What is Sales Commission?

Sales Commission is a NIZU Cloud WorkSpace app (plugin) that turns your invoices, subscriptions and clients into an automated commission and sales-performance engine. It lets you build sales teams, define how commissions are calculated, track referral sign-ups, set objectives, award achievement badges and pay your reps — all inside the same WorkSpace you already use for invoicing, clients and expenses.

Because it reads directly from the invoicing and client data already in your WorkSpace, commissions are recorded automatically when a sale happens. There is no spreadsheet to maintain and no separate system to reconcile.

What Sales Commission does

• Sales teams. Group your staff into colour-coded sales teams with members and managers. Each user belongs to one sales team.
• Commission programs. Define the rules that pay a commission — a percentage of the sale or a flat amount per sale — triggered by a subscription purchase or renewal, a paid invoice, an item sold, or a manual entry. Programs can apply to every team or only to selected teams.
• Referrals. Give each sales rep a personal referral link and QR code. When a visitor signs up through that link, the new client is automatically assigned to the rep as their owner, and clicks and sign-ups are counted.
• Public plans. Attach catalogue items to a team as public pricing plans and share a ready-made pricing page.
• Objectives. Set weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly targets for an individual rep or a whole team — measured by number of sales, sales volume or commission volume — and track progress automatically.
• Commissions. Every qualifying sale creates a commission record with a status of Pending, Approved, Paid or Rejected. Commissions can also be recorded manually.
• Badges. Reward achievement with gamified badges awarded when objectives are met or lifetime commission milestones are reached.
• Payouts. Bundle approved commissions into a payout that is recorded as an expense in your WorkSpace, keeping accounting and commission tracking in sync.
• Reports & leaderboards. See total sales, total commissions, top performers, performance by team and by rep, and which objectives are on track.

How commissions are recorded automatically

Sales Commission listens for events in your WorkSpace. When an invoice tied to a subscription is created, or when a payment is recorded against an invoice, the app checks your active commission programs and writes a commission for the responsible sales rep. Every commission is linked to a real client and a real invoice, so the numbers always tie back to your books. If an invoice total later changes, the linked commission is refreshed automatically.

Who is it for?

Sales Commission is built for agencies, SaaS companies, service businesses and any team that pays its people based on the sales they generate. It suits sales managers who need a transparent, auditable commission process; finance teams who want payouts recorded as expenses; and sales reps who want a live view of what they have earned and how they are tracking against their goals.

Why it matters

• No spreadsheets. Commissions calculate themselves from data you already capture.
• Transparency. Reps see their own commissions and their team's performance in real time.
• Motivation. Objectives, badges and leaderboards keep the team engaged.
• Accountability. A clear Pending → Approved → Paid workflow, with payouts recorded as expenses, gives finance a full audit trail.
• All in one place. No extra subscription and no external integration — it lives inside your WorkSpace.
