Filters
Set your filters before clicking Run Report.
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Date range | Sets the time period for commission calculations. Use this to pull weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly totals for payroll. |
| Locations | Narrows the report to one or more specific locations. Multi-location operators should always confirm the right locations are selected before using data for payroll. |
| Salesperson | Filters to one or more specific individuals. Useful when reviewing a single employee rather than the full team. |
| Show Inactive | Check this box to include salespeople who are no longer active in the system. Useful when running historical reports that cover periods when a former employee was still on staff. |
Once your filters are set, click Run Report to load results, then Export Report if you need a downloadable file.
Understanding the report
The Commissions Report displays one card per salesperson. Each card shows their commission totals for the selected date range and location(s), and can be expanded to show the individual transactions that make up those totals.
Salesperson card columns
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Commission Type | The commission category, as defined in your commission plan (e.g., Unlimited, Retail). Each category appears as its own row within the salesperson's card. |
| Amount | The number of qualifying transactions in that category during the selected period. |
| Base | The total base commission earned — the standard per-sale rate multiplied by the number of qualifying transactions. |
| Bonus | Any bonus commission earned on top of the base amount. This will be $0.00 if no bonus is configured for that commission item. |
| Grand Total | The sum of all base and bonus commission across all categories — the total amount owed to that salesperson for the selected period. |
Deferred Commission row
When deferred commissions are configured, the Commission Type table includes a dedicated Deferred row. This row shows the number of deferred transactions that have been accepted and the total commission earned on those transactions. The deferred total rolls up into the salesperson's Grand Total.
For more information about Deferred Commissions, see Deferred Commissions.
Transaction detail drill-down
Each salesperson card can be expanded to show the individual transactions that contributed to their commission totals, organized by location. Each transaction row includes:
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Date/Time | When the transaction occurred. |
| Type | The transaction type — Retail or Unlimited. |
| UL Signup | A checkmark indicates this transaction was a new membership conversion. Blank means no conversion occurred (e.g., a retail visit that didn't result in a signup). |
| Lane | The pay lane the transaction came through. |
| Salesperson | The salesperson attributed to this transaction (will only the Salesperson currently in view) |
| Length | The duration of the sales presentation for this transaction (e.g., 0:38). |
| Status | The match quality for this transaction — typically Tight Match (audio was recorded and matched) or Loose Match (salesperson was attributed but no matching audio was captured). See Salespath: Understanding Tight vs. Loose Matches for more detail. |
| Commission | The dollar amount of commission credited for this individual transaction. A $0.00 value typically means the transaction didn't result in a commission-eligible sale (e.g., a retail visit without a membership conversion, or an item not included in the commission plan). |
| Deferral Date | The date the commission was finalized |
| Original Sale Date | The date of the original wash transaction |
| Status | Accepted or Skipped |
| Salesperson | The salesperson attributed to the original sale |
| Deferred amount | The commission amount tied to the deferred transaction |
| Details | Opens the full transaction detail modal (see below). |
Transaction detail modal
Clicking Details on any transaction row opens a modal with two panels
Transaction Details panel
- Type — Retail or Unlimited

Salesperson Information panel
- The salesperson's name and avatar
- Sales Time — the length of their presentation
- Audio Recording — a Play button to listen to the session audio directly from this modal
Invoice Details
- The actual POS line items and costs from this transaction — useful for verifying that the item name matches what's in your commission plan.
Action buttons
- Override Salesperson — reassigns the transaction to a different salesperson
- Disqualify / Qualify — removes or restores this transaction's commission eligibility without losing the audio recording
- Audit History — shows a log of any changes made to this transaction
- View Presentation — opens the full session presentation
How commission is calculated
The Commissions Report searches your POS transaction data for the time period and location(s) you've selected. For each transaction, it looks for line items whose names exactly match the commission items listed in your commission plan.
A few important things to know:
- Item names must match exactly. The name of the item in your POS must be identical to the name entered in your commission plan — character for character, including capitalization and spacing. For example, "Graphene Clean" and "Graphene Clean Club" are treated as two different items.
- Changes to commission plans apply retroactively. If you add or correct a commission item in your plan, running the report again will pick up any qualifying historical transactions. No manual reprocessing is needed.
- Commission is tracked per salesperson per location. If a salesperson works at multiple locations, make sure you've selected the correct location(s) in your filters.
Exporting the Commissions Report for payroll
The Commissions Report can be exported as a CSV file. The export breaks commission down by individual line item per salesperson, so you can audit exactly which plans and wash book items contributed to each payout without cross-referencing manually. Commission is also grouped by location.
To export:
- Apply your filters and click Run Report.
- Click Export Report.
- A confirmation banner will appear: "Report queued for download."
- Navigate to Reports > Report Exports.
- Locate your export in the list and click Download.
| Note: Exports may take a few minutes to process, especially for wide date ranges. For the full list of exportable reports and file formats, see Exporting Reports in Salespath. |
Controlling what salespeople see
By default, salespeople can view their own Commissions Report. Two visibility controls are available to Tenant Admins:
Hide Commissions Report from salespeople Go to Settings > User Manager > Permissions and toggle on Hide Commission Report for the Salesperson role. This removes the report from their navigation entirely.
See Salespath User Roles and Permissions for a full list of adjustable role permissions.
FAQ
Q: A salesperson's totals are $0 or they're not appearing in the report at all. What's wrong?
The most common cause is that commission plan items haven't been configured for their specific location. Commission plans require items to be added per location — setting them up at one location does not carry over to others.
To check: go to Settings > Commission Plans, select the relevant plan, and confirm that commissionable items are listed for the salesperson's location. If they're missing, add them using Actions > Pull from POS (or add manually), then run the report again. The report will retroactively pick up any qualifying transactions once the items are saved.
Also confirm that the commission plan is assigned to the salesperson and that the item names in the plan match your POS line items exactly.
Q: The report is taking a long time to load. Is something wrong?
Not necessarily. The Commissions Report processes POS transaction data across all salespeople and locations in the selected date range, which can take time. The report loads progressively, so data will appear as it's retrieved — you can start reviewing results before everything finishes loading. If an export does not complete after an extended period, contact support@rinsed.co.
Q: Can I disqualify a transaction from commission without losing the audio recording?
Yes. Find the transaction in question either in the Commissions report or from Reports -> Daily Transactions, click Details, then click Disqualify. The transaction will be excluded from commission calculations but the salesperson's audio session remains attached. You can re-qualify the transaction the same way.
Q: Do former member re-activations count toward commission?
Yes, by default. If a former member reactivates and the POS line item matches a commission item in your plan, it will count toward that salesperson's commission totals. There is currently no automatic way to exclude re-activations unless they use a distinct plan name in your POS system. Contact Rinsed Support if this is a concern for your operation.
Q: Can commission plans be based on conversion rate instead of number of sales?
No. Graduating commission plans can only be structured around the number of memberships sold, not conversion rate.
Q: I updated a commission amount. Does the change apply to past transactions?
Because the Commissions Report searches transaction data dynamically each time it runs, changes to base or bonus amounts in an existing commission plan will be reflected retroactively when you re-run the report. However, if you create an entirely new commission plan (rather than editing an existing one), transactions processed before that plan was created will not be included.
Note that Salespath points are awarded going forward only — they are not applied retroactively.
Q: Do changes to deferred commission amounts apply retroactively?
Because the Commissions Report searches transaction data dynamically, changes to deferred commission amounts in an existing commission plan will be reflected retroactively when you re-run the report. Note that Salespath points and XP from deferred commissions are awarded at finalization and are not applied retroactively.
