Steps
Go to the Manage Team dashboard in Porter and set each artist's commission rate
Optionally set separate commission rates for retail/product upsells so artists and piercers earn on retail sales too
Confirm payout routing: send earnings directly to the artist's own account or to the shop account
Let Porter split each card payment automatically between shop and artist at checkout
Review per-artist commission reporting and generated 1099s at tax time
Known gotchas
Commission splits are calculated automatically at checkout on card payments — cash transactions may need manual reconciliation depending on how the shop records them
1099 generation applies to artists paid as independent contractors through Porter; shops with W-2 employees need to confirm how those staff are classified before relying on Porter's automatic tax forms
