Direct answer

Commission is the possible payout when an eligible order is attributed to a creator’s product path. It is useful to compare, but it should not be the only reason to choose a product.

How creators should use commission

Commission is one product signal. It can help you compare products after the buyer problem, demo clarity, sample availability, product-card click reason, and claim risk are clear.

A high-commission product with a weak demo or risky claim angle can be harder to explain honestly than a simpler product with a clear proof moment.

What to check beside commission

Before choosing a product, ask whether the product solves a visible problem, whether you can show it clearly, and whether the product card gives the viewer a practical reason to click.

ShoppableLab treats commission as a planning input, not an earnings promise or outcome forecast.
