3. Click Add payee and search for the person by name or email.
  4. Choose Percentage of sale or Fixed amount per item, and enter the amount.
  5. Add more payees if you need to, then click Update.

A short line below the list shows the split, for example “Payees get 12% of each sale. You keep 88%.” This works for every product type. On a variable product, payees earn on every variation.

How a share is calculated

  • A percentage comes from the line total after coupons, without tax or shipping. 12% of $96.00 is $11.52.
  • A fixed amount is multiplied by the quantity. $3.00 per item for 3 items is $9.00.
  • Each payee's share is calculated on its own. Two payees with 12% each both get 12%. The tab warns you if the percentages add up to more than 100%.
  • You can add each person to a product only once.
  • If you change a share, only new orders use it. Existing earnings keep the old share.
