Understanding Campaigns and Commissions

Campaigns are how your promoters earn. Set one up on your event, attach commissions, and every attributed admission is tallied automatically. No spreadsheets at the end of the night, no counting wristbands, no disputes.
What a campaign is
A campaign is tied to an event and holds the commissions your promoters and Hosts work under for that night. Because campaigns are per event, your Saturday can pay differently to your Friday, and a big night can run richer commissions than your regular weekly.
Open a campaign to see it live: how many guests your promoters have invited, how many turned up, and exactly what's owed so far, updating as the night runs.
The two commission types
Commissions are built for one side of your hierarchy:
Promoter commissions: a base rate per admission, plus conditional bonuses
Host commissions: paid per admission, or a percentage of their crew's performance. See Host Commissions and Hierarchies
The two things commissions pay on
Admissions & Tickets: pays on admissions and tickets, with tiers and bonuses. This is your standard door commission
VIP Services: pays promoters for selling a VIP booth or birthday package, either a set rate per booth or a percentage of the booth total
Set it once with defaults
Set a commission as default and every new promoter is automatically assigned it, so your standard deal applies without setup each time someone joins the team.
How promoters get paid
Guestii tallies what's owed, and the money stays between you and your promoters. Guestii never touches it:
In Australia: Guestii generates an ABA file, so you can bulk pay your whole promoter team straight from your business bank account in one upload
Everywhere else: promoters connect their Stripe account, and you pay them through Stripe directly from Guestii
Every payout traces back to the commission rules and the admissions behind it, so your promoters see exactly why they earned what they earned.
