Affiliate Platform Without Commission Override Fees 

<p style="font-size:22px;line-height:1.6;max-width:900px;margin:0 auto 25px auto;">
  Traditional affiliate networks often charge an additional commission override fee on top of affiliate commissions, meaning costs can increase as programme performance grows.
</p>

<p style="font-size:20px;line-height:1.6;max-width:900px;margin:0 auto 45px auto;">
  RivieraTech Affiliates uses a flat monthly subscription model instead, helping brands keep costs predictable while combining affiliate tracking, commission management and product data sharing in one platform.

What Is A Commission Override Fee?

<p>
  A commission override fee is an additional charge paid to an affiliate platform or network on top of the commission paid to affiliates.
</p>

<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>

<ul>
  <li>Brand revenue through affiliates: £100,000</li>
  <li>Affiliate commission rate: 10%</li>
  <li>Affiliate commission paid: £10,000</li>
  <li>Network override fee: 30%</li>
  <li>Additional network cost: £3,000</li>
</ul>

<p>
  As affiliate programme performance grows, these additional costs can increase significantly.
