Commissions

Eventmie Pro is a flexible event hosting solution. You can use it as a Multi-organization (multi-vendor) or as a single organization website.


In the case of the multi-vendor, you as a website owner can invite event organizers to signup and create events on your website. And that's where you'll also need a commission system, for sharing the profit.


So, here's a semi-automatic commission system in which you can set commission percentage (%) from Admin Panel, and then commissions on each booking will be calculated automatically.


At first, all bookings credit goes to the website owner's (Admin) bank account and then the owner distributes the organizer's payout manually and can update the Payout Transfer status on the Admin Panel.


Eventmie Pro makes the payout transfer system as smooth as cheese 🧀. Follow the below guidelines, and you'll become master in it, in no time.

Commission Calculations

This is how, the Admin Commission and Organizer earnings are calculated behind the scenes. Let us explain from an example.


Payables Rates Calculations Total
Ticket Price (TP) $100 $100 $100
Organizer Tax (OT) 5% + 5% (5% of $100) + (5% of $100) $10
Admin Commission (AC) 5% 5% of ($100 + $10) $5.5
Admin Tax (AT) 3% + 3% (3% of $100) + (3% of $100) $6

{primary} Admin Commission = 5% of (Ticket Price + Organizer Tax)


{primary} Admin Tax won't be a part of Organizer earning. It'll completely go to Admin account.


Total Customer Paid Total Organizer Earning Total Admin Commission
TP + OT + AC + AT (TP + OT) - AC AC + AT
$100 + $10 + $6 + $5 = $121 $110 - $5.5 = 104.5 $5.5 + $6 = $11.5

  1. In case of Online Payment the Is Paid is set to Yes, while in case of Offline/Direct payment, Organizer or Admin needs to update the Is Paid status to Yes. The bookings will appear in Commissions only after the Is Paid = Yes.

  2. If a booking is made after making the Organizer Earning's Transferred status set to Yes, then that new booking of the same month will appear as a new entry in Commission, as Un-Transferred payout.

  3. Once, the Un-Transferred Organiser earning for the same month is set to Transferred, then it'll be merged in one single Transferred Payout for the month.

  4. The commission will record and show the overall calculations with floating-point precision.

Refunds Settlements

In case of booking cancellations & refunds regarding the Organizer payouts, that has already been transferred, then the refunded amount will come into Refund Settlement that needs to be claimed back from the Organiser.

  • Admin can also mark a Refund Settlement status to Yes, which shows that the refunded booking has been claimed back from the Organizer payout.
