More information
Each commission type has at least the label and rate_types elements.
The label is a string representing the name of the commission’s type and it’s used for output purposes.
The rate_types is an array representing the type of rates a commission’s amount can be calculated by. The rate types can be either percentage or fixed_amount.
For example, a commission of type sale will most probably be tied to an order from your eCommerce integration (let’s say WooCommerce). Because the amount of the commission can have both a fixed amount, not correlated with the order’s value, and also a percentage based amount, calculated from the order’s value, the sale commission type has both the percentage and fixed_amount rate types.
On the other hand, a commission of type user_signup is not tied to an order, which has a value, but rather to an action, in this case a user signing up for a service. Because of this, the rate type can only be fixed_amount.
