# 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.

***
