How to Set Up Commission Plans

A commission plan determines how affiliates earn money when they refer customers. Setting up the right commission plan is essential to keeping affiliates motivated and ensuring profitability for your business. Push Lap Growth allows for flexible commission structures, including flat fees, percentage-based payouts, and advanced rules like multi-tiered commissions.

Accessing Commission Plans

1. Log in to your Push Lap Growth account.

2. Navigate to Campaign Settings → Commission Plans.

3. Click Create New Commission Plan or select an existing one to edit.

Note: The base commission plan is the default commission plan that comes from your affiliate program settings at the top of this page, you can’t delete it and you can’t add rules to it. However you can edit it by editing the default affiliate program settings at the top of the page

Choosing Your Commission Type

You can customize commission plans based on your business model. Here are the available options:

1. Flat Rate Commissions

• Affiliates earn a fixed amount per sale or referral (e.g., $10 per purchase or per sign up).

• Best for businesses selling fixed-price products or services.

• Example: "Get $5 for every new customer purchase or sign up."

2. Percentage-Based Commissions

• Affiliates earn a percentage of the total sale amount (e.g., 20% of each purchase).

• Great for businesses with varying product prices.

• Example: "Earn 15% on every sale generated through your affiliate link."

3. Recurring Commissions

• Affiliates earn commissions for multiple subscription payments (e.g., affiliates get 10% of monthly payments for the first 6 months or the first X payments).

• Ideal for SaaS or membership-based services.

• Example: "Earn 10% of every monthly payment for up to 12 months."

4. Tiered Commissions

• Affiliates unlock higher commission rates as they refer more customers or generate more revenue.

• A commission tier must be tied to a commission plan

• Example:

  • 10% commission for 1-10 referrals

  • 15% commission for 11-50 referrals

  • 20% commission for 51+ referrals

Setting Commission Rules

1. Define When Commissions Apply

   • When a customer makes a purchase.

   • When a customer signs up (for free trials, lead generation, etc.).

2. Select Products or Services That Qualify

   • Apply commissions to all products or specific ones.

   • Exclude certain products if needed.

3. Choose How Long Commissions Last

   • One-time payout for single purchases.

   • Recurring commissions (e.g., earn for the first 6 months of a subscription).

   • Commission after periods (for example, control if you want to drop the commission for a specific referral after a period).

Assigning Commission Plans

Each affiliate is automatically assigned to the default commission plan upon joining your program. However, you can change an affiliate’s commission plan by:

• Going to the affiliate’s page

• Enabling Exempt Affiliate from tier changes so you can manually set their commission plan

• Clicking the Change plan button

• Choose a new plan for the affiliate

Note: If an affiliate has referrals already and you change their commission plan, the new commission plan will only be applied to customers they refer in the future, it won’t apply to the already existing referrals, you would have to change it manually on the referral level.
