### Condition types

#### 1. Coupon

Apply a different commission when orders use a specific coupon.\
Options include:

* **Affiliate coupon** – applies to all coupons assigned to affiliates in BixGrow
* **Any coupon** – applies to all coupon orders
* **Equal to** – applies to a specific coupon code
* **Contain** – applies to all coupons that contain certain words

> **Example 1:**
>
> You can set a 15% commission for orders using “SUMMER” coupons, while keeping the default rate at 10%.

> **Example 2:**
>
> I'm having a holiday sale in my store and don't want to pay commissions on orders that have `HOLIDAY` discounts applied. How do I set it up so that the app automatically cancels commissions in this case?

> In this example, if the order has a coupon whose name contains "HOLIDAY" applied, it will not be tracked nor given any commissions.

#### **2. Customer**

Differentiate commission rates for new or returning (old) customers.\
This helps you motivate affiliates to attract new shoppers.

> **Example:**
>
> Reward affiliates with 20% for new customers and 10% for returning ones.

{% hint style="info" %}
If an order meets more than one condition set up in **Advanced commission rule**, only the rule with higher priority will be applied. You can change their priority by rearranging the rules.
{% endhint %}

#### **3. Lifetime tracking**

Set a custom commission rate for orders placed by customers linked through [Lifetime commission](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-MgF8JYyDG6E04QAIO9_/s/8I1FvDPwi1VP7QixsjAS/~/changes/306/affiliate-program/special-commission-rules/lifetime-commission#id-3.-lifetime-commission-amount).\
Ideal if you want to lower or increase payouts for repeat lifetime orders.&#x20;

> **Example:**
>
> Affiliates get 8% for lifetime orders (the subsequent orders) instead of the default 10%.

{% hint style="info" %}

#### You must enable [Lifetime commission](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-MgF8JYyDG6E04QAIO9_/s/8I1FvDPwi1VP7QixsjAS/~/changes/306/affiliate-program/special-commission-rules/lifetime-commission#id-3.-lifetime-commission-amount) to apply this different rate

{% endhint %}

#### 4. Recurring order tracking

Apply unique commission rates to recurring orders (e.g., subscription renewals).\
You can differentiate payouts for initial vs. repeat subscription purchases.

> Example:
>
> Give 10% for the first subscription order and 5% for renewals.
