Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:58 pm

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might want to start offering commissions to your employees or affiliates. Thankfully, there’s a built-in commissions feature in WooCommerce that makes this easy to do. In this article, we’ll show you how to add commissions to WooCommerce.

First, you need to go to WooCommerce > Settings in your WordPress dashboard. Then, click on the ‘Commission’ tab.

On the Commission tab, you’ll see two options: ‘Enable Commission’ and ‘Commission Type’. If you check the ‘Enable Commission’ box, then you can select whether you want to give a percentage or fixed amount commission.

You can also specify whether you want to give commissions on shipping fees and taxes. If you check the ‘Calculate Commission On Shipping’ box, then employees will get a commission on shipping fees. And if you check the ‘Calculate Commission On Tax’ box, they’ll get a commission on taxes as well.

Now that you’ve configured the general settings for commissions, let’s take a look at how to add employees and affiliates so they can start earning commissions.

PRO TIP: Adding commissions to WooCommerce can be tricky and may result in unexpected charges. Be sure to thoroughly test any changes before implementing them on a live site.

Adding Employees or Affiliates

To add an employee or affiliate, go to WooCommerce > Employees or Affiliates in your WordPress dashboard. Then, click on the ‘Add Employee’ or ‘Add Affiliate’ button.

On the Add Employee/Affiliate page, you need to enter their email address and name. You can also set their commission rate by clicking on the ‘Commission Rate’ tab.

And if you want to give them access to your WooCommerce store, then check the ‘Grant Access To WP Admin Dashboard’ box. Once you’re done, click on the ‘Add Employee/Affiliate’ button.

Repeat this process for each employee or affiliate that you want to add. Once they’ve been added, they’ll be able to start earning commissions on your WooCommerce store.
