Setting up commission plans - and when they’re needed

What are commission plans?

Commission plans refer to the deal/s you have in place with the operator/advertiser for that specific affiliate account. At Routy we recommend setting up your plans for all your accounts, however you should note that some softwares provide revenues by default at a tracker and parameter level (e.g. Income Access), while others such as BetMGM Partners and NetRefer, do not.

How do I set up a commission plan?

On Routy, you can set up multiple deals in the Account page. In addition to the deal itself, you will be prompted for the currency, country (you can select ALL if it’s not country specific), brand and the start date.

If your deal changes, you can simply add a new deal with a new start date, and Routy will recognize this and use the new deal from the new start date.

It’s important to note that you can set a different deal for different links and marketing sources. When creating or editing a link, you will have a drop down option to select the relevant commission plan for that link.

Similarly, to set a deal per marketing source, you will need to select the marketing source from the Tracking Profiles section and press the Edit button on the left. Here you can select the relevant Commission Plan.
