With Porter’s built-in automated commission splits for all credit card payments, weekly payroll is a breeze. But if you’re handling cash payments or operating outside of automated payouts, here’s how to manually calculate what your artists are owed.
🧾 Step-by-step: Running Payroll Reports
Log in to app.getporter.io
Go to the Reports tab
Choose your date range
Select your filter type:
Payment Date – best for accurate payouts and financial reporting
Appointment Date – filters based on when the appointment occurred
✅ We recommend always filtering by Payment Date for payroll.
Select the Artist you’re squaring up with
Apply any additional filters (e.g., service type, retail checkouts)
📊 Which reports to use
1. Revenue Report
This shows the total sales and a breakdown by payment method
Since credit card commissions are already automatically split by Porter, the main thing you’re looking at is:
Cash sales 💵
Example: If an artist had $4,520 in cash sales and they’re owed 50% commission, they should be paid $2,260
2. Appointment Transactions Report
Dive into a line-by-line breakdown of each payment
Useful if you want to audit or verify specific appointment payouts
