Editing a publisher’s commission group

A commission group (called Affiliate group in the app) gathers several publishers to whom you apply the same commission rules. Moving a publisher to another group instantly applies that group’s rates and rules, without reconfiguring the commission one by one.

Prerequisites: you must be an advertiser, have an accepted partnership with the publisher, and have at least one other group already created under Commissions groups.

Move a publisher to another group

You change the group from your affiliates list, inside the relevant program.

Configuration
After opening your program from “Manage programs”, its menu gives access to “My affiliates”.
  1. In the left menu, open Manage programs, then select the relevant program.
  2. Open the My affiliates tab: the list of all your partnerships appears.
  3. Find the publisher to move. The Group column shows their current group.
  4. In the Actions column, click the edit icon (pencil) on their row.
  5. In the Global settings panel, open the Affiliate group list and pick the new group.
  6. Save. The new group rate applies right away to the publisher’s future conversions.

A partnership’s “Global settings” panel: the “Affiliate group” list changes the group.
Be careful! If you had set custom rates for this publisher, the message “You are about to delete your defined customs rules by changing the affiliate group. Do you want to continue?” appears. Confirming clears those custom rates in favor of the new group’s rates.

Move several publishers at once

To reassign a batch of publishers, use the bulk actions in the My affiliates list.

  1. Tick the publishers you want to move in the list.
  2. An action bar appears: “Use bulk actions to change the group or status of selected partnerships.”
  3. Click Change group, pick the destination group, then confirm.
  4. The message “The group of the selected partnerships has been successfully changed” confirms the operation.

Why move a publisher to another group

  • Reward your best partners by placing them in a higher-rate group.
  • Apply a shared rate to several publishers without configuring them one by one.
  • Segment your affiliates (influencers, cashback sites, comparison sites) with rules suited to each profile.
  • Save time: a change to the group cascades to all of its members.

Best practices

  • Create the destination group first and check its rules before moving any publisher into it.
  • Let the publisher know if their rate changes, especially a decrease, to protect the relationship.
  • Keep custom rates for truly special cases: a well-designed group covers most needs.
Tip: to raise top performers’ commission automatically without moving them by hand, use an automatic pay rise applied to a group.

Use cases

  • An influencer takes off: they drive many sales, so you move them from the “Default group” to a better-paid “Top partners” group.
  • Seasonal campaign: before the sales, you gather your key publishers in a boosted-rate group, then move them back afterward.
  • New partner type: you create a “Cashback” group with a dedicated rate and move all cashback sites into it.

questions

No. The new rate applies to future conversions, not to commissions already recorded.

The publisher has custom rates that override the group. Changing the group clears them: confirm only if that is intended.

No, groups are created and configured under Commissions groups. Here you only assign the publisher to an existing group.
