Key Features and Use Cases

With Affiliate-Level Commission Settings, you can:

Set Custom Commission Rates: Override the default campaign commission for individual affiliates.
Manage Tiered Commissions: Adjust commission rates for multi-tiered campaigns.
Reward High Performers: Offer higher commissions to top-performing affiliates without affecting the rest of the campaign.

Example Use Case:

Let’s say your default campaign offers a 40% commission to all affiliates. However, you have an affiliate who consistently drives high-value sales, and you want to offer them a higher rate. Using this feature, you can easily set a 50% commission for that affiliate without changing the overall campaign settings, allowing you to reward their exceptional performance.

Steps to Configure Affiliate-Level Commission Settings

Step 1: Navigate to the Sub Account Affiliate Manager

Step 2: Select the Affiliate

Find and select the affiliate for whom you want to set a custom commission rate. This will take you to the affiliate's profile page.

Step 3: Choose the Campaign

Scroll down to the Active Referral Link section and click Customize next to the campaign where you want to adjust the commission settings.

Step 4: Configure Affiliate-Level Commissions

Switch to the Commissions tab.
Enter the custom commission rate for that affiliate.
If the campaign is multi-tiered, configure the commission rates for each tier.
You can adjust both Default Commissions and Product-Based Commissions as needed.
Save your changes.

Important Notes

Precedence: Affiliate-level commission settings always take priority over campaign-level settings during commission calculations.
Tier Management: Tiers cannot be changed within the affiliate profile settings. To adjust tiers, you must modify the campaign settings.
Support: Currently, this feature is supported only for affiliate campaigns where the source is a funnel or website.

This feature ensures that you can offer customized incentives, ensuring your top performers remain engaged and motivated. By managing commissions at an affiliate level, you can fine-tune your reward system without affecting your overall campaign structure.
