Commission Tier
TL;DR — A commission tier is a different rate applied based on a condition — such as product category, order value, or sales volume. Instead of one flat rate, an offer can pay different amounts depending on which tier a sale falls into. On Involve Asia, an offer’s commission structure — including any tiers — is shown on its offer page, so publishers know what to expect before promoting.
What Is a Commission Tier?
Rather than a single flat commission rate, some offers are structured in tiers — different rates that apply depending on a specific condition.
The most common type is category-based tiers, where different product categories earn different rates. An advertiser selling both electronics and groceries, for example, might offer a higher rate on electronics due to better margins and a lower rate on groceries.
Another type is volume-based tiers, where a publisher’s rate increases once they cross certain sales thresholds within a period. This rewards publishers who drive consistent, higher volumes of sales.
Whatever the structure, the principle is the same: not every sale is worth the same commission, and the tier determines which rate applies to a given conversion.
Commission Tiers on Involve Asia
Where an offer has a tiered commission structure, this is detailed on the offer’s page in the Advertiser Directory, alongside its overall CPS, CPL, or CPA model.
Publishers should check an offer’s full commission structure rather than assuming a single rate applies across all products or categories, especially for advertisers with a wide product range.
