How to Set Custom Affiliate Commissions in Sparkforge
Sparkforge's affiliate-level commission settings let you override campaign defaults for individual affiliates — useful for paying top performers more without rewriting the whole campaign. Affiliate-level rates always take precedence.
Sometimes a campaign-level commission rate doesn't fit every affiliate. Maybe one affiliate moves 10x the volume of the rest, or you negotiated a special deal with a partner. Sparkforge's Affiliate-Level Commission Settings let you override the campaign rate for specific affiliates without touching the rest of the program.
What you can do
- Set custom commission rates per affiliate, overriding the campaign default.
- Manage tiered commissions for multi-tier campaigns at the affiliate level.
- Reward top performers with higher rates without affecting other affiliates.
Example
Your campaign default is 40%. One affiliate consistently drives high-value sales, so you bump them to 50% — without changing what every other affiliate earns.
Steps to configure
Step 1: Open the Sub Account Affiliate Manager
Log into Sparkforge and go to Affiliate Manager.
Step 2: Select the affiliate
Find the affiliate you want to customize and open their profile page.
Step 3: Choose the campaign
Scroll to Active Referral Links and click Customize next to the campaign you're adjusting.
Step 4: Configure the commission
- Switch to the Commissions tab.
- Enter the custom commission rate.
- For multi-tier campaigns, set the rate for each tier.
- Adjust both Default Commissions and Product-Based Commissions as needed.
- Save.
Important notes
- Precedence — affiliate-level settings always override campaign-level settings during commission calculation.
- Tier management — tiers themselves can't be edited from the affiliate profile. To change tier structure, edit the campaign.
- Source requirement — currently supported only for affiliate campaigns where the source is a Sparkforge funnel or website.
