Everything you need to know about commission structures
For SaaS, recurring commissions typically work best - usually 20-30% of the monthly subscription for the customer's lifetime or first 12-24 months. This incentivizes affiliates to refer high-quality customers who stick around.
Percentage commissions work well for variable pricing (multiple plans), while fixed amounts suit single-price products. Many successful programs offer hybrid models - like $50 per signup plus 15% recurring commissions.
Tiered structures reward top performers with higher rates as they hit sales thresholds. For example: 20% for 0-10 sales/month, 25% for 11-25 sales, 30% for 25+ sales. This motivates affiliates to scale their efforts.
SaaS: 15-30% recurring. E-commerce: 5-15% per sale. Digital products: 30-50% per sale. The key is ensuring your commission doesn't exceed your gross margin while remaining attractive to quality affiliates.
Set clear terms: cookie duration limits (30-90 days), no self-referrals, minimum payout thresholds, and clawback periods for refunds. Tools like LinkJolt include built-in fraud detection to flag suspicious activity.
Yes! Performance bonuses motivate affiliates. Consider: signup bonuses for new affiliates, volume bonuses (extra $X for hitting milestones), and seasonal promotions. Keep them achievable to maintain motivation.
