The Sales total for your order determines the commissions you earn, the BeCause Cash you earn, and Lifetime Sales for Rank Advancement. Here's how it works:
  • Sales (for BeCause Cash and Rank Advancement)
    • This is always your order subtotal minus discounts (like BeCause Cash)
    • For example, if you have $100 of items in your cart and you use $20 in BeCause Cash, your Sales total is $80
  • Sales (for Commissions)
    • This is always your order subtotal of commissionable items in your cart minus discounts (like BeCause Cash)
    • For example, if you have $100 of items in your cart, and all of the items are commissionable, and you use $20 in BeCause Cash, your Sales total for Commissions is $80. However, if half of the items in your cart are commissionable and half are non-commissionable, your Sales total for Commissions is probably $40. To know this total exactly, we need to look at the specific items in your cart. So, let's look at some examples...

In the example order above:

  • You have 8 items in your cart. Four items are commissionable and four items are non-commissionable.
  • You used $100 in BeCause Cash on the order (shown in the Discount column)
  • Your Sales total for Commissions is $350.00
  • Your Sales total for earning more BeCause Cash and for Rank Advancement is $500.00
  • The total payment due on the order (which includes shipping and sales tax) is $542.49
Principles to remember:
  • Paying for non-commissionable items helps you earn BeCause Cash and helps you Rank Advance
  • Discounts (like BeCause Cash) are applied equally to all items on the order
  • Unfortunately, this information isn't displayed clearly on your Dashboard or in your order summary emails. So, please learn how it works so that you know how to calculate correct totals.
Let's look at another example...

In this example order:

  • You have 5 items in your cart. All of the items are commissionable.
  • You used $200 in BeCause Cash on the order (shown in the Discount column)
  • Your Sales total for Commissions is $0.00
  • Your Sales total for earning more BeCause Cash and for Rank Advancement is $0.00
  • The total payment due on the order (which includes shipping and sales tax) is $5.99
Principles to remember:
  • BeCause Cash (and other discounts) help you to receive FREE products, but do not count toward Commissions, BeCause Cash, or Rank Advancement
  • BeCause Cash does not pay for sales tax or shipping
