If you’re compensating influencers through commissions, you can easily manage this in Upfluence. Affiliate commissions can be based on:
A percentage of sales they generate
A fixed amount per sale
This setup lets you track performance and automate commission management through your connected e-commerce integration.

1. How to set affiliate commissions
You can define affiliate commissions in two places:
Option 1: In campaign settings
Go to Campaign Settings > Compensation > Default affiliate commission, then enter your default commission rate.
Note: This option becomes available only after you've linked a tracking plan to the campaign.
If you're using Marketplace and leave this blank, the commission box won’t appear on the influencer’s application page — so they won’t know a commission is being offered, which could lead to fewer applicants.
Option 2: At Campaign table view
You can edit commissions individually or in bulk.
To set for one influencer:
Go to your campaign and click the influencer’s profile.
At the top, under 📣 Information, find the Affiliate Commissions section.
Choose the commission type:
Percentage of each sale
Fixed amount per sale
Enter the agreed payout value.
Click Save. The updated amount will appear in the Commission column.
To set for multiple influencers:
Select multiple influencers or click Select all.
Click the "Set offer" dropdown.
Choose Affiliate commission.
Fill in your commission details.
Click Set your offer.
2. How to check and manage commissions
You can monitor and manage commission offers in these places:
Campaign App Dashboard: Check the "Commission" column.
Performance Tab: Go to the Orders section and check the "Commission" column.
Influencer Profile: Click on the influencer's profile and open their side panel under the "Affiliate Commissions" section.
