Commission by Product

To obtain better metrics on new product launches and campaigns, or to encourage publishers to promote specific products, use Commission by Product. To change publisher commission based on the product that a consumer purchases, use commission by product ID, product name, or product category.

To configure product-based commission for flexible commission groups, from the Condition dropdown, select Product ID, Product Name or Product Category. In the values text field, provide a list of values to associate with the commission group. For more information, refer to Commission Flexibility.

For the Condition values text field, do one of the following:

• If you select Product ID, list the IDs of the products you want to associate with the commission group. For example, id1, id2, id3.

• If you select Product Name, list the names of the products you want to associate with the commission group. For example, foundation, perfume.

• If you select Product Category, list the categories of the products you want to associate with the commission group. For example, SportsWear, SportsEquipment.

Integrating on Product Level Tracking

The product ID, product name, and product category options are product-level tracking parameters. In order to pay commission based on these parameters, you must provide this information to Awin. If you want to use this functionality, ensure that you have integrated product level tracking for your account. For more information, refer to the Product Level Tracking wiki page.

Linking Product to Part

In order to obtain commission based on product ID, product name, or product category, each product in the consumer's basket must be associated to a part in the tracking call. To create a clear link, and to associate products to a part in the tracking call, match the commission group code value in the product-level tracking to a tracked part code in the main parts parameter. For example, if you pass CLOTHING and EQUIPMENT in parts, and products related to each one in product level tracking, then the commission group code value in the product-level tracking data must also say CLOTHING or EQUIPMENT.

In the following example, we will be able to match “Ski clothing” from products to CLOTHING in parts, and “Skis” and “Ski boots” from products to EQUIPMENT in parts, and it can be used for commissioning. However, you can see that Skiing gloves in products say ACCESSORIES in the commission group code value and doesn’t have a matching part, so it won’t be mapped to a commission group.

Sale amounts

Sale amounts of products need to match the sale amounts in parts they are associated to. This means that the sum of unit prices multiplied by the quantity of each product needs to match the amount in parts that these products belong to. As a formula, it would look like this:

Part sale amount = unit price * quantity

In the example of multiple products for EQUIPMENT, this would mean that amounts for Skis and Ski boots (80 + 20) need to match the amount in EQUIPMENT parts (100).

However, this may not always be the case. Whenever there are differences in the amounts, we’ll trust the amount in parts, and not in the product level tracking. So if the amount in products is greater than in parts, we will ignore the difference. If the amounts in products is less than in parts, we will create a transaction part for that amount and keep processing the difference and create a transaction part for the total amount.
