Give an Individual Affiliate a Custom Commission Rate

Sometimes a star performer deserves more than the campaign default. Affiliate-level commissions let you raise (or lower) one person's rates without touching anyone else.

Example

Your campaign pays 40%. One partner consistently brings high-value customers, so you give that partner 50%. Everyone else stays at 40%.

Set a Custom Rate

1. Go to Marketing > Affiliate Manager and click the affiliate in the list.
2. Scroll to Active Referral Links.
3. Click Customize next to the campaign you want to change.
4. Switch to the Commissions tab.
5. Enter the custom rate. In a multi-tier campaign, enter a rate for each tier.
6. Adjust Default Commissions and Product-Based Commissions as needed.
7. Save.

Rules and Limits

• Affiliate-level settings always take priority over the campaign's own rates when commissions are calculated.
• You cannot change the number of tiers from the affiliate profile. To add or remove tiers, edit the campaign.
• This option is available for campaigns whose source is a funnel or website.
• Changes apply to future commissions, so review pending items before expecting different numbers.

Good Habits

• Record why a special rate was granted so it can be reviewed later.
• Revisit custom rates when you restructure the campaign, since they continue to override it.
• For automatic rewards based on performance, consider level-up rather than editing rates by hand.

Good to know: Because custom rates beat campaign rates, changing a campaign default will not change those affiliates' earnings.
