Description

The Commissions add-on automatically records a percentage or fixed amount for each sale made by the registered sellers, saving the commission history within the Easy Digital Downloads store. Each user receives an individual earnings report with a period filter and a monthly chart, and the administrator exports unpaid commissions in CSV for bulk payments via PayPal.
