Will a new commission rate change commission already earned?

In the appTeam and permissionsUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

By default, a new rate applies only to new commission.

When a rate changes can instead be set to Recalculate earned commission too in Commissions.

Review that setting before changing a rate. Commission codes can take precedence over a salesperson's personal rate.

Should I include Not earned yet when paying commission?

No. Not earned yet is a forecast of what open quotes from the selected period would earn. Use Earned for commission already earned under your store's rules, and review refunds, shares and earning dates before preparing payment.

Exporting a payroll report does not pay anyone.

If I change or delete a saved fee, do orders that already have it change?

No. Existing orders keep their own copy of a saved fee's name, amount and settings.

Editing, hiding or deleting the preset affects future selections. Review an existing order separately if its charge also needs changing.

Do catalog price changes update quotes I already saved?

No. Saved quotes and drafts keep their recorded option prices and labels when the catalog changes.

Placed orders keep their sold details too. Re-picking an option value on a saved quote uses today's price, so make that change only when you intend to revise the offer.

Does updating an email design change messages already scheduled?

No. A scheduled email keeps the design version chosen when it was scheduled. Publishing a newer template or changing the default email theme doesn't restyle that waiting message.

Review scheduled work separately when changing a design, especially if the update contains information those recipients need.
