    "The default % is only a starting point — you can change it on each sale, repair or rent order.",
    "An agent can still buy from you and bring in repairs as a customer; their commission is kept apart from what they owe you.",
    "Seeing commission needs the customer commission view permission, and paying it needs the payout permission, so you can keep it to owners and managers."
