Commission terms
Design
Here you set the texts customers and affiliates see for this offer. You can write them in any language. If you leave a field empty, the English text is shown.
The commission line shows:
- in the widget, in the affiliate section and on the affiliate's Financials page;
- on the rewards page, in the Affiliates section;
- in the Approved Affiliate email, through the `{offer-commission}` tag;
- on the affiliate registration page, through the `{offer-commission}` tag (the registration page uses your default offer).
You can use 2 tags:
- `{commission}` shows the commission with English wording, for example "15% of sale", "$5 per order" or "5%-10% based on total sales". This is the default.
- `{commission-value}` shows only the amount, for example "15%", "âŹ5" or "5%-10%". Use it to write the text in your own language, for example `{commission-value} des ventes` shows "15% des ventes".
Customer Reward Text (only for offers with the coupon code trigger)
What the affiliate's friends get, shown in the widget's affiliate section. `{coupon-value}` shows the coupon amount in your store's currency, for example "âŹ12" or "10%". Empty shows "{coupon-value} off coupon", for example "âŹ12 off coupon".
Offer Type Text
Replaces `{offer-type}` in the Approved Affiliate email and on the affiliate registration page. Empty shows the commission type in English: "Percent of Sales", "Flat Rate per order" or "Tiered".
