Default commission Rules

ℹ️ Commission Meanings

Commission is the reward paid to affiliates when they successfully refer customers to your store.

The commission amount depends on:

  • The commission type you choose

  • The order value

  • Which order components are included (discount, shipping, tax)

Commission is calculated from the order total, based on your selected settings:

  • Product value (always included)

  • Discount (optional)

  • Shipping fee (optional)

  • Taxes (optional)

In Jaka app, this is the main commission rule used for all affiliate orders, unless you add advanced or product-specific rules.

You need to configure three things:

  • Commission type

  • Commission amount

  • Cookie duration

ℹ️ Commission Types

Jaka supports three commission types. Choose the one that fits your business model.

Percent of Sale

The affiliate earns a percentage of the order value.

  • Commission is calculated based on the product total

  • Shipping, tax, and extra fees are excluded by default

Example

  • Order value: $100

  • Commission rate: 15%

  • Affiliate earns: $15

✅ Best for most stores ✅ Scales automatically with order value

Flat Amount (Per Order)

The affiliate earns a fixed amount for each order, no matter the order size.

Example

  • Flat commission: $5

  • Order value: $50 or $200

  • Affiliate earns: $5

✅ Simple and predictable ✅ Good for fixed-margin products

Flat Rate per Item

The affiliate earns a fixed amount for each product item sold.

Example

  • Flat rate per item: $3

  • Quantity purchased: 4 items

  • Affiliate earns: $12

✅ Ideal for bulk or multi-quantity purchases

⏱️ Cookie Duration

Cookie duration defines how long an affiliate referral is valid.

If a customer clicks an affiliate link, the affiliate will earn commission for purchases made within this time period.

Example

  • Cookie duration: 30 days

  • Customer purchases within 30 days → commission is earned

  • Purchases after 30 days → no commission (unless lifetime commission is enabled)

➕ Include Discount, Shipping, and Taxes

These options control what is included in commission calculation.

  • Include discount → commission is calculated after discount

  • Include shipping → shipping cost is included

  • Include taxes → tax amount is included

You can enable or disable each option based on your preference.
