Is there a watertight way of having a client prove sales numbers of a product to you?
Regarding commission owed to you on that product.
So easy to doctor sales figures but this kind of contract must be common.

usually when you enter an agreement that is based on sales, that contract/agreement will include the option to have the books audited in the event of dispute. The threat of audit will theoretically keep 'em honest.

Also depends on the type of sales but if it's online you could have them auto-fire a simple api endpoint. this is how it's done in digital advertising to track sales or leads. there are off the shelf packages that handle this or if you're handy with php or similar you could set something up yourself with little effort. nothing is 100% foolproof but it goes a long way in keeping them honest.
