Commission Rates For Categories

Sam_400º — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 13:00:51 GMT

I think the answer is no, but is it possible to pay different commission rates for different categories?

I'd like to start paying commission for products that my team can increase sales on, but not on our standard menu items (as they're just processing these).

When I go thought the settings it's only showing to be able to set different rates based on overall takings.

Hey @Sam_400º,

We'd be happy to run this by our Payroll Team to gather more details.

Hey @Sam_400º, just stepping in for @sayra here.

Since Square Payroll is not yet available in the UK, you are correct in saying it would be a feature request to add commissions to specific categories. Commission can be added to employees profiles when you are using either Team Plus, Retail Plus, or for Restaurant sellers.

All the details are listed in our support article Set Up Commission Tracking.
