Exclude products from commission

Layer a $0 Fixed incentive with a more specific Applies to so matching products earn no commission.

Exclude products from commission

Keep the group's default reward. Add a $0 Fixed incentive that targets only the products or plan types you want to skip. The more specific Applies to wins, so everything else still earns the default rate.

1

Open the group's incentives

Open Groups, click the group, then Incentives Setup.

2

Add Incentive

Click Add Incentive. Set Applies to to a more specific target than the group default — Specific products, Yearly plans, Monthly plans, or One-time products.

3

Set Fixed to $0

Choose Fixed as the incentive type. Set Commission Rate to 0.

Add Incentive with Fixed amount set to 0

Only Fixed can be 0. Percentage, Credits, and Months must be greater than 0. Save.

Matching sales resolve to a $0 commission. Other products in the group keep the default reward. $0 sales still show in reporting, so you can confirm the exclusion without hiding the sale.

Priority

When more than one incentive could match, the most specific Applies to wins:

  1. Specific products
  2. Yearly plans
  3. Monthly plans
  4. One-time products
  5. All plans and products

A $0 incentive at a higher specificity overrides the group default for matching sales only.

Exclude a plan type

Same flow, different Applies to:

  • All yearly plans — Fixed 0, Yearly plans
  • All monthly plans — Fixed 0, Monthly plans
  • One-time purchases — Fixed 0, One-time products

Exclude Polar metered overages

Polar usage and overage charges are separate products from the base plan. Use the same $0 Fixed setup: Applies to Specific products, and add those Polar meter/overage product IDs as Price or Plan ID. The base plan keeps the group default.

A group whose only incentive is $0 Fixed is tracking-only. Sales still show. Commission is $0.

Exclude for one affiliate

Open that affiliate. Under Custom Incentives, click Add Override and use the same $0 Fixed setup. The override takes precedence over the group's incentives. The rest of the group is unchanged.

Common issues

Cannot set the rate to 0

Cause: The incentive type is not Fixed.

Solution: Switch Incentive Type to Fixed, then enter 0.
