Different affiliate percentages per affiliate

[guestuser]

Can you set different affiliate percentages per affiliate? With the developer I would want to set an affiliate percentage of 50% but the average affiliate fee (all other affiliates) would likely be around 30%.



Also how would it work with separate affiliates? I would want to sell via as many websites as possible which would mean I need to be able to include the affiliate info for website X as well as the other devs affiliate code.

Yes, by default all affiliates will get the basic percentage you set. In E-junkie Seller Admin > Edit Affiliates, you can set individual affiliates to receive an extra percentage or flat fee.



Since we only provide one level of affiliates, this will not be possible. Sorry

To follow up with this:



I want to have a particular affiliate get 0% and the base percentage is 20% To achive this, would I put -20 in the "extra percentage" field?

That would not work, as you can only grant an extra percentage on top of the base percentage, and those both get calculated separately.



I.e., the share percentage you specify in Affiliate Program Settings should be the lowest percentage any affiliate can earn, and then you can boost that on a individual affiliate basis.



If you want to exclude any affiliate from earning anything, you can just delete them from your program (using the Delete button in Seller Admin > View/Edit Affiliates), which also bans their E-junkie account from rejoining your program in the future.

Actually, it does work.



Plus, there are two problems with the way you suggest. First, this means that on the affiliate sign-up page, the lowest affiliate percentage is shown. This in turn means that I would have to adjust each affiliates percentage manually. Since ejunkie does not advise me when a new affiliate signs up, this would mean I would have to check for new affiliates, manually, every day. Not.



Second, the whole point of this exercise is to track a particular ad, which I have tied to a particular affiliate since there is no built-in way to do this in ejunkie. So banning the account defeats the entire purpose.



Thanks for the feedback, but the negative percentage is workin just fine.

If negative percentages work, that's just a happy accident; we didn't design it to work that way, but I reckon we never expected anyone would enter a negative extra percentage! What's really happening is that the normal percentage is being calculated, then the extra percentage is being calculated separately, then those two commission amounts are added together. In your case, the extra commission winds up as a negative amount, which gets added to the standard commission resulting in a zero-sum.
