I don't know why P3 is going this. I have a party and I was looking at it. My commissible sales are $384.20 but the party total is 469.53. I do not have anything for the host put into the show yet. I have one past host that ordered the trifle. Maybe it is right. I have one host gift of $4.00. It still does not add up.
 
Is it the tax and shipping? That seems like a lot??
 
Did you have any direct ship charges on there? We don't make commission on shipping, and that could add up quickly. Other than that, I have no idea...
 
Trifle bowl, tax, and shippingYour commisionable sales will not include the trifle bowl for the past host or tax and shipping; this is what you receive a commision on. Your guest sales (which is what determines the level of benefits for your current host) will include the trifle bowl, but not tax and shipping. Your total sales include the guest sales and tax and shipping.

Like Dawn said, I bet it's tax & shipping, plus the past host trifle bowl. The past host trifle takes the show total to $399.xx, so $69 for tax & shipping wouldn't be out of the question depending on your tax rate & how many guests there were. If you had 10 guests, that's $40 right there.
 
show total never is the same as commissionable sale

I feel dumb now. ROFLMAO! I never paid any attention to it until yesterday. It freaked me out. Makes sense that it counts shipping and tax. DUH
 
Yeah,

There are actually 3 totals on the screen. Guest Sales, Commissionable Sales and Show Total.

Guest Total is the amount that is used to determine the host benefits

Commissionable is the amount we get paid on

Show total is the amount due from the host/guests including shipping and tax


(Common question - don't feel stupid!!!)
