How to Set Up Commission Tiers

A guide to setting up Commission Tiers in SATHI, letting you offer different payout rates to different groups of ambassadors within the same campaign, including advanced options for returning customers and product-specific commissions.

Chris ·July 22, 2026

Commission Tiers let you offer different payout rates to different groups of ambassadors within the same campaign. You might start everyone on a base rate and move top performers to a higher tier, or set up product-specific commissions for a new launch. Each campaign can have multiple tiers, with one set as the default for new ambassadors.

Getting There

  1. Go to Campaigns in the left sidebar, select your campaign, and click Customize in the top-right corner

  2. On the General tab, scroll down to the Commission Tiers section and click + New Tier

Creating a Commission Tier

The Create Commission Tier modal has three main sections:

1. Tier Name: Give the tier a clear, descriptive name so you can tell them apart at a glance (e.g. "Elite," "Standard," "New Ambassadors").

2. Commission Value: Enter the payout amount and choose the format from the dropdown:

  • %: A percentage of the order value (e.g. 10%)

  • $: A flat amount per order (e.g. $15)

3. Landing Page: Enter the URL you want ambassador traffic from this tier to land on. This can be your homepage, a specific product page, or a collection, whatever makes the most sense for this group.

Advanced Options

1. Lower Commission for Returning Customers

Toggle this on if you want to pay a different (lower) rate when an ambassador drives a repeat purchase rather than a new customer order. Once enabled, a separate Commission Value for Returning Customers field appears where you set that rate. This is useful if your strategy is to reward new customer acquisition more than repeat sales.

2. Shorten URL

Toggle this on to give ambassadors in this tier a clean, readable link instead of a long URL. You can personalize the link format using dynamic variables like {firstname} or {username}, and a live preview shows exactly what the link will look like before you save.

See the Help Center article on how to shorten links for more detail.

3. Apply Commission For

Choose which products this tier's commission applies to:

  • All Products: Commission is earned on any order

  • Specific Products: Commission only applies to selected products or collections

Once everything is set, click Create to save the tier.

Managing Your Tiers

All your tiers are listed in the Commission Tiers table under a Campaign. From there you can:

  • Make Primary: Set a tier as the default for new ambassadors joining the campaign

  • Edit: Update any tier settings at any time using the pencil icon

  • Delete: Remove a tier permanently using the trash icon

Only one tier can be Primary at a time. When you promote a new tier to Primary, ambassadors who haven't been manually assigned to a specific tier will default to it going forward.

Why This Is Important

A single flat commission rate treats every ambassador the same, whether they're just starting out or driving significant revenue.

Commission Tiers let you match payout to performance and product strategy at the same time, so top performers are rewarded appropriately without needing to build separate campaigns for every rate structure you want to run.
