About Commissions

Commission is a percentage of a transaction's value paid to someone who is booking it. 


In Thynk we have many types of commissions and they are all explained in Thynk University. 



Who sets up Commissions? 

  • The Project Manager will have enabled commissions in Setup if the property wants to use commissions. 

  • The Sales Team can manage commissions on their own accounts themselves.

  • The Thynk (property or corporate) admin will manage commission property wide - so if commissions are used consistently for all accounts across the board. 



Setting up Commissions for Properties

Commissions are set up by property.  Your Thynk project manager would have enabled tracking commissions in Setup during the initial system configuration.


You as Thynk Admin, will manage these commission percentages for each property.  When you add commission in the properties these will be applied to all bookings.  The sales team can edit those commissions on the bookings if needed. 


To add property-wide commissions, follow the steps in Thynk University.
