BigCommerce runs online stores, orders, and buyer payments. Wingspan manages worker records, required checks, and pay. A worker record is a payee. It holds the selected Contractor or W-2 type.
Seller, affiliate, and service fees connect store sales to contractor work. Agreed terms set each fee. Store shoppers stay buyer records. A shipped order alone does not create a worker or an amount owed.
An engagement is a shared work template. An assignment is one worker's job under that template. It holds agreed rates and dates. Service work links to work items and logs. Managers review the work log. Approval creates one amount owed. The contractor sees an invoice. Your team sees the same amount as a payable. Finance approves payment in a separate step.
Known fees also support direct payables. Use one path for each amount owed. W-2 workers use pay statements and employee payroll runs with tax withholding. They stay out of contractor bills.
Wholesale orders link to client billing. Buyer money and worker pay stay separate. Shared order IDs and pay status return to BigCommerce.
