Product commission
Programs > Edit > Product commission
Product commission allows you to specify a particular commission rule for each product or for the entire product collection.
This feature would be beneficial for products with a greater or lower pricing. For example, when the products price are higher, you can pay affiliates higher commission rate to boost sales.
How to set up?
To set product commission, go to Programs tab.
Here, click the Edit button > Product Commission tab.
Here in this tab, click New Product Commission.
This will open up the New Product Commission box.
Now, decide whether you want to apply product commission on separate products or a whole collection.
When you type in the name of the product or a collection, a list of suggested items will appear. Next, select items/collections that you want to apply on.
You also have the option to choose the product variants. For example, if a product has various sizes, you can choose to apply product commission on only 1 size. If the products have no variants, please ignore this option.
After choosing the items, set the commission type and commission rate, then click Add.
Finally, the newly created product commission will be displayed in the Product commission tab of the program.
You can edit or delete the product commission by clicking the two buttons on Actions column.
How product commission is calculated?
If a customer's purchase includes a product that has specific commission, the special commission rate is applied for that product while the commission of other products are still based on the program default commission.
For example, if product A (30$) has 20% commission and program commission is 10%, when a customer makes a purchase of 1 product A and other items which have a total value of $100, commission that affiliates receive would be: $30 x 20% + $100 x 10% = 16$.
Note: If your program commission type is Fixed amount per order, when you add special commission for a product, any order includes that product will have double commission (commission for the whole order and commission for the special products)
For example, if product A (30$) has 20% commission and program commission is 15$ per order, when a customer makes a purchase that contains product A (no matter how many items in the order), commission that affiliates receive would be: 30$ x 20% + 15$ = 21$.
