With the commission changes icon, you can add special changes to an offer's commission. The Default Commission is listen at the bottom of the table, and all changes appear above the Default Commission, taking precedence from top to bottom. To add a new commission change, click the Add Change link in the actions column or the Add Commission Change button on the left sidebar.

With the buttons in the actions column, you can shift the order of your changes, edit a change, or delete a change.

Adding a Commission Change =

First, you will need to fill in the Username or Login ID of the Affiliate account(s) you wish to set up a commission change for. If this field is blank, set to Default, or set to ALL, the Commission Change will be applied to all affiliates. Then, choose the Country(s) you want the change to effect. To select more than one country, click a country while holding the Ctrl key. For faster selecting, you can click while holding the Shift key, which will select all countries between your newly clicked country and your previously clicked country. Lastly, select a Change Type:

• Standard Change - This is used for any normal change.
• Disable Commission - This is used to turn off the commission for these settings.
• Temporary Change - This is used to set up a temporary commission change, based on a time period.
