How Tiered commission work

Tiers are defined by sales thresholds — for example, 15% on the first 10 sales per month, 22% from 11–25 sales, and 30% beyond 25 sales. Partnero's tiered commission system tracks performance in real time and automatically applies the correct rate when a partner crosses a threshold.

Why it matters for your program

Tiered commissions motivate volume. Affiliates who are close to a tier threshold have a strong incentive to push harder. For program owners, tiers allow you to reward your best performers generously without overpaying at every level — preserving margin on lower-volume partners while competing for the attention of top affiliates.
