# Commission Structure and Payment

### Commission

Our commission structure is as follows:

<table><thead><tr><th width="198">Product</th><th width="142">PancakeSwap V2</th><th width="140">PancakeSwap V3</th><th width="146">PancakeSwap Stableswap</th><th>PancakeSwap Perpetuals</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Commission Rate (Based on trading fees)</td><td>3%*</td><td>3%*</td><td>3%*</td><td>20%**</td></tr><tr><td>Profit Sharing with users (Customizable)</td><td>Up to 100%</td><td>Up to 100%</td><td>Up to 100%</td><td>Users get 20% of commissions fixed<strong>***</strong></td></tr></tbody></table>

**\*** To be eligible for commissions, the swap trades must have a token pair that:

* Is in the **“PancakeSwap Extended”** [**official token list**](https://tokenlists.org/token-list?url=https://tokens.pancakeswap.finance/pancakeswap-extended.json); and
* includes at least **1 major token** (i.e., BNB, BTC, BUSD, ETH, USDT and/or USDC)
* Limited to swap trades on **BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum chain only**

**Perpetuals are prohibited from certain jurisdictions.** Please ensure you are eligible to trade derivatives on this platform.

Trading fees on perpetual trades (or any Referral’s position which may incur liquidation fees) do not include any liquidation fees for liquidating your Referrals’ position. Limited to perpetual trades on **BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum chain only.**

### Payment

Payment will be paid out to affiliates whose users have accumulated qualified transactions based on the above structure. After each on-chain transaction, we'll calculate your commissions in USD and convert them to CAKE tokens at the time of distribution. We do this by determining the USD value of trades and then converting your commission into CAKE tokens based on the current CAKE token price when paying out. More details can be found on the [Program Rules & Guidelines page](/archive/archived-affiliate-program/program-rules-and-guidelines.md).

You can keep an eye on your earnings from the [Dashboards page](https://pancakeswap.finance/affiliates-program/dashboard) (coming soon!) You’ll also be able to redeem your commissions once a month on the same page. A guide will be posted here on the redemption process.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/archive/archived-affiliate-program/commission-structure-and-payment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
