Today, we’re excited to introduce Commissions 3.6, the latest version of the extension with a few exciting updates.
Benefits of EDD Commissions

- Flexible payouts: Split revenue between multiple users, with options for both percentage-based and flat-rate commissions.
- Simplified management: No more manual calculations! The extension handles all the complex math for you.
Once installed, you can access and manage the extension under Downloads » Commissions.
What’s New in Commissions 3.6
We’re excited to announce a new update to the Commission extension that brings even more efficiency and valuable information to vendors.
First, we’ve drastically improved the performance of paying out vendors. Whether you are generating a payout for a few commissions or tens of thousands of commissions, the new form can handle it.
We’ve also made significant improvements to emails.
Consolidated Commissions Emails
Say goodbye to multiple emails per order. With the upcoming release of Easy Digital Downloads 3.3.0, you’ll have all new email controls available to you.
In previous iterations of the Commission extension, each download that was purchased would generate its own email.
Now, vendors will receive a single email summarizing all the commissions for an order:
Note that this feature is not enabled by default. The option to turn it on is located under Downloads » Emails then click Commissions Earned on an Order:
Simply toggle the setting at the top of the screen to enable the consolidated commission emails feature and click the Save button.
Enhanced Commission Insights & Visibility
The next major update included in the Commissions 3.6 release is the addition of two new email tags.
The first is a tag that displays a vendor’s pending (unpaid) commission amount. The second new email tag shows the vendor’s lifetime commissions earned:
This provides a clearer picture of their overall earnings.
It also helps encourage active vendors. This level of insight shows vendors exactly how their efforts are paying off.
