How to earn a fee from the supplier discount
Sometimes the client pays suppliers directly at full price, and the studio earns a fee for securing the discount. In ArchiBoard you can set a scale: the bigger the discount, the bigger the studio's share. You can also set when the client pays this fee.
- 1
Open the fee settings
Open the project → «Project finances» and find the «Studio fee» block.
- 2
Set the discount scale
In «Scale by supplier discount», add tiers with «+ tier»: «Discount from» N% → the studio takes M% of the discounted price. For example, discount from 10% → 9%, from 15% → 13%.
- 3
Set the minimum
Set what the studio takes if there is no discount or it is below the first tier.
- 4
Choose when the client pays
In «When the client pays the fee», add events with «+ event»: «Item approval», «Supplier payment», «Delivery to site» or «Installation». The total must be 100%, for example 50% after the supplier payment and 50% after installation. Click «Save».
Good to know
- The scale applies to items the client pays the supplier for directly.
- How the studio earns (commission, markup or discount share) is chosen in the project's finance settings.
