• Commission Rate (%) — The default commission percentage applied to all affiliates. Per-affiliate rates (set when adding or editing an affiliate) override this value. Leave blank to use the platform-level default rate.
• Cookie Duration (days) — How long the tracking cookie persists after an affiliate link click. Any purchase made within this window is attributed to the referring affiliate. Default: 30 days.
• Affiliate Registration — Toggle Allow public self-registration to enable the public signup page at /affiliate/join. New self-registered affiliates receive Pending status until approved by an administrator.
• Auto-Approval Rules — Optionally automate commission approvals:

  • Approve after (days) — Days to wait before auto-approving a pending conversion. Set to 0 for immediate approval on receiving the order.
