How it works
If you’re part of a supported sub-affiliate network, you’ll manage all commission settings in your affiliate network’s portal.
In the following 2-3 days after you set up the commission settings in your affiliate network’s portal, you should have the settings noted on the “Overview” page in the YouTube affiliate section in Google Merchant Center.
If you need to make any other changes to your settings, you will adjust the settings in your affiliate network’s portal.
Requirements
Sub-affiliate merchants should consult with their affiliate network regarding commission rate setup and management.
