# Rule-Based Commission
Rule-Based Commission is an affiliate program offers advanced configuration settings where you will find more sophisticated setup options. It is a per-line item choice commission type and it does not apply to the order total.
Store owners who want to implement diverse affiliate strategies can take advantage of the extensive configuration options provided by the rule-based affiliate program.
Additionally, Wprelay provides options to set affiliate commission rates based on product / category.
