How Do Commission Payouts Work?
Your business earns 15% of flower, tree, and Remember Book sales. Each month, Gather reviews your commission earnings for each location and cuts one check per location when the cumulative commission reaches $100, depending on the volume of orders (flowers, trees, and books) on your Remember Pages.
The check will include the following codes, which you can use to reference the type of order or sale on your commission check:
FL = Flower
MT = Memorial Tree
RB = Remember Book
Important Note: If you have questions about your commission check or payout for a particular month, please email Gather Support at help@gather.app and we will be happy to review your inquiry for you.
