This feature lets you specify certain products or collections that should not generate affiliate commissions. It is beneficial for products with lower margins, promotional items, or any product you choose not to include in affiliate marketing strategies.
Go to the Program > Edit program (click on the program's name) > Commission calculation > Excluded products/collections.
By default, this applies to no product.
Choose to exclude products or collections, then select the product/collection. Finish by clicking Save on the Shopify header.
Excluded products will not be eligible for affiliate commission calculations and tracking. In particular:
Referral orders containing excluded products will not be tracked within the app.
Referral orders that include both excluded and regular products will be tracked and displayed in the app. However, commissions will not be calculated for the excluded products, as defined in the Commission explanation page when you review the referral. Here's an example:
For refunded orders:
If a refunded order contains both excluded and non-excluded products, the system will only record the referral for the non-excluded products.
If a refunded order consists solely of excluded products, the system will not record a refund referral for those products.
If a product is set for both Special product commission and Exclude products/collections from commission, the system will prioritize the former for commission calculation.
If a product is set for both Connect product and Exclude products/collections from commission, the system will prioritize the latter.
If you set up Commissions on order values for the program, sales from excluded products are not included in the total order value.
If you set up Auto-tier commission, excluded products will not be counted in its condition rules.
If you create a Bonus with a target of Total sales, sales from excluded products are not considered in the calculation.
In terms of Multi-level marketing, if the Network Commission is set to be calculated on 'Total sale', sales from excluded products from referrals made by downlines are not included in the upline's network commission.
Affiliates can view the list of excluded products/collections you've set up via their Dashboard > Program details > Excluded product list.
Additionally, these excluded items will not appear in the Get product link feature when they search for products, nor in the Product analytics table when filtering by 'All referred products by affiliates'.
