Use WooPayments to earn revenue share on client sites

WooPayments integrates directly into the WooCommerce dashboard and offers multiple payment options, multi-currency support, in-person payments, and more. For more information on WooPayments, or for help with switching clients to WooPayments, contact our support team.

In this guide, you will learn how WooPayments commissions work, the differences between new and pre-existing client eligibility, and how to set up WooPayments for revenue share attribution.

Your agency receives a revenue share on Total Payments Volume (TPV) generated through WooPayments on client sites connected to your Automattic for Agencies account. Site connection is required for revenue share attribution and progression through agency tiers.

There are differences between new WooPayments clients and pre-existing WooPayments clients (see below).

When your clients use the WooPayments gateway on WooCommerce sites that meet the eligibility criteria, your agency automatically earns revenue share on all processed payments. Your revenue opportunity depends on whether you are onboarding new sites or managing existing ones — check your agency dashboard for the specific details for each site you onboard. See below for an outline of the currently available rates.

Every dollar your clients process with WooPayments counts toward your agency’s annual Influenced Automattic Revenue (IAR). This helps you unlock higher-tier status and exclusive benefits in the Automattic for Agencies program. Explore all tier progression perks in our program guide.

See our partner incentives page for full terms and payout timing.

To set up WooPayments and receive payment attribution for revenue share and tier progression:

1. Install the free WooPayments extension on the client site. You can install the extension in two different ways. How you install the extensions does not affect your revenue share:
   • Assign the WooPayments license from the Automattic for Agencies Marketplace
   • Install WooPayments directly from Plugins → Add New Plugin on the client’s site.
2. Connect the client site to your Automattic for Agencies account using either Jetpack or the Automattic for Agencies Client plugin. This step is essential to ensure the revenue share is attributed to your agency.

The entire setup process is documented in our guide to setting up WooPayments.

A site that has never used WooPayments before.

Sites connected after the first transaction do not qualify for new client revenue share. See “Pre-existing WooPayments clients” below.

Your agency earns 5 basis points (bps) on all TPV processed on new client sites launched after joining Automattic for Agencies.

Example: A client store generating $1M in TPV per year = $500 annual revenue share.

1. Install the free WooPayments extension on the client site. Assign a license from the Automattic for Agencies Marketplace or install it directly from Plugins → Add New Plugin.
2. Connect the client site to your Automattic for Agencies account using Jetpack or the Automattic for Agencies Client plugin within 14 days of the first WooPayments transaction being completed.

Pre-existing WooPayments client sites must be connected to your Automattic for Agencies account using Jetpack or the Automattic for Agencies Client plugin within 30 days of your agency joining Automattic for Agencies to be eligible for commission.

Pre-existing sites are assessed daily over a rolling 365-day period to determine whether commission is earned on the site.

Tier	TPV (rolling 365-day period)	Revenue share
Tier 1	$1M+	3 bps (e.g., $300/year on $1M TPV)
Tier 2	$500K–$1M	2 bps (e.g., $100/year on $500K TPV)
Tier 3	Below $500K	No commission

📌 Custom rates may be negotiable for high-value clients at Tier 1. Contact our team for more information.

Being eligible (i.e. connected within 30 days of your agency joining the program) does not guarantee the site is earning commissions. The site must maintain a rolling 365-day average of at least $500K in TPV to earn on that day’s volume. The rolling average is checked daily — if it falls below $500K, no commission is earned for that day’s TPV.

Example of a pre-existing site:

Day	TPV	Rolling average	Commission
Day 1	—	$499K	No daily commission
Day 2	$1,000	$500K	2 bps on $1,000 ($0.20)
Day 3	$500	$499.5K	No daily commission

1. Install the free WooPayments extension on the client site. Assign a license from the Automattic for Agencies Marketplace or install it directly from Plugins → Add New Plugin.
2. Connect the client site to your Automattic for Agencies account using Jetpack or the Automattic for Agencies Client plugin within 30 days of your agency joining Automattic for Agencies.

Beyond direct commissions, your agency also receives Influenced Automattic Revenue (IAR) attribution. IAR is accrued on all connected sites using WooPayments, regardless of commission eligibility:

• $1 IAR for every $100 transacted on any connected WooPayments site (new or existing).
• IAR helps your agency progress through program tiers for additional benefits.

New WooPayments clients	Client sites connected to your Automattic for Agencies account within 14 days of the first WooPayments transaction.	5 bps	Calculated on Total Payments Volume (TPV). Equivalent to $500 per $1M transacted.
