What are affiliate commissions & rewards?

Affiliate commissions and rewards define how partners earn for driving results.


A commission structure determines:

What action earns a reward (sale, referral, lead)
How much is paid (percentage, fixed amount, recurring)
When it’s paid (one-time or ongoing)
Who qualifies (specific partners, products, or segments)

A flexible commission system lets you strategically incentivize behavior, not just pay for transactions.

Why commission flexibility matters

Top affiliates look for clear, competitive earning potential.

Support different partner types

Influencers, SaaS affiliates, agencies, and B2B referrers require different reward models.

Scale without complexity

Automated calculations remove manual adjustments and payout errors.

PercentageReward your partners with a percentage of the sale amount.
Fixed amountReward your partners with a fixed commission.
