What Is Sell Media Commissions Addon?
The addon is developed by Graph Paper Press and is an e-commerce plugin for WordPress. It requires the free core plugin to operate. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for digital sales management.
It automatically logs what percentage of a sale belongs to the original media creator. The extension is designed for agency owners and studio administrators wanting a structured way to compensate multiple photographers on a single storefront.
Plugin Features
The extension adds dedicated administrative tools for tracking contributor revenue directly in the WordPress dashboard.
Automated Payout Tracking
The plugin tracks every successful transaction across your media store. It calculates the exact monetary split owed to the original photographer based on criteria you define. By automating these math calculations, store owners eliminate manual spreadsheets.
Agency and Contributor Percentages
Administrators establish specific commission rates for different users or agencies. When a customer purchases a high-resolution photo or physical reprint, the addon credits the assigned user account immediately. This system handles ongoing balances until store managers are ready to initiate manual payouts.
