Product-Specific Commissions
To handle product specific commissions you
must:
- Define the individual products and
the commission amount and type
- Modify your sales tracking code to
pass the products that were purchased and the amount of
each product that was purchased
Defining Product-Specific Commissions
- Begin by choosing Affiliate
Types/Rates.
-
Next click the Add Product-Specific
Commission option

- Enter a product name/description.
- Enter the Product Code that matches
the unique product code or ID used in your shopping
cart.
- Choose a specific Affiliate Type or
individual Affiliate Type to apply this commission.
If you setup the same Product Code for "All Affiliate
Types" and a specific Affiliate Type, the specific
Affiliate Type always overrides the "All Affiliate
Types" option.
- Specify whether the commission will
be flat rate or a percent of the sale.
- Enter the applicable tiered rates.
For Percent of Sale enter as a decimal. For
example, 5% would be entered as .05.

Setting up the Sales Tracking Code to
pass the product-specific commissions
The tracking code is obtained by clicking
Tracking Code/Sales Tracking Code. The standard code
looks like this:
<img border="0" src="http://yourdomain/aw.aspx?Task=AddSale&Order_Number=12345
&Total_Amount=55.00&Country=USA&Optional1=&Optional2=&Optional3="
width="1" height="1">
To that code you must append each Product
Code and the amount paid for the product using &P1=X&PA1=Y
where P1 is the Product Code for the first item purchased
and PA1 is the product Amount. Here is an example with
multiple products:
Shopping Cart Item |
Product Code |
Product Amount |
Example |
1 |
Gold |
$1147.30 |
&P1=Gold&PA1=1147.30 |
2 |
Silver |
$18.07 |
&P2=Silver&PA2=18.07 |
3 |
Platinum |
$1731.00 |
&P3=Platinum&PA3=1731.00 |
Putting this example into the tracking
code your code would become:
<img border="0" src="http://yourdomain/aw.aspx?Task=AddSale&Order_Number=12345
&Total_Amount=55.00&Country=USA&Optional1=&Optional2=&Optional3=
&P1=Gold&PA1=1147.30&P2=Silver&PA2=18.07&P3=Platinum&PA3=1731.00"
