Per-product commission rates in the affiliate program
**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.

And added to this, forward unrecognised query params from the referral link to the destination URL. This would let affiliates carry their own UTMs through, which is a common request for campaign tracking.
