Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do Sales Reps (or any user) place orders?

A) Reps can go to the orders page.

B) Enter customer.

C) Add items to cart.

D) Make sure cart is correct and select payment terms.

E) Select delivery address, delivery date and place order.

2. What are the different user roles in Repsorder?

  • Admin - Account Owner

  • Co Admin - Can see all data in the platform

  • Sales Manager - Can see all data pertaining to themselves and Sales Reps beneath them

  • Sales Rep - Can order for their customers. Can be managed by a Sales Manager/Admin/Or Co Admin

3. How do commission tags work?

An admin can create a commission tag based on specific products, categories, or the entire store.

For example a commission tag can be either:

  • 5% for Product A, Product C, Product H

  • 7% for Category G

  • 20% for Entire Store.

An admin will tag the rep with the specific commission tag. If the rep has a commission tag and orders something that falls in the commission rules, they will receive commission credit for the order.

Commission tags can be assigned to Sales Reps/Managers or customers.

If the commission tag is on the customer, it will override the commission on the Sales Rep.

**Commission is calculated when the order is placed in Repsorder.

**If the price of a product is changed in the Shopify draft order, the commission % will stay the same but the price of the product will change and thus the overall commission will change.

4. What if a Sales Rep or customers has multiple commission tags?

If two commissions overlap, they will be added together. The most commission a rep can get is 100% based on the entire order.

In the example below 5Com is 5% commission and 20Com is 20% commission. Since they are both on the entire store, they overlap so the total commission is 5%+ 2-% = 25%.

5. Can Commissions ever be greater then the order amount?

We calculate commission by:

(Product price) x (commission %)

Shopify allows merchants to discount based on the order total (and specific item too). If the discount for the order total is high, the commission may be more then the final order.

For example if the item is $39 and commission is 10%

$39 x 10% = $9 commission

If the total order is discounted by $35, then the order total will be only $4 (which is less then the $9 commission)

If you discount at the item level, the commission will be greater then the order total. For example the discount for the item is $9, so the item is now $30.

$30 x 10% = 3.

6. Who can add commission tags?

Any user with Add Commission permission.

7. What if I change my commission % in the future?

If you change the commission %, any new orders that have the commission tag will receive the new %.

Previous orders will show the old commission % at the time when the order was placed in Repsorder.

8. How quickly is order data synced?

Generally, order data syncs within a few seconds. However, It typically depends on how quickly the Shopify Webhook responds. The sync may take up to 1-2 minutes maximum.

9. Does commission by customer show all commissions?

This will show all commissions for orders that are marked as paid.

It does not include commissions that are pending sales (draft orders). Also it does not include sales outside of the Repsorder system.

10. How do commissions work when a commission tag is enabled/disabled?

Reps will only receive commission credit if the tag is enabled when they place the order in Repsorder. If the tag is disabled before the order is 'marked as paid' or 'marked as pending' in Shopify, the commission will still be credited to the sales rep.

If a commission tag is disabled when an order is placed in Repsorder, the rep will not receive commission. If the commission tag is enabled and then the order is 'marked as paid' or 'marked as pending' in Shopify, the commission will still not be credited to the sales rep.

If a commission tag is added after an order is placed in Repsorder, the rep will not receive commission. If the commission tag is added and then the order is 'marked as paid' or 'marked as pending' in Shopify, the commission will still not be credited to the sales rep.

11. Can I delete Sales Reps?

30. In Commission Analytics, what is the difference between Order v Pending Order, Sales v Pending Sales, Commission v Pending Commissions.

If the order is placed and has not been paid for yet, it will be Pending. The Order #, Sales amount and Commission will all be Pending.

Once the order is Paid, it will be counted as a true Order, Sale, Commission.

31. How do I calculate Commission by Profit or Margin?

As an admin, go to the Settings and check the "Commission by Margin" box

When setting up a commission tag, make sure the box is checked

In your Shopify Admin dashboard, make sure to have the cost of the item set up.

When Repsorder calculates the commission for an order, it will know the final price of the item and cost of the item so will give commission based on the margin.

For example:

  • Item is $39

  • Cost per item is $5

  • Commission is 17%

  • Commission for the rep on the item will be ($39-$5) X 17% = $5.95
