What Palette is
Palette is a web platform that automates sales commission plans by integrating with business systems. Commission rules can draw on CRM data such as opportunities, engagement, deals, invoices, and meetings. Users can set conditional payout schedules to separate commission calculation from payment, compare plans, use templates for common plan types, overwrite data manually, track changes with comments, and manage commission splits. Monthly statements can be exported to payroll software. Listed integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Google Sheets, and CSV. Palette says its databases are hosted on AWS in France, encrypted at rest, and protected by TLS/SSL in transit; it also says it is SOC-2 Type 2 compliant and makes the related document available on request. All clients receive support by email, live chat, or Slack, with plan-specific options for Scale and Enterprise. Pricing is available on request, and the one-time implementation fee depends on a customer's plans and use case. A seat is a payee on at least one commission plan; admin seats and accountant access are not charged.
