# Commission priority ## 1. Between tracking methods: Affiliate link & Affiliate coupon As you've known, 2 tracking methods can be used to calculate your affiliates' commission: by link or coupon. However, under any circumstances, only one will take effect. Therefore you won't give two commission types within an order even if you enable both tracking types and customers use both affiliate links and coupons to place orders. In case both are used, the order will be tracked **by coupon** and will give the affiliate a coupon commission only. ``` Tracking by coupon > Tracking by link. ``` ## 2. Between commission types In case many commission types are applied to the same referral at the same time, **only ONE** will take effect and the order will be tracked by the one that comes first as below: ``` Lifetime commission > Special commissions > Default commission. ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
