Easy Digital Downloads Commissions

Easy Digital Downloads Commissions is an official extension of the Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) ecosystem designed to automate the recording, calculation, and tracking of commissions in digital stores. It is intended for marketplaces, online academies, course platforms, and any project where multiple authors, collaborators, or partners participate in the sale of digital products and need to receive a percentage of each sale.

The extension allows you to assign commissions to any WordPress user, either as a percentage of the total product price or as a fixed fee per sale. You can set a default rate at the site-wide level, establish specific rates per user, or define custom commissions for each individual product. This three-level flexibility (site, user, and product) ensures that every revenue-sharing scenario is covered without complications.

Among its most notable features is native integration with Frontend Submissions, which allows sellers to submit their own products from the frontend and have commissions automatically activated, assigning the seller as the recipient. It also includes email notifications to sellers when a commission is generated, with the option to send one email per commission or group all commissions from an order into a single message to avoid duplicates.

The extension offers commission report export tools to facilitate periodic payments to sellers, as well as a shortcode [edd_commissions] that allows sellers themselves to view their commissions and export their own data from a dedicated page. Additionally, it includes advanced options such as automatic revocation of unpaid commissions when a refund occurs and commission tracking for recurring subscription payments when using the Recurring Payments extension.

If you manage a digital store with multiple creators, a digital products marketplace, or an educational platform where instructors must receive their share of each sale, Easy Digital Downloads Commissions eliminates the chaos of manually calculating and distributing earnings, offering an automated, transparent, and reliable system directly integrated with your EDD store.
