Set the commission: percentage, fixed amount, subscription
Choose how your affiliates are paid, on a one-time sale or a recurring subscription.
This article describes a signed-in space; it is not indexed by search engines.
Before you start
- A program already created.
- The guard-rails (minimum, maximum) are set by the platform and shown on screen.
Steps
- Open “Commission”.
- Choose the program type: one-time sale or subscription.
- Choose the pay: a percentage of the price paid, or a fixed amount in the program currency.
- For a subscription, choose how long commission runs: once, a number of months, or as long as the subscriber is active.
- Save: the summary shows the cost per sale.
Expected result
New sales use these terms; they are frozen on each commission when it is created.
If it does not work
- A change does not apply to commissions already created, nor to subscribers already enrolled (their duration is frozen).
- Value refused: it exceeds a platform guard-rail; the message names the limit.
- No commission during a free trial: the first one arises at the first real payment.
