Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Commission Tracking

Can each artist have different commission rates?

Yes! Each artist can have completely unique commission structures based on their agreement—percentages, tiers, booth rent, or any combination.

How are tips handled?

By default, tips go 100% to the artist who provided the service. You can configure tip pooling for front desk or apprentices if desired.

What about chargebacks or refunds?

Refunds automatically adjust commission calculations. You can configure whether chargebacks deduct from artist payouts or are absorbed by the studio.

Can artists see their real-time earnings?

Yes! Artists have a dashboard showing current pay period earnings, historical payouts, and pending transactions.
