Tiered commissions – custom per affiliate

Hey @dnay76,

Thank you for reaching out! We currently don’t have this particular feature, so from the UI there’s no way of adding the functionality you’re looking for.

As for a code snippet, we don’t have this in our collection. Even so, I’d like to see if there’s an easy way to do this via a code snippet.

Please let me know which eCommerce plugin you’re using (WooCommerce, etc), and based on this I can check if something can be done.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai

Thank you for your quick response! Yes, we are using WooCommerce version 8.9.3

Let me know if there is any other information that you need.

Hey @dnay76,

Thank you for the confirmation! I’ve been able to put together a code snippet based on the code we already have in the plugin. Here it is:

function slicewp_custom_calculate_commissions_per_category_per_affiliate( $commission_amount, $amount, $args ) {
	
	// The ID of the affiliate that has custom rates per category.
	$affiliate_id = 21;
	
	// The category IDs separated by comma for digital and physical products.
	$product_categories_digital  = array( 123, 124 );
	$product_categories_physical = array( 125, 126 );
	
	// The commission rates for category types.
	$category_commission_rate_type_digital = 'percentage';
    $category_commission_rate_digital      = 20;
	
	$category_commission_rate_type_physical = 'percentage';
    $category_commission_rate_physical      = 20;
	
	// Check that the commission is from WooCommerce
    if ( $args['origin'] != 'woo' ) {
        return $commission_amount;
    }

    // Only sales and subscriptions are treated here
    if ( ! in_array( $args['type'], array( 'sale', 'subscription') ) ) {
        return $commission_amount;
    }

    // Check if the commission rate is per order
    if ( slicewp_is_commission_basis_per_order() ) {
        return $commission_amount;
    }
	
	if ( empty( $args['affiliate_id'] ) || $args['affiliate_id'] != $affiliate_id ) {
		return $commission_amount;
	}

    // Get the product
    $product_id = absint( $args['product_id'] );
    $product    = wc_get_product( $product_id );
	
	// Get the product categories
    $categories = get_the_terms( $product_id, 'product_cat' );
	
	if ( ! empty( $categories[0]->term_id ) ) {
		
		$category_commission_rate_type = '';
		$category_commission_rate 	   = '';
		
		// Get the product category commission type and rate
		if ( in_array( $categories[0]->term_id, $product_categories_digital ) ) {
			
			$category_commission_rate_type = $category_commission_rate_type_digital;
			$category_commission_rate 	   = $category_commission_rate_digital;
			
		}
		
		if ( in_array( $categories[0]->term_id, $product_categories_physical ) ) {
			
			$category_commission_rate_type = $category_commission_rate_type_physical;
			$category_commission_rate 	   = $category_commission_rate_physical;
			
		}

        // Check if the product category commission type and rate are ok
        if ( ! empty( $category_commission_rate_type ) && ! empty( $category_commission_rate ) && is_numeric( $category_commission_rate ) ) { 

            // Calculate the commission using the product type and rate
            $commission_amount = ( $category_commission_rate_type == 'percentage' ? round( ( $amount * $category_commission_rate / 100 ), 2 ) : $category_commission_rate );

            return $commission_amount;

        }

    }
	
	return $commission_amount;
	
}
add_filter( 'slicewp_calculate_commission_amount', 'slicewp_custom_calculate_commissions_per_category_per_affiliate', 20, 3 );

Please make sure to modify the $affiliate_id variable and set it to the ID of the affiliate you want to have custom rates per product category.

Then, set the $product_categories_digital and $product_categories_physical variables as the IDs of the product categories in each category type.

Lastly, set the $category_commission_rate_type_digital, $category_commission_rate_digital, $category_commission_rate_type_physical, $category_commission_rate_physical variables to the rates you wish to reward. The “rate_type” variables accept either “fixed_amount” or “percentage”. The other two accept positive integers. 1 to 100 for the “percentage” type, any other value for “fixed_amount”.

Please add the code to your website, give it a test and let me know how it goes.

Thank you and best wishes,

Mihai
