FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Can I use this for creator affiliates too?

Yes. Any arrangement that pays a percentage of the sale plus an optional flat cost can be modeled here.

Why does the effective commission rate matter?

Because checkout fees, network fees, or flat admin costs can make the real take rate higher than the affiliate percentage alone.
