# Commission rate on order value

For any commission type (*percent of sale*, *flat rate per order,* or *flat rate per item*), you can either select the simple rule or the **advanced rule**. The **advanced rule** helps you set different commission rates/amounts based on different levels of order value.

To set up the advanced commission structure, go to **Programs** > Click the program's name > **Commission Structure.** You can also set it up when creating a new program (**Programs** > **Add new**).

For the rule, select **Advance (Commissions on order values)**.

From there, you can set a rate for the level 1 orders (orders with the value of $0 or higher).

Next, add more level(s) of commission rate by clicking **Add new level**. From there, you can set the *minimum order value* and *commission rate* for each level.

Kindly note that if you want to add more than 2 levels, you will need to upgrade to the Professional plan or higher.

For example, if you want to give your affiliates **15%** of sales for **$200-or-lower** orders, and **17%** of sales for referral orders of **$200 and higher**, you can set up the commission structure like this:

Don't forget to click **Save** (or **Add** if you're creating a new program) to finish setting up.
