What is Commission percentage?

In short

A commission percentage is the share of each sale a program pays you, stated as a percentage rather than a flat fee.

This rate is the part of a sale paid to a publisher as a share of the order value, rather than a flat fee. Rates of this kind scale with the basket, so a larger sale pays more without any change in terms. 1win pays 50%, 1x Family pays 15% to 45% and 1-800 Contacts pays 1% to 14%, a band rather than a single figure. 1-800-Flowers Affiliate Program pays 6%, and 100% PURE Affiliate Program pays from 8%.
