2021 PRODUCT SALE COMMISSIONS
35%
ONLINE DIRECT SALE COMMISSIONS
Flat Commission Rate: 35% of online sales
ONLINE & APP CREDIT CARD PAY-OUT SCHEDULE
All credit card funds are held for 48 hours, which gives you time to process a refund if a transaction is made in error. After 48 hours the transaction is locked in. If your Unit has a balance due to Council on your popcorn invoice statement, the funds will be applied towards that unpaid balance 2 business days after you take the sale. This applies to the entire transaction amount for Trail’s End App sales, and towards your commission amount for all Online Sales.
What does that look like?
App Sales: Your unit runs a storefront at Walmart on Saturday, and rings up $300 of credit card transactions. You made one transaction by mistake and issue a $20 refund on Sunday (within 48 hours). At the end of the day on Tuesday (2nd business day), $280 is applied towards your popcorn invoice statement.
Online Sales: Your Scout makes an online sale for $100 on Sunday, and your unit gets a 35% commission. At the end of the day on Tuesday, a $35 credit is applied towards your popcorn invoice statement.
What if I don’t owe money for popcorn?
If you don’t owe money for popcorn, you can transfer your App credit card sales and online commissions into your unit account. There are two scheduled transfers every month, one on the 14th, and one on the 28th.
