Plugin Description
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.
