A fixed dollar amount paid per completed action, such as a sale, lead, or signup, regardless of the order or transaction value. Flat-fee commission gives publishers predictable, consistent payouts and protects advertisers from paying an outsized percentage-based commission on unusually high-value customer orders.
A telco pays a flat 40 dollars for every new broadband signup a publisher refers, whether the customer chooses the cheapest plan or the most expensive one, rather than a percentage of the plan cost.
Flat-fee commission suits services or products with wide price variation but similar acquisition value, such as subscriptions, insurance, or lead generation. It keeps payout predictable for the advertiser regardless of which plan or tier the customer selects, avoiding the volatility a percentage rate can create on high-ticket orders.
