Yes, Rootabl allows you to set up multiple commission levels for different affiliates! You can customize commission rates to fit your affiliate strategy by creating separate campaigns for each commission level. This is helpful if you want to offer higher commissions to key influencers or partners, or provide unique incentives for specific groups of affiliates.
Understanding Rootabl's Commission Filter System
The way commissions are setup in Rootabl uses filters to match products, prices, and commission levels.
On the front end (what you're seeing), that looks like choosing a commission $ or % for a particular or product. In some cases, you may offer a straight commission across all your products. That's the easiest setup, but Rootabl has many more filters we can utilize based on your needs.
The short answer is, it's complicated on the backend, and we want to make this as easy for you as possible. To change your commission levels or setup a more complex affiliate program, contact Rootabl support, and we're happy to get that handled for you.
How to Offer Different Commission Levels in Rootabl
To set up varied commission rates, follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a New Campaign
In Rootabl, go to your Campaign Dashboard.
Click New Campaign to start a separate campaign with a different commission rate.
Name the campaign and complete the standard setup steps (e.g., adding promo links, description, and tracking settings).
Step 2: Define Your Commission Level
In the Commission Settings section, set the desired commission rate for this campaign.
This rate will apply to all affiliates who join this specific campaign.
Step 3: Invite Affiliates to the Appropriate Campaign
Each campaign has a unique link that affiliates will use to join.
Share the campaign link for each group according to the commission level you want them to receive. For example, offer a 20% commission link to general affiliates and a 30% commission link to high-profile partners.
Affiliates will only see the commission rate for the campaign they’re part of, ensuring clear expectations.
Managing Multiple Commission Levels
By setting up separate campaigns for each commission rate, you can:
Offer tailored incentives to affiliates with larger followings or high-impact audiences.
Easily track campaign performance across different affiliate groups in Rootabl’s dashboard.
Adjust commission rates over time by editing campaign settings or creating new campaigns.
