4 Commission Rate Structures

Each profile sets source commission, target bonus, platform fee, minimum payout threshold, and attribution window. Pick the structure that matches your network growth stage.

🌱

Starter Commission

Low rates to attract initial partners

5% source, 2% target, 1% platform. Low barrier to entry for building your network. $10 minimum payout.

📈

Growth Commission

Balanced rates for scaling networks

8% source, 3% target, 2% platform. The sweet spot — attractive and profitable. 24h attribution window.

💎

Premium Commission

High rates for high-value partnerships

12% source, 5% target, 3% platform. 7-day attribution for delayed conversions. For high-ticket verticals.

🎯

Flat Fee Per Referral

Fixed dollar amount per sale

Fixed $2 per referral sale. Simpler accounting, predictable costs. Good for mixed-price catalogs.

Designing Commission Structures for Referral Networks

Commission rates are the primary incentive mechanism for cross-store referral networks. Set them too low and partner stores won't bother showing your products. Set them too high and the economics don't work for you. SellerZoom's commission profiles encode proven rate structures for different network growth stages.

The Starter profile uses low 5% source commissions — just enough to make it worth a partner's while to show your products, without eating significantly into your margins. As your network proves its value and you want to attract higher-quality partners, the Growth profile at 8% becomes more competitive.

Attribution Windows Matter

The Premium profile uses a 7-day attribution window, meaning a purchase made up to 7 days after a referral click is still credited to the referring store. This captures the reality of high-ticket purchases where customers often research for days before buying. For low-ticket impulse purchases, the Starter profile's session-based attribution is more appropriate.
