**Problem:**
Currently, the affiliate program applies a single commission rate across all products. This limits flexibility for merchants who want to incentivize affiliates differently based on product margins, pricing tiers, or strategic priorities.
**Proposed Solution:**
Allow merchants to configure affiliate commissions at the product level:
- **Product selection:** Choose which specific products are included in the affiliate program (rather than all-or-nothing)
- **Per-product commission rates:** Set a custom commission percentage or fixed amount for each selected product
- **Default fallback:** Keep a default commission rate for products without a specific override
**Use Cases:**
- Higher commission on high-margin products to drive affiliate focus
- Lower commission on already-popular products that sell themselves
- Exclude certain products (e.g., loss leaders, bundles) from affiliate payouts
- Run time-limited commission boosts on specific products
**Expected Outcome:**
Merchants get granular control over their affiliate economics, leading to better-optimized affiliate programs and more strategic product promotion.
