Overview
Estimated commissions show a real time projection of commission earnings based on the gross profit of orders. They are designed to give visibility into earning impact as orders are being placed , rather than only at the end of the month. These numbers are estimates and may change as orders change.
Estimated commissions are available in two main areas of the app.

Issues like low margin orders can be identified earlier, reducing unexpected outcomes later.
