Commission Breakdown on Orders

Updated September 15, 2026

This article is mirrored from couponaffiliates.com.

When you edit a WooCommerce order, the Coupon Affiliate box shows the commission for that order. Hover the commission amount to open Commission Breakdown. The tooltip explains the figure saved on the order. It does not run a second live recalculation.

What the breakdown shows

Earned by

  • Coupon — the coupon that earned the commission.
  • Attributed by — Lifetime commission, Referral URL / custom referrer, or Coupon used on this order.
  • Affiliate — the user assigned to that coupon.

If several coupons are on the order, only one earns the saved commission. The tooltip names that coupon, even if you hovered a different coupon row.

Rate

Each commission type (for example Rate: Percent) lists the levels that apply, marked Using or Overridden. This is the same idea as Commission Levels on the coupons list.

Order lines

  • Each product, with the amount the percentage was based on, then the commission for that line.
  • Adjustments such as Fees, Custom Discounts, Shipping, and Store Credit, when they affect commission.

Total

  • Percentage, Fixed per order, and Fixed per product, when they apply.
  • Capped at maximum, if a maximum commission setting limited the total.
  • Calculated vs Granted to affiliate when those two amounts differ. That is typical after a refund, or when unpaid commission has not been granted yet.

If the box is missing

Enable Show Affiliate Info widget on single order under Settings → Debug.
