# Commissions Tab

Commissions are generally assigned universally for all services/products in the main tab; nevertheless if commission varies by service category you can set the percentage per service category from the Commissions Tab. Note that commissions are calculated and applied before tax, after any discounts. Commissions will be calculated/assigned when Gift Certificates are redeemed.

Note that when changing commission values, this will apply for future sales and not for already completed transactions.
