Commish FAQ

What is Commish?
Commish helps software businesses run creator partnerships, with referral tracking, commission terms, earnings, and payouts in one place.
How do I get started?
Businesses can create an account and set up their business. Creators can create and privately review a profile, then find creator offers that fit their audience. Program activation and LIVE integration access have their own setup and approval requirements.
How does attribution work?
A creator’s signed referral link connects their recommendation to an eligible purchase. Your product records the payment outcome, and the program’s attribution policy determines the resulting creator earnings.
What does Commish handle?
Commish connects referrals to eligible purchases, calculates creator earnings under the offer’s terms, tracks adjustments, and coordinates payouts. Your business keeps its checkout and customer payments in its own product.
How do I find a creator offer?
Sign in to browse creator offers in Commish, review their terms, and apply. The business reviews each application. Example listings on this website illustrate how offers work; you cannot apply to them.
How do developers integrate?
Follow the developer documentation and OpenAPI contract. Validate with TEST credentials first; keep secret keys on your server. TEST setup does not grant LIVE approval.
What does Commish cost?
There is no monthly platform fee. Each attributed sale carries a platform fee from 10% down to 3% of the sale amount depending on your monthly volume, on top of the commission you set, with funding and payout processing included. A sale refunded inside its return window carries no fee.
When are earnings paid?
Recorded earnings are not yet a payout. Eligibility, adjustments, funding, and the creator’s payout setup determine when payment can proceed. Your account shows payout status and next steps.
Is my creator profile public?
When you claim your profile, your handle, bio, and audience topics become publicly discoverable so businesses can find you. Not ready to share? Choose “Keep my profile private for now” when you claim, then make it public from your profile settings whenever you’re ready. You can hide it again at any time.
