Is better transparency on UGC related payouts coming?

It is currently very difficult, as a group owner, to determine how much revenue you are making from UGC sale commissions and limited resales. They are not differentiated under the revenue tab, and from what I’ve heard, potentially they do not show up there at all.

It’s been incredibly confusing for me, doing calculations I’ve seen revenue from sales of items my group owns in the transactions tab that only make up 30% of the sale price of the item, and no other sale to go along with it. I’ve never seen a commission.

This has been going on for more than a year and a half, and while it’s believable that the revenue is being delivered, it’s also believable that mistakes may have been made, and with the extremely strict moderation system that seemingly blocks commissions at random when a group sells an item it’s created, or to a group member, it’s impossible to tell if you’re really receiving the revenue.

Can we expect more transparency and better data on this for groups soon, and when?

The entire revenue tab concerning UGC is completely lackluster. It would be really helpful if I could see age range or gender for the people that are buying my items, or even country.
(as a percentage for each item for security reasons)

The group revenue page doesn’t support commissions for some odd reason; in fact, the transaction type the API uses for listing commissions simply doesn’t work if requesting it from a group. This includes any type of sale, not just UGC; it would be nice to see this changed for more accurate revenue reporting and to finally eliminate Robux which can not be traced back to a source.
