The Commission settings page provides a detailed overview of how commissions are structured and calculated for affiliates. The available options include:
- Default commission value: Set the base commission amount or percentage that affiliates earn per referral when no category-specific rule is applied.
- Default commission value: Set the baseline commission amount. For instance, a fixed value could be $10, or a percentage might be 15%.
- Category conditions: Add, remove, or configure commission rules based on product categories. Each condition can target one or multiple categories and apply either a percentage or fixed rate commission.
- Commission for each category: Assign custom commission rates to specific product categories. These override the default commission for products within the selected categories.
- Limit commission per Referral Order: Set a cap on how much commission can be earned per order. Choose from:
- Disabled: No limit.
- Fixed: Set a maximum fixed amount.
- Percentage: If Percentage is in use, specify the “Limit value“.
- Exclude own purchases: Prevents affiliates from earning commissions on purchases they make through their own affiliate links. Enabling this ensures fair commission distribution and avoids potential misuse of the affiliate program for self-benefit.
- Exclude taxes from commissions: When enabled, this option excludes tax amounts from the commission calculations. Commissions will be based solely on the product price
