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.

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.
