How rules are matched

When a booking is completed:

2. The highest-priority matching rule is applied.
3. Commission is calculated based on the rule's type and value.

Commission workflow

1. Generated — Commissions are automatically calculated when bookings are completed.
2. Pending approval — If auto-approve is off, commissions wait for manual approval.
3. Approved — Approved commissions are included in the next payout cycle.
4. Paid — Commission has been paid to the team member.

Example

A hair salon with a 10% commission rule:

• Booking: $150 haircut + $30 coloring extra = $180.
• If "Include extras" is on: commission = $180 × 10% = $18.
• If "Include extras" is off: commission = $150 × 10% = $15.
