Adding an Individual Item Commission from the Item Editor

Merchants that have configured many affiliate groups in their affiliate management program may benefit from configuring new items into their affiliate commission groups directly from the item editor.

The primary benefit to using the configuration section in the item editor its that it allows you to quickly assign the proper group level commissions without needing to edit each commission group directly.

Example:

To remove an item from the excluded list simply click "delete". You will not be prompted with a warning.
