Commissions

A commission is a fee paid to a third party who sells products on your behalf. In Smile, you can pay commission on accounts, subscriptions and charge types.

Smile uses three entities to manage commissions:
  • commission earners—represent a person who is paid commission.
  • commission structures—specify the commission rates that you pay to a commission earner.
  • agents—associate a commission structure with a commission earner.

Each agent contains one or more commission earners, and each commission earner is associated with a commission structure. Agents let you easily assign multiple commission earners to the same account or subscription.
