You know what’s tricky? Running a team of counselors, sales reps, or placement staff and trying to *manually* track everyone’s commission. One student pays, and suddenly you’re deep in spreadsheets, trying to remember who gets what, when, and how much. And let’s not even talk about the awkward delays: “Hey, just following up on my commission…” Yeah—we’ve all been there. **Qualy changes that.** With Qualy, you can set up your internal commission structure once, and we’ll take care of the rest—**automatically.** ## So… how does staff commission actually work in Qualy? Here’s the short version: * You define how much each staff member earns per sale—flat fee, percentage, tiered commission, whatever suits you. * A student pays. * We calculate the staff’s cut *based on the commission your agency received.* * We pay your staff directly. Yes, *directly* to their bank account. * Everyone sees what’s coming, what’s been paid, and what’s next—right in their own portal. Simple as that. No more back-and-forth. No more explaining percentages to people. No more late-night accounting sessions. ## Keep your team motivated—without micromanaging payments When counselors and sales reps know their commission is accurate, timely, and transparent, they can actually focus on closing the next deal—not chasing you for payments or calculating Excel formulas. Qualy gives your staff: * **Visibility** into their upcoming commissions * **Records** of what’s been paid and what’s pending * **Peace of mind** that they’ll get what they earned You get: * **Less admin** * **Fewer errors** * **No stress** Everybody wins. ## One rule doesn’t fit all—and that’s fine Some agents pay a flat \$200 per student to staff. Others use percentages, like 30% of whatever commission they earned from the school. Some use both—maybe \$100 base plus a performance bonus if a counselor hits 5 enrollments in a month. That’s all possible in Qualy. You can set: * Different commission rules for each staff member * Tiered structures (e.g., 20% on first 3 students, then 25% after) * Bonuses based on enrollments or payment timing No matter how you set it up, **we’ll do the math** and send the money. You stay focused on growth. ## Not just payments—**trust and visibility** Counselors work hard. They want to know their effort is seen—and rewarded. With Qualy, your team doesn’t need to guess when payday is or how their commission was calculated. We give each staff member their own secure portal, where they can: * Track students they’ve helped place * View upcoming commissions * See when and how much they’ll be paid * Access a full history of past commissions And for you? A bird’s-eye view of everyone’s performance—and every payout. No confusion, no hidden numbers, just clean data. ## Works with your structure—however you run things Maybe you don’t want to pay commissions until the student finishes enrollment. Maybe you only pay once the school confirms receipt. Maybe you pay weekly, or monthly. All of that’s supported. We can sync commission payouts to any milestone you choose—student paid, enrollment confirmed, visa approved, even school payout received. Your business, your logic. Our automation. ## All upside, no busywork Let’s face it—this part of agency life used to be a pain. But with Qualy: * No more late commissions * No more staff asking “Did you forget me?” * No more awkward explanations or payout miscommunications Just clear logic, automated payouts, and a team that knows they’re being taken care of. And the best part? **You don’t have to do a thing once it’s set up.** ## Common questions ### Can I set different rules for each staff member? Absolutely. Each counselor or sales rep can have their own commission logic, payment schedule, and bonuses. ### Does Qualy really pay my staff automatically? Yes—once the commission is confirmed based on your rules, we handle the bank transfer directly. ### Is commission calculated on total tuition or just agency profit? You decide—but most agents set commissions based on the agency commission received from the school. ### Can staff see their commissions without contacting me? Yes. They’ll have a secure portal with everything they need—students, payouts, history, all in one place. ### What happens if a student cancels or doesn’t enroll? We’ll follow your rules—only pay commissions when enrollment is confirmed, if that’s your setup. ### Do I need to approve every payment? Not unless you want to. You can choose to review payouts manually or let them run on autopilot. ### What if I pay commissions in bulk once a month? That works too. We can schedule batch payouts based on your preferred calendar. ### Can this work with part-time or freelance reps? Definitely. Anyone with a student assigned to them can be set up to receive commissions automatically. ## More on Qualy **Industries** - [For schools](/international-education/for-schools.md) — For international education schools - [For agents](/international-education/for-education-agents.md) — For international education agents **Support** - [Training](/training.md) - [System status](https://qualyhq.statuspage.io/) — Qualy system status - [Product updates](https://changelog.qualyhq.com) — As we work on Qualy, here we spotlight what we’ve learned and updated across our products - [Contact](/contact-us.md) **Product** - [Demo](/demo.md) - [Enterprise](/enterprise.md) - [Testimonials](/testimonials.md) — Learn what some customers have to say about Qualy - [About](/about.md) — Learn about Qualy's mission and values - [Blog](/blog) — International education payments blog by Qualy - [Trust center](/trust.md) - [API](/api.md) — Qualy API for international education payments - [Zapier](/zapier.md) — Connect Qualy to 7,000+ apps with Zapier - [NexPay](/nexpay.md) — Qualy + NexPay — automate everything around the payment **Legal** - [General terms](/terms-and-conditions.md) - [Payer terms](/terms-for-payers.md) - [Privacy policy](/privacy-policy.md) - [BECS DDR](/becs-dd-service-agreement.md)
