Getting Started

1. Configure Commissions

1. Navigate to Affiliate Tiers
   Go to Settings -> Affiliate Tiers to configure your commission structure.
2. Fixed Amount or Percentage
   You can set commissions as a fixed amount (e.g., $5 per order) or a percentage of the order value (e.g., 10%).
3. Affiliate Tiers
   Create multiple tiers to assign different commission rates to different groups of affiliates. By default, all affiliates go into the “default” tier.
4. Product Segments
   Within a tier, you can set unique commission rates for specific products via product segments. By default, all products use the default segment rate.
5. Optional Descriptions
   Add tier and segment-specific descriptions that affiliates can see when they log in. This helps affiliates understand your commission structure and any special requirements.
