Understanding Commission Structures

Most affiliate programs offer either flat-rate commissions (e.g., $50 per sale) or percentage-based commissions (e.g., 10% of sale price). Many programs also include tiered structures where you earn more as you refer more customers.

Common commission types:

• Percentage: A percentage of the sale price (common in Amazon, fashion, electronics)
• Fixed: A set amount per sale (common in software, courses)
• Tiered: Increasing rates based on volume (e.g., 5% up to 50 sales, 7% after)
• Recurring: Ongoing commissions for subscription products
