The coffee machine review that eats your margin.

Because your margin is not the same everywhere. On accessories there is often 50 percent, on devices sometimes 8. A uniform rate of 10 percent is generous on the accessory and a loss-making deal on the device. That is why rates can additionally be stored on the product, the category and the dynamic product group.

In four places: on the individual customer, on the product, on a category and on a dynamic product group. A single switch releases all four together, and it is off out of the box. On top of that comes the rate on the partner itself and a separate rate for follow-up orders.

You decide that with a setting: the first match in a fixed order, the highest or the lowest rate. Whoever wants to protect their margin takes the lowest. Whoever does not want to upset partners takes the highest. The first match is the most predictable variant, because the order is fixed.

Yes. A rate you attach to a product, a category or a product group applies to every partner equally. Only the rate on the partner and the rate on the customer are individual. That way you protect a thin margin shop-wide without maintaining it separately for every partner.

A Shopware product group that fills itself by your rules, all products of one manufacturer for instance, or everything under a certain price. Attach a commission rate to it and the rate follows automatically: new products that fit the rule get the rate without you doing anything.

Yes. Every commission carries the log of its calculation, visible on the order in the administration. It shows which rate applied and why. That answers any question a partner asks without you having to guess.

No. The percentage rate calculates on the net goods value excluding shipping costs. With absolute rates shipping is irrelevant anyway. Foreign currencies are converted into your default currency.
