SaaS Admin Fee Settings — How the Admin Earns from Vendors

What Is the SaaS Admin Fee?

When vendors use your platform to run their affiliate programs, you (the Admin) can charge them a fee automatically. There are two separate fee areas:

Vendor Market Tools — fee on campaigns the vendor runs through the affiliate program (tracked clicks and sales via the Market Tools system).
Store Admin Fee — fee on the vendor’s own store sales (only relevant if the Store module is enabled).

Both are configured from Marketing → SaaS → SaaS Settings. The fee is deducted automatically from the vendor’s wallet balance as events (clicks or sales) happen — the vendor does not need to pay manually.

The SaaS item appears in the Marketing menu only when at least one vendor feature is enabled (either Market Tools vendors or Store vendors). If you do not see it, go to Marketing → SaaS first and enable the Vendor Status switch on the Vendor Market Tools tab.

How to Open SaaS Settings

Log in to the admin panel.
In the top navigation, click Marketing.
Click SaaS. The SaaS Settings page opens directly.
The page has four tabs: Vendor Market Tools, Store Admin Fee, Vendor Deposit Settings, and Vendor Permission Setting.

Tab 1 — Vendor Market Tools (Affiliate Program Fees)

This is the fee the admin charges vendors for activity on their affiliate campaigns (clicks and sales tracked through Market Tools).

Vendor Status switch

The main Vendor Status switch at the top of this tab enables or disables the entire Market Tools vendor system. Keep it On for vendors to be able to run affiliate programs.

Admin Sale Settings from Vendors (left card)

Field	What it does
Commission Type	Choose Percentage (admin takes a % of the sale value) or Fixed (admin takes a fixed currency amount per sale).
Commission for Sale	The amount or percentage the admin earns from each sale made through a vendor’s campaign.
Sale Status	Switch On to activate the per-sale fee. Switch Off to disable it — vendors will not be charged a fee on sales.

Admin Click Settings from Vendors (right card)

Field	What it does
Click Allow	Allow Single Click — counts only one click per visitor (unique clicks). Allow Multi Click — counts every click regardless of whether the visitor already clicked.
Number of Click	How many clicks must accumulate before the admin fee is charged. For example, set to 10 to charge the fee once every 10 clicks.
Amount Per Click	The currency amount the admin earns per click (or per batch of clicks if Number of Click is greater than 1).
Click Status	Switch On to activate the per-click fee. Switch Off to disable it — vendors will not be charged a fee on clicks.

You can enable Click Status only (and leave Sale Status off) if you want to charge vendors purely based on traffic — regardless of whether that traffic converts into a sale. This is a common setup when vendors are paying for exposure rather than results.

Tab 2 — Store Admin Fee (Store Sales Fees)

This tab is only relevant if the Store module is enabled. It charges vendors a fee on their store’s direct sales — separate from the affiliate campaign fee above.

Click Commission — charge the admin a fee per click on the vendor store (set the number of clicks and the amount).
Sale Commission — charge the admin a percentage or fixed amount per store sale, with its own Status switch.

If you do not use the Store module, ignore this tab.

How the Fee Is Collected — Vendor Wallet Deduction

Vendors do not pay the admin manually. The flow is automatic:

The vendor deposits funds into their vendor wallet (from their user panel → Vendor Wallet, using an available payment method).
As clicks or sales happen on the vendor’s campaigns, the admin fee is deducted from that wallet balance in real time.
If the wallet balance drops below the required minimum (set in the Vendor Deposit Settings tab), the vendor’s campaign links are hidden from affiliates until they top up.

If you have turned off the Vendor Deposit requirement (Vendor Deposit Settings tab → Vendor Status: Off), vendors can run campaigns without a wallet balance. In that case the Admin is responsible for covering all affiliate commissions generated. See How to Turn Off the Vendor Deposit Requirement in this category for details.

Common Scenario: Click-Only Fee, No Affiliate Registration

Some platforms run in a vendor-only model where affiliate self-registration is disabled (General Settings → Registration Form → Disable Affiliate Registration). In this setup:

Only vendors use the platform.
Turn Click Status On and Sale Status Off in the Vendor Market Tools tab.
Set your Amount Per Click and optionally the Number of Click batch size.
Vendors deposit funds into their wallet. The admin automatically earns the per-click fee as campaigns receive traffic.
The vendor deposit system still applies — vendors must maintain a balance or their campaign links are paused.
