How does it work?
Once the split commissions have been set up on your staff commissions table, Slick will simply split this payment based on those % to send to staff and business individually!
Each account that receives a payment will pay their individual fees.
How does commissions split deposits work?
All deposits taken via SlickPay SINCE May 22nd 2025 (Online or POS) will now be automatically split by % commission based on the service category!
Please note, if any deposits have been taken for staff with split commission stripe accounts before May 22nd, they would have been paid in full to self-employed staff via Stripe - it's your responsibility to collect the business's share from them if owed.
How do I check who received the deposit?
To see who received the deposit:
Go to Daily Cashup and select the date the deposit was paid.
Use the Card via SlickPay report – expand ‘Card in-store’ or ‘Card online’ (whichever applies), then expand ‘Deposits taken’ to see client payments and who received them.
This deposit was sent in full to the staff member.
This deposit was split between the salon and staff member.
How do the fees work?
Both the salon and the staff member pay the same fees.
It works like this -
The client has paid £100.
1.29% of £100 is £1.29.
If the salon receives £50 and the staff receives £50.
The 1.29%fee is applied in the same way.
1.29% of £50 is £0.645.
If both the salon and the stylist pays the same fees on their £50, then it results in £0.645 x 2 = £1.29.
What if I already have split payments?
You can set up Split commissions - you just need to add all of the staff % into the table under Menu - HR & Team management - Staff commissions.
Then just go to Online booking, e vouchers and payments - Staff: Online Services, Stripe Accounts & Tips.
Make sure staff are set to split commissions as you see here!
(This option is only available to Advanced and Supercharged salons). Book in with your Account manager to learn more.
What do I need to prepare before set up?
Before you can start splitting your payments to staff at the check out, you need to have your commission table filled out. You do this from Menu - HR & Team management - Staff Commissions.
Your staff wanting split commissions at check out will also need to have their individual Stripe accounts set up on this setting!
Why won't it let me set up split commissions?
If you are on Essential, you need to upgrade to Advanced or Supercharged.
How do I set it up?
What if staff only get commission on some service categories?
You can add commission rates only for individual categories. If you do not have a commission structure on some categories, please leave these empty and 100% of that category will be sent to business account.
Please note - If you want 100% of the payment to go to the staff member please add 100 into this field.
What if I use split payments and I want to use that but 50/50?
In this case, you need to add your 50% into the retail field and make sure you've added 100% into every other service.
When do staff get paid?
Staff will be paid on the chosen payout schedule from their Stripe account. This can be either next day, weekly or monthly.
The most common is next day. Here is how it works!
If you'd like to change to weekly or monthly please contact us via Live chat. If you'd like to check your schedule, go to your Stripe dashboard via online booking, E vouchers and payments!
Where can I find my invoice?
How do I report on split commissions?
