Product Revenue Share for WooCommerce

Pay your collaborators every time their product sells.

Add an artist, author, instructor or partner to any WooCommerce product with their cut. Every order works out what they've earned, waits out your return window, then shows you exactly who to pay.

  • 14-day refund, no questions
  • WooCommerce 8.9+
  • HPOS compatible

The month-end math you won't miss.

Here's what paying your collaborators looks like without a plugin, next to the same job with Product Revenue Share.

Holds and refunds already handled

Made for shops that don't sell alone.

If someone helped make it, write it, teach it or promote it, they can earn from it. Here's how a few kinds of stores set it up.

Illustrator15% of each sale

Print and merch shops

Your illustrator earns on every tee, hoodie and tote that carries their artwork. No more guessing which orders were theirs.

Instructor40% after coupons

Online courses

Instructors get their share of what students actually paid, so a launch-week discount never turns into an awkward conversation.

Author$2.50 per copy

Books and zines

Pay the author a royalty per copy and the cover artist their own. Sell a box of 20 and all 20 copies count.

Maker70% to the maker

Consignment and co-ops

Makers who stock your shelves see their sales as they happen. You stop tallying by hand at the end of every month.

Creator10%, no link needed

Creator collabs

Co-designed a product with a creator? They earn on every sale, including customers who never clicked their link.

Charity partner$1 per candle

Giving back

Set aside a fixed amount from each sale for a cause, and let them log in to see exactly what they've raised.

Everything between the sale and payday.

Put the right people on each product

Open a product, find the person by name or email, and set their cut: a percentage of what the customer paid, or a flat amount for every unit. Add as many people as the product needs. A plain sentence under the list tells you what they'll get and what stays with you.

  • Percentages come off the price after coupons
  • Flat amounts multiply with quantity, so 3 mugs pay 3 times
  • Anyone with an account on your store can be a payee

Product editor, Revenue Share tab

Each order works out its own split

When an order reaches Processing (or Completed, if you'd rather wait until it ships), every payee on it gets their earning recorded. Once per order, never twice, even if the status flips back and forth. Open any order and you'll see exactly who is owed what from that sale.

  • You choose which order status counts as a sale
  • Duplicate earnings can't happen, even on re-saved orders
  • Mark earnings paid right from the order if you need to

WooCommerce order screen

Returns never turn into overpayments

New earnings sit on hold for 30 days by default, long enough to cover most return windows, and you can change that to suit your store. If a customer sends something back, each payee's share shrinks by the same proportion on its own. Refund one mug out of three and Meera's $11.52 becomes $7.68.

  • Full and partial refunds are both handled
  • Balances clear on their own every day, nothing to run
  • Turn refund reversal off if you settle returns another way

Revenue Share settings

Payday takes a few clicks, not an afternoon

One screen lists everyone with money waiting, split into ready and on hold. Tick who you're paying, pick how you paid them, add a reference if you like, and confirm. Every order involved gets a private note, so your records match without extra work.

It keeps the books, it doesn't move money. Pay by bank, PayPal or cash like you do today, then record it here.

  • Pay a whole balance, or pick the orders you're paying
  • Set a minimum so small amounts wait until next time
  • Export balances and payout history to CSV

WooCommerce > Revenue Share > Payouts

Payees can check their own numbers

Everyone you pay gets a Revenue Share tab in their account on your store. It shows what's ready, what's on hold, what's been paid, and the sale behind every amount. They stop wondering, and you stop answering “any idea what I made this month?”

  • The tab appears in My Account after their first sale
  • Every earning shows its order and product
  • Payout history includes method and reference

Your store > My Account > Revenue Share

The small things you'll be glad about later

Payout hold period

New earnings wait before they can be paid, 30 days unless you change it. Match it to your refund window so you never pay out on an order that comes back.

Refunds adjust the share

Refund a whole order or just part of it, and each payee's earning shrinks to match before payday.

Minimum payout

Balances under your threshold wait until they're worth the transfer fee.

Default payment method

Pre-select PayPal, bank transfer, cash or other, and change it per payout.

A paper trail on every order

Each paid order gets a private note with the amount, so your records line up.

CSV exports

Hand balances or your full payout history straight to your accountant.

Built for HPOS

Works with High-Performance Order Storage, the Cart and Checkout blocks, and the classic setup.

Hooks for developers

Adjust amounts with prs_earning_amount, or react when earnings clear and payouts go out.

Not an affiliate plugin. Not a marketplace either.

WooCommerce has three common ways to share money with other people. They solve different problems, so here's how to tell which one you need.

Affiliate plugins

Like AffiliateWP or YITH Affiliates

How people get paid
Through a tracked link or coupon. They earn when a customer they referred buys.
What you set up
Affiliates sign up, get a link, and you track clicks and conversions.
Pick it when
You want outsiders promoting your store for a cut of what they bring in.

Marketplace plugins

Like Dokan or WC Vendors

How people get paid
Vendors sell their own products through your store, and you take a commission.
What you set up
Vendors register, get approved, and manage their own listings.
Pick it when
You want other sellers running their own shops on your site.

Product Revenue Share

This plugin

How people get paid
By product. Whoever you add earns on every sale, however the customer found it.
What you set up
You add people to a product and set their cut. That's the whole setup.
Pick it when
You own the products and want to share what they earn with the people who helped make them.

Based on each product's own public description. Product names belong to their owners, and we're not affiliated with any of them.

Questions people ask before buying

Still not sure it fits your store? Email [email protected] and a real person will get back to you.

Does it send the money for me?

No. It calculates and tracks what each person earns. You pay them your usual way, by bank transfer, PayPal or cash, then mark the payout as paid so every balance stays correct.

How is it different from an affiliate or marketplace plugin?

An affiliate plugin pays people for the customers they send through a link or coupon. A marketplace plugin lets other sellers run their own shops on your site. Product Revenue Share pays the people behind a product you sell, on every sale of it, wherever the customer came from.

Who can I add as a payee?

Anyone with a user account on your store. Create an account for your artist or partner, then find them by name or email on the product.

Can one product pay several people?

Yes. Add as many payees as you need, each with their own percentage or fixed amount per item. Each share is calculated on its own, and the product tab warns you if the percentages add up to more than 100%.

Does it work with variable products?

Yes. Payees you add to a variable product earn on every variation, based on the price the customer paid.

When does a sale count?

When the order is Processing or Completed. You choose which one, and Processing is the default. Orders that go straight to Completed count too. Each order counts only once, even if its status changes later.

What happens when an order is refunded?

A full refund cancels each payee's earning from that order. A partial refund lowers it by the same share, so if one of three mugs is refunded, each earning goes down by a third. You can turn this off in Settings.

How long are earnings held before I can pay them?

30 days from the order date by default, which covers most return periods. You can choose any number of days, including 0. After that, the earning is Ready to pay.

Do I need a license key to use it?

To pay people, yes. The plugin records earnings as soon as it's active, but the Payouts and History tabs open only after you activate your license key.

What happens if I don't renew?

The plugin keeps working on every site where your key is active. Only updates and support stop.

Does it work with HPOS and the block checkout?

Yes. It supports WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage and the Cart and Checkout blocks, and it works with the classic setup too.

Set it up once. Every sale after that pays the right people.

Add your first payee today and let the next order do the math.
