Your commission data explained
Overview
Understanding your commissions starts here. We've added a new filter called Only Paid Orders to the Commissions tab in Data. It's on by default, so the first thing you see is always based on confirmed, paid orders.
- Only Paid Orders shows data from confirmed and paid orders only. Orders that are still processing, unpaid, or cancelled are not included.
- Want the full picture? You can untick the filter "Only Paid Orders" to view all orders, including ones that are still processing or haven't been paid yet.
