Commission Sales Report Overview
Reports -> Sales Reports -> "Commission Sales"
A sales commission/spiff is one of the compensations that the employee receives along with the salary when they sell such products as per the criteria. As store owners/retailers, you can apply different types and levels of commissions to individual staff (employees employees/cashiers) in FTx Cloud POS. If the employees are getting commissions (incentives) on selling such products, they will put in more effort to sell the products to the customers.
FTx Cloud POS provides a detailed report of the amount of the commission that is configured in the system. The sales manager/store owner can track how much commission is disbursed to individual employees and at the store (location) level by generating the Commission Sales report.
