Shopify commission splitting app
VendorPayout helps Shopify merchants configure vendor commission splits as percentages or fixed amounts by vendor, product, or SKU. It supports multiple splits for a product, vendor sales and payout information, separate dashboard access, and PayPal Payouts as part of the broader vendor payout workflow.
What commission splitting means in VendorPayout
Commission splitting defines how a sale is divided between a store and one or more vendors according to the store's operating rules. VendorPayout supports the configuration needed for the core vendor workflow:
- Choose a percentage or fixed commission amount.
- Configure rules by vendor, product, or SKU.
- Handle multiple splits for a product.
- Use split overrides when an exception needs manual control.
Configure vendor splits and create split overrides for implementation guidance.
Build rules around the way your store works
A vendor relationship may use a percentage for one product and a fixed amount for another. VendorPayout supports those configurations by vendor, product, or SKU without requiring every item to follow one rule.
This page describes the verified split capabilities. It does not promise support for every tax, shipping, discount, deduction, cost-of-goods, or accounting scenario.
Connect commission information to reports and payouts
Shopify orders are processed nightly for reporting. Vendors can receive separate dashboard access to view their sales information and payout history, while merchants manage the broader payout workflow.
For related guidance, see how Shopify orders sync, reporting in VendorPayout, and vendor logins.
Manage payout operations after review
VendorPayout supports automatic vendor payouts through PayPal Payouts with daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly schedules. Multiple currencies and manual overrides are supported. Commission configuration is one part of the process; this page does not establish PayPal fees, eligibility, settlement timing, or failed-payment handling.
