Using the MultiMerch extension it is possible to set different types of commissions and fees for the store in general, for the seller group and for each concrete seller. Commissions and fees are defined and applied in the following order, ending with the most actual: Default seller group (Store) -> Seller group of concrete seller -> Seller.
That is, if commissions are only defined for the default seller group (in other words, they are defined for the store in general), they are used. If a seller is in a different seller group and commissions are defined for that group, they’re used. Finally, if commissions are defined for the seller specifically, they’re used instead. If a commission field is left empty, it gets inherited from the higher level.
Example 1 (seller is in “another” group) :
Default group commission: 0.30 + 5%
“Another” group commission: 0.50 + 10%
Seller commission: 1.00 + 15%
Final seller commission = 1.00 + 15% per sale
Example 2 (seller is in “another” group) :
Default group commission: 0.30 + 5%
“Another” group commission: 0.50 + 10%
Seller commission: (empty) + 15%
Final seller commission = 0.50 + 15% per sale
Example 3 (seller is in “another” group) :
Default group commission: 0.30 – 5%
“Another” group commission: 0.50 + (empty)
Seller commission: (empty) + (empty)
Final seller commission = 0.50 + 5% per sale
There are currently 3 different fee types in MultiMerch:
• Signup fee – if set, this fee is collected once on seller signup. Setting method to “Balance” will deduct the amount from the sellers initial balance (so seller will start with a negative balance) while “PayPal” will make the seller to perform a PayPal payment on signup.
• Listing fee – if set, this fee is collected once for each product listing. Setting method to “Balance” will deduct the amount from the sellers current balance while “PayPal” will make the seller to perform a PayPal payment when listing a product. Percent field will make the final fee dependent on the product price.
• Sale fee – if set, this fee is collected once for each product purchased. Percent field will make the final fee dependent on the product price.
