Definition
A commission cap limits how much an affiliate can earn from a customer, plan, period or program. Caps can be monetary, time-based or tied to a fixed number of subscription payments.
B2B SaaS context
Caps help SaaS teams protect unit economics when a high-value account expands significantly after the original referral. They also make financial exposure easier to forecast.
Operator note
State whether caps apply per customer, per affiliate, per month or per program, and make cap progress visible in payout calculations.
