Commission ledger

Commission that agrees with your books

An append-only commission ledger that accrues only on revenue you've actually collected, with holds and clawbacks handled as new rows, never edits.

What it solves

Pay commission on invoices raised and you end up clawing money back when clients don't pay or a sale is refunded: an awkward conversation and a broken spreadsheet. Accrue only on money you actually collected, and holds, releases and clawbacks stop being drama: they're just entries.

How we're different

Commissions accrue against the same collected revenue your double-entry books record, with integer money maths that's property-tested. The ledger is immutable and idempotent: corrections are new rows, so the trail always reconciles.

What it does

Inside Commission ledger

01

Accrues on collected revenue

Commission is recognised only when a referred client's payment is actually collected, not when the invoice is raised, so you never promise money you haven't received.

02

Append-only and idempotent

An immutable ledger where every accrual, hold, release and clawback is a new row. Corrections never edit history, so the numbers always reconcile and re-processing can't double-count.

03

Holds, clawbacks and milestones

Apply a hold period before commission becomes payable, reverse it cleanly with a clawback if a sale unwinds, and post one-time milestone bonuses when a partner crosses a conversion or revenue threshold.

04

Self-referral review queue

When a referral's email or phone matches the partner's own, the accrual is still recorded, but flagged and held out of payable until you approve or reject it. Honest books, no silent blocking.

05

Net of the discount the partner gave

Accrual is on what was actually COLLECTED, net of coupons, so a discount a partner handed out automatically lowers their own commission rather than yours. A hold period runs from the accrual date, and churn before maturity triggers an automatic clawback. Re-running the accrual can't double-count: each event carries an idempotency key, so a replay reconciles instead of duplicating.

Questions

When does a commission actually get recorded?

Only when the referred client's payment is collected. Accrual follows real money in, so you never owe commission on an invoice that was never paid, and if a payment reverses, a clawback row unwinds it cleanly.

Can I edit a wrong commission entry?

No. The ledger is append-only, so a correction is a new row rather than an edit. That keeps the history immutable and the totals reconcilable against your books.

You never pay commission on an invoice that was not paid, and there is no clawback argument later.
