# Order-Level Staff and Commissions

Every order can have staff assigned to the whole order, separately from staff tagged to lines. This switch decides what a line with no staff of its own earns.

## Before you start

- Staff commissions is on.
- The **Preferences · Modify** permission.

## Steps

Go to **Preferences → Store → Staff commissions**.

**On** (the default): a line with no staff falls back to the order's staff, splitting the store's default rate across them. **Off**: such a line earns no commission for anyone.

Tap **Save**.

## What happens next

- New orders follow the new setting at once.

## Edge cases

- **A line with its own staff** pays that staff on their own rate, and order-level staff earn nothing extra on it.
- **Off is the stricter setting.** Commission only ever reflects a deliberate tag. Order-level staff still count for attribution and staff performance reports.
- **When a change takes effect.** An unpaid order that is edited later is re-checked against the current setting. An order whose commission was already paid out is never touched.

## Works with
