Commission Groups

Commission Groups are utilized to attribute the whole, or parts, of a given transaction to a specific commission rate. These rates may be percentage or fixed amounts. These groups are created and maintained within Commission Management in the Awin UI.

Platform Notice

Advertisers utilizing the “Access” platform offer can only configure two additional commission groups.

For reporting on Customer Acquisition information, please see the related article.

Single Group Tracking References

The below examples show single Commission Groups as they are called in Tracking.

Conversion Tag

AWIN.Tracking.Sale.parts = "{{commissionGroupCode}}:{{totalAmount}}";

Fall-back Conversion Pixel & Server-to-Server

&parts={{commissionGroupCode}}:{{totalAmount}}

Multiple Commission Groups

It is possible to split the transaction into parts which each are assigned separate Commission Groups. These other groups will first need to be configured in the Awin UI’s Commission Manager.

To make use of these groups, each Commission Group and its relevant amount must be called and separated by a pipe (“|”) character.

The sum of your groups must be equivalent to the subtotal reported in the amount parameter.

New & Returning Customers

Our tracking supports the identification and commissioning of new and returning customers as unique events.

This is possible by returning the related information on a transaction and creating groups for NEW and EXISTING customers in the Awin UI’s Commission Manager.

After you’ve created the related groups, you’ll then need to dynamically add the corresponding parameter in place of a commission group in your tracking.

customerType should be replaced by either NEW or EXISTING depending on the type of customer.
