# Set Payout Rules For Exception Lists

Once a category, SKU, or promo code exception list is active, you can add it to template terms under the **Payout Groups** option.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Payout logic:** If a payout group's condition is met, it will apply the payout change at the same level (order or item) as the template term's default payout. For example, if your default payout applies a payout at the item level, specific items will have their payouts changed if they fall into the category entered in that payout group.

#### Set payout rules for exception lists

{% hint style="warning" %}
SKU and promo code exception lists are not available in every impact.com edition. For example, Product-Led Growth (PLG) edition accounts do not include the **SKU** or **Promo Code** option under *Exception Lists*. If you do not see either option, you may need to upgrade your account. [Contact support](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/support/customer-support-portal-flow.ihtml).
