• Commission is capped by an order, in other words, a transaction or a cart
• Example: Commission can be capped according to a single order or transaction by your user
• Scenario: Your user made a purchase of 10 electronic items but due to there is a capping by order, your commission will only be paid for one single order.

2. Capping by product

• Commission is capped based on the value of the specific product purchased by your user
• Example: Lighting items have a capping of 8% but light bulbs has a specific cap which is 2%
• Scenario: A user purchased light bulbs at a value of USD 1,000 therefore the capping will be 2% which is specifically for the product and will not follow the category capping which is 8% for electronic items. Therefore your commission earned will be based on the 2% capping which is USD 20 and not based on the 8% capping which is USD 80
