# Multi Staff Attribution and Team Commissions on Shopify POS

# Multi Staff Attribution and Team Commissions on Shopify POS

Multi-attribution allows you to credit **several staff members** for the same sale on Shopify POS and split commissions accurately between them.
This is useful when more than one team member has contributed to a sale, such as product recommendations, sales that require multiple staff members, or checkout assistance.
Easyteam manages the entire split automatically according to your existing commission plans.

## When to use multi attribution

Multi attribution is ideal in situations such as:

* Several employees helped the same customer
* A product expert assisted before a cashier completed the checkout
* A manager and associate closed the sale together
* You want commissions to reflect teamwork rather than only the person tapping “Pay”

Using multi attribution ensures commission payouts are **fair**, **accurate**, and **consistent** with how your store operates day to day.

# How to attribute multiple staff members on POS

|| Make sure to add Easyteam's "Attribute sale" tile into your Shopify POS, as Shopify's native staff attribution does not support multi-staff selections.

### Steps

1. Process the order **as usual** from Shopify POS.
2. Find the Easyteam attribution tile on the **post-checkout screen**
3. Select one or more staff members using the **checkboxes**
4. Use the **search bar** to quickly find staff by name
5. Tap **Save** to apply the attribution

The tile shows only **active staff** assigned to the **current POS location**.

||| Important: Attribution is not applied until you tap Save.

# How Easyteam calculates commissions

After a sale is attributed to multiple staff members, Easyteam calculates commission for each person based on:

* Their individual commission plans
* Whether each product in the order is eligible for a commission for the staff member
* The number of eligible attributed staff members
* The rules of your plan (percent, flat, or tiered)

Each staff member is credited with their share of the sale. Sales goals are tracked individually per staff member.

### The logic in practice

* Every staff member sees the **full sale amount**
* The **commissionable value** is split only among the staff who are **eligible** for that product
* Ineligible staff earn **0** for products their plan doesn’t cover
* Total commission never exceeds the amount that would have been paid if only one staff member had been attributed
* Tiered plans work the same way as before, based on each staff member’s individual progress

This ensures commissions remain fair for everyone involved in the sale.

# How multi attributed sales appear inside Easyteam

When viewing sales and commissions in Easyteam, multi attributed sales are clearly identified so you can see how contributions were shared.

### For each sale you'll be able to see:

* **Attributed Staff** - shows how many staff contributed. ${color}[#696969](Tip: Hovering over the number shows all their names).
* **Sales Amount** - the full sale value (same for each staff member)
* **Commissionable Sales** - the portion that applies to that staff member based on their eligibility
* **Commission** - the final calculated commission

These fields also appear consistently when exporting to Excel or CSV files.
You can click into each sale to understand exactly how the split was applied.

# Refunds, returns, and adjustments

If a sale's attribution is changed, a sale is refunded or edited:

* Easyteam recalculates each staff member’s share
* Partial refunds are applied proportionally
* Full refunds zero out the commission
* Multi attribution is preserved even if some staff are later deactivated

There is no extra action required.

# Notes when using Shopify’s native attribution

Shopify’s built-in attribution tool supports only one staff member.
As a **best practice**, choose either Easyteam’s tile or Shopify's tile for all attributions to keep data consistent.

|| Using Shopify’s native reattribution on an order previously attributed with the Easyteam multi attribution tile is not recommended, since it may lead to inconsistent data.

Multi attribution gives your team a more accurate and fair commission process, without extra work. 
Your daily POS workflow stays exactly the same, only the commission results become more accurate.
