Splitting a commission between team members?

Hello! I'm in charge of running the PoS for our dog grooming salon and I wanted to see if there was some way I could more easily split commissions between team members. We have a stylist/goomer and a bather who occasionally both work on a single client. I'd like to be able to ring up the customer in a single transaction while splitting the commission between the team members. As of right now, I'm ringing clients up as a separate cashier and then adding the commissions to both groomer and bather when I run payroll at the end of the week. It's clunky but it works.

Hey @MuddyPawsToccoa. Your current work-around is about all I can think of. Square does not currently support split commissions. If you feel strongly that this is something that should be considered and placed on a future product roadmap, head over to the Ideate Board and submit your request there. It would help if you can prove (in your case, at least) that this is something you’d do more than just occasionally. I’m not sure I see that this would be valuable to a large number of Square sellers, but maybe you have a different perspective you can describe to support your request.

Good luck!
