Know what everyone's owed
before the money moves
One payment, several parties, and terms that differ per seller. Set yours below and watch the payment resolve — the same way Fynex resolves it on the real thing.
Model any split. See it settle.
Pick a split type, set your parties and their terms, and watch one payment divide across every one of them — checked and reconciled before it executes.
Your split rules
Each party takes a percentage of the order. The shares must total 100%.
The settlement
| Party | Amount | % of order | Paid in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller | $85.00 | 85.0% | USD |
| Platform | $12.00 | 12.0% | USD |
| Fynex | $3.00 | 3.0% | USD |
| Buyer is charged | $100.00 |
Clean shares, and a total that closes. One $100.00 payment, 3 parties, and the lines add up to $100.00. Change anything above and that stays true: what the buyer is charged and what the lines come to are the same number, to the cent.
Illustrative, not a quote: Fynex's own share is agreed per case rather than published, and the 3% here is a placeholder so the arithmetic stays whole. Payment processing costs are not modelled.
The moment your terms stop being uniform, the money stops matching the rule
One seller negotiated a better cut. Another is on an introductory rate for ninety days. A third has a flat listing fee on top of the percentage. A single commission field can't hold any of that, so the arithmetic moves into a spreadsheet — rebuilt by hand, every settlement, by someone hoping nobody checks.
The failure is quiet rather than loud. A percentage gets applied to the gross instead of what actually settled, and you pay out money the payment never brought in. A mid-month change leaves two versions live at once. A refund lands and nobody can say whose share it came out of. None of it raises an error — it shows up as a slow leak, and as sellers who stop trusting your numbers.
From a slider to a rule that holds
What you just dragged is a split rule with three lines. Here's what it takes to run it on real money.
- 1
Write the rule once, per seller
A line per party who gets paid: a percentage, a flat amount, or both on the same payment. Each line carries its own priority, a floor it can't fall below and a ceiling it can't exceed. Payees are addressed by the IDs you already use in your own system.
- 2
Preview it before you trust it
Run any amount through the rule and see what each party receives — gross, cost and net, line by line, down to the remainder. The preview isn't a model of the engine. It is the engine, running the same code and the same rounding the money runs on.
- 3
Activate, and change it from the dashboard
Activating a version atomically retires the previous one, so two can never be live at once. Renegotiate a seller's terms and you edit a rule, not a release — and every past settlement can still be traced to the exact terms that produced it.
The arrangements a real rule can hold
The calculator keeps three percentage lines so it stays readable. These are the shapes the engine actually expresses.
Percentage shares
Held in basis points, so a 2.75% cut is exactly 2.75% and never a float that drifts over a million orders.
Flat amounts
A fixed listing or platform fee on the same payment as the percentages, protected by its own priority so it stays whole on a small order.
Different terms per seller
One rule per seller account, negotiated freely — an introductory rate, a loyalty tier, a partner cut — instead of one rate applied to everyone.
Multi-party allocation
As many payees as the arrangement has: seller, platform, referral partner, fulfilment contractor, all resolved against one payment.
Money held back
Hold a share until the condition you set is met — delivery confirmed, a job signed off, a retention period elapsed — then release it.
A declared over-allocation policy
Four behaviours for when the lines exceed the payment. You pick one up front, and it applies identically every time.
Versioned, effective-dated rules
Every change bumps a version with its own effective date, so the terms that produced a settlement are still on file.
A remainder that goes somewhere
Rounding leaves fractions of a cent. They are allocated by rule rather than lost, which is why the lines and the payment always agree.
What a commission field can't do
Most platforms give you one rate and a place to type it. A split rule is a different object.
