Tips and limits

This page is an overview. Use the detailed settings pages when you need exact field-by-field guidance.
Change tier rules carefully because they affect partner access and expectations.
Review pricing and attribution together when you update commission logic or discount rules.
Enabling Partner Program does not place the public application button for you. Theme Editor placement is still required.
