Easy Digital Downloads – Tiered Commission Rates

Screenshots

Tiered Commission Rates for Easy Digital Downloads Commissions allows you to easily setup a tiered reward system where your vendors are rewarded with higher and higher commission rates, the more they sell or earn. This is similar to popular marketplaces such as ThemeForest, Fiverr, and alike. Once installed, you will have a new Tiered Commissions Rates section in your Easy Digital Downloads Commissions Settings. On this screen, you will be able to create as many tiers as you wish. Tiers consist of four options: Type: What kind of tier – earnings or sales count-based Threshold: The number of sales or the total earnings a vendor must reach to get the tiered rate Rate: The rate the vendor is given automatically when they reach the threshold Disabled: Select to disable the tier Rate Expiration You can enable the Rate Expiration option to reset tiered commission rates on the 1st of every month. Exclude Unpaid Statuses By default, tiered rate calculations include paid and unpaid commission statuses. By checking this option, only “paid” commissions will be included. Use Download Stats Thresholds can be either based on download earnings (and sales) or commissions. This setting ignores the rate expiration setting. Use-case Examples Let’s look at some real-world examples of how Tiered Commission Rates could potentially be set up, based on sales volume: 0 – 100 sales = 50% commission rate 101 – 200 sales = 60% commission rate 201 – 500 sales = 70% commission rate 501+ sales = 80% commission rate Or even one like this (based on total commission earnings): $0 – $100 in commission earnings = 50% commission rate $101 – $200 in commission earnings = 55% commission rate $201 – $500 in commission earnings = 60% commission rate $500+ in commission earnings = 70% commission rate It’s been proven over and over again that providing your vendors incentives like higher commission rates dramatically increases the vendors likelihood to actively promote, upload, and create more products and/or services. Features Number of sales and total earnings tier types Mix and match tier types, allowing for a flexible reward structure Thresholds can be either based on download earnings (and sales) or commissions Adds a note to the payment record when a tier condition is met Calculate based on either paid and unpaid commission statuses, or paid only Disable tiered rates globally, per-user, and/or per-download Easily disable specific tiers when not required Seamless integration with Easy Digital Downloads and Commissions settings Translation-ready and contains a POT file to get you started translating into your native language Have a specific use-case? Tiered Commission Rates includes plenty of developer-ready filters and action hooks to make it possible! Developed using the best practices, with security, extensibility, and readability in mind This plugin requires Easy Digital Downloads and Commissions version 3.4.6 to function. Important Note Flat rate commission amounts are ignored, since it wouldn’t make sense to override these in instances where specific agreements are in place with vendors. Only percentage based tiers (and rates) are possible at this time. Bugs If you find an issue, let us know here! Support Please visit the support page if you need to submit a support request.
