Setting up affiliate commissions
Once your affiliate program is open, it's time to set up commissions for your products.
Here's how to set up affiliate commissions for your affiliate program:
From the Affiliates page, click on the Settings tab to access your commission options.
Once on your Affiliate settings page, you'll see options for setting up your commissions:
Default commissions - Set your default commission for each sale that’s referred by an affiliate.
Product-specific commissions - Override your default commission for specific products.
Let's take a look at each one of the commission options:
Default commission
Set a percentage or fixed amount commission that applies to all of your products.
If no product-specific commission is set, the default commission will be used when calculating affiliate sales.
Select the option and enter the value you'd like to use as your default commission:
Product-specific commissions
You can also set commissions for specific products. These will override the default commission rates for those particular products.
Here's how to set up product-specific commissions:
Click on + New commission to get started.
Select a product from the dropdown menu and set a specific commission rate for this product.
Click on Add commission to save your product-specific commission.
You can repeat this process multiple times if you'd like to add multiple product-specific commissions.
And that's it! You've now taken the steps to set up affiliate commissions for your affiliate program. When you're ready, let's head to Step 3 to add affiliates to your program.
