Is affiliate commission calculated on final discounted price?

[guest_user]

I just looked at my "affiliate" list and the price shown is the regular price not the discounted price. Are affilates paid off of Regular, have I missed something while setting it up, or do I need to adjust their affiliate percentage to reflect the discounted price I'm selling the product for?

The affiliate commission is calculated on final discounted price. Once you have a sale, the price shown to affiliates will change to your last sale price rather than the price you have configured in the admin.

Is the shipping fee included in the affiliate commission? Here are some examples to help clarify:



Product cost: $20

Shipping: $10

Total: $30



If the commission is set at 10%, would the affiliate get $2.00?



Product cost: $20

Discount: $5

Shipping: $10

Total: $25



If the commission is set at 10%, would the affiliate get $1.50?



Thanks,

Affiliate commissions are calculated based on the pre-tax/shipping Item Total after all discounts have been applied but minus the price of any items in the order which have a product-specific share percentage set (for which commission is calculated separately).



E.g., suppose an affiliate-referred buyer orders Products A, B and C with a $2-off coupon code while you have a 20% common affiliate share and a product-specific 10% share for Product C, which also has its own $1-off item-specific discount:



+$3.00 Item A

+$5.00 Item B

+$7.00 Item C ($8.00 reg. price - $1.00 item-specific discount)

============

=$15.00 Item SubTotal

- $2.00 Cart Discount

============

=$13.00 Item Total

+$1.00 Tax

+$2.00 Shipping

============

=$16.00 Order Total



The affiliate would earn $1.20 (@20%) for the combined total of Item A and B minus the cart discount, plus $0.70 (@10%) for Item C, making a total $1.90 commission earned.
