What it does
Running a course marketplace with several instructors means splitting every sale fairly and keeping records everyone can trust. Doing that by hand with spreadsheets gets messy as the number of courses and teachers grows. This add-on handles the bookkeeping inside LearnPress. You set a default commission split for the whole site, then override it for particular instructors or individual courses when a different deal applies.
Every course sale is logged with the course name, buyer details, order amount, commission percentage and the instructor's net earnings. Each entry carries a status such as Pending, Completed or Canceled/Failed, so you can see what still needs paying. Payments can be marked manually or handled through payment plugins like PayPal Payouts. Instructors get their own dashboard for orders and earnings, and admins can pull daily, weekly or monthly revenue reports.
Best for
- Multi-instructor course marketplaces built on LearnPress
- Training businesses paying outside instructors a share of sales

Questions about LearnPress Commission
Do I need LearnPress for this to work?
Yes. This is an add-on for LearnPress, so the LearnPress plugin must be active on your site. The commission settings, reports and instructor dashboard all work within your existing LearnPress setup.
Can different instructors get different commission rates?
Yes. You can set one default commission split for the whole site and then give individual instructors their own rates. You can also set unique rates for specific courses when a particular course needs a different arrangement.
