Campaigns & Commission Rules

Campaign rules determine how commissions are earned, calculated, and controlled.

Commission Rule Layers

• Global default rule.
• Campaign-specific overrides.
• Product or collection-level adjustments.

Build a Campaign

1. Define campaign goal, audience, and dates.
2. Set commission model (percentage, fixed, or tiered).
3. Configure attribution window and precedence behavior.
4. Add limits such as per-order or total campaign caps.

Policy Decisions to Document

• Pre-discount or post-discount commission basis.
• Refund and chargeback adjustment behavior.
• Link and coupon attribution precedence.
• Overlap handling when multiple campaign rules match.

Margin Protection Controls

• Commission caps by order value.
• Product exclusions for low-margin items.
• Time-bound promotional rates.
• Budget-based automatic throttling.

Quality Assurance Before Launch

1. Run a sandbox test order for each rule type.
2. Validate expected commission math.
3. Confirm reports show campaign-level breakdown.
4. Share campaign terms with participating affiliates.
