Sales commissions

Sales commissions, calculated automatically

No more spreadsheets at the end of the month. Tavalle calculates each sales rep’s commission from the invoices that are actually paid — and shows what they will earn once their customers pay.

Fair, clear and motivating

Paid invoices only

A commission counts in the month the invoice is paid, so your team is rewarded on real cash, not on promises.

Reward new customers

Each sales rep has two rates: one for a customer’s first order and one for the following orders.

From pending to paid

Every commission has a status: Pending customer while the invoice is unpaid, OK to be paid once the customer pays, then Paid — the best reason to follow up payments.

Charts and heatmap

Commission per month for new and existing customers, and a sales rep × month heatmap for managers.

The right visibility

Sales reps see only their own commissions, managers their zone, administrators everything.

Part of your finances

Commissions count as a cost in the Finance dashboard, so your monthly result is the real one.

Employees and freelancers

Commissions are calculated on the amount before VAT. A freelance rep invoices theirs with VAT, counted as VAT paid in Finance; an employee simply gets the commission. The e-mail tells each one what to invoice.

Freelance invoices kept

Upload the invoice a freelance rep sends for their commissions, next to the payment. All of them are in one list with their status, Pending or Paid, statements and invoices go into the accounting export, and a missing invoice is flagged.

Pay in one click

Managers tick the commissions that are OK to be paid and pay them in one click. Amount, base and rate are frozen at that moment.

Statement by e-mail

When a commission is paid, the sales rep receives a statement PDF by e-mail, and every payment is listed by month in “Commissions paid”.

The rep can change, the commission follows

If an order was credited to the wrong sales rep, it can be corrected even after invoicing — the commission moves with it, and the change is logged.

Month by month, rep by rep

Pick a month to see the paid invoices behind every figure. Managers compare their reps at a glance on the heatmap, and everything exports to Excel for payroll.

  • Rates are set per sales rep
  • Alerts when a rep has paid invoices but no rate set
  • Export of every table to Excel

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is a commission earned?

When the customer pays the invoice. The commission counts in the month of the payment.

Can new customers earn a higher commission?

Yes. Each sales rep has a new-customer rate, used on a customer’s first order, and a regular rate for the following orders.

Can sales reps see their commissions?

Yes, only their own: the commissions already earned and the ones waiting for their customers’ payments.

Are commissions included in the finance figures?

Yes. They are counted as a cost in the Finance dashboard, per month and per zone.

How are commissions paid out?

Once the customer has paid, the commission is OK to be paid. A manager pays it in one click, the amount is frozen and the sales rep receives a statement PDF by e-mail.

Do commissions include VAT?

No: they are calculated on the amount before VAT. A freelance sales rep adds VAT on their own invoice to you; Tavalle shows it and counts it as VAT paid.
