# Commission priority

Commission Priority defines which commission rule is applied when multiple rules could match the same order.

Jaka determines commission priority based on two layers, evaluated in order:

1. **Tracking method priority**
2. **Commission type priority**

Understanding this helps you avoid conflicts and predict exactly which commission is paid.

***

### 🧩 1. Tracking Method Priority&#x20;

When an order is placed, Jaka first checks how the order was tracked.\
The tracking method determines which affiliate and commission rule are considered first.

Priority order (top → lowest)

1. **Affiliate Coupon**
2. **Affiliate Link**

For example:

The order will be tracked by one of the method only. In case customers access products via an affiliate link of affiliate 1, but they add the discount code of affiliate 2 manually at checkout, the commission will be created for affiliate 2.

### 🧩 2. Commission types <a href="#id-2.-between-commission-types" id="id-2.-between-commission-types"></a>

In case many commission types are applied to the same referral at the same time, **only ONE** will be tracked in the app.&#x20;

After the tracking method is determined, Jaka selects which commission rule applies.

This happens when multiple commission rules exist. Commission Type Priority (Highest First):&#x20;

* **Product-specific commission** 🥇
* **Auto-tier commission**
* **Campaign default commission**

Prioritized 1: **Product specific commissions**: **Manually** products ->  **Automated** products&#x20;

Product-specific commission for Product A: **20%**

A customer buys Product A via an affiliate link.
