Apart from default commission rates for services, products and gift cards, Versum also allows you to set up commissions for specific services, products as well as service and product categories. We call them "exceptions" because unlike default commission rates, they work only for specified products and services.


Commission rate hierarchy


Default commission rates relate to all services, products and gift cards. If an exception has been added for a category, it will overwrite the default rate. In turn, an exception for a specific service or product overwrites an exception for a category.


Sample scenario:

An employee has a default 10% commission rate for services, a 15% rate for the service category "Hair" and a 20% commission rate for the service "Ladies' Cut", which belongs to the "Hair" category. If the employee performs the "Ladies' Cut" service, she will receive a 20% commission. If she performs any other service from the "Hair" category (e.g. a "Men's Cut"), she will receive a 15% commission. If she performs any other service which does not belong to the category, she will receive a 10% commission.
