Automatically track contributor commissions on every sale — without affiliate bloat.
Commission Hero is built for store owners who work with real contributors (artists, kit makers, designers, collaborators). Assign a contributor to products, set a commission rate, and get clean reports that make monthly payouts simple.
Highlights
- Assign contributor(s) per product + choose commission basis (regular vs sale price)
- Clean reports with pagination + paid/unpaid tracking
- Front end Contributor-only sales tracking inside WooCommerce “My Account”
Who It’s For
Commission Hero is perfect for:
- Music & sound kit stores paying creators per pack sold
- Collaborative product sales
- Merch and digital product shops working with multiple designers
- Boutique labels / collectives splitting revenue with collaborators
- Anyone who needs simple commission tracking without a complex “affiliate program”
How It Works
1) Assign a contributor to a product
Choose the contributor (a WordPress user) and select a commission percentage.
2) Decide how commissions are calculated
Use regular price or sale price as the commission basis.
3) Input Base Price Subtraction to subtract the base price from a product before calculating commissions
4) View commission reports instantly
Commission Hero logs commissions per order line item and presents everything in a readable reports table.
5) Mark commissions paid (optional)
When you pay contributors (weekly/monthly), toggle paid status so nothing gets missed.

Why Commission Hero (Instead of Affiliate Plugins)

Commission Hero is built for real contributor payouts:
- No affiliate links
- No referrals
- No tracking scripts
- Just clear commission assignment + reporting
