# Step 2: Contracting & Commissions

impact.com offers many ways to fine-tune how you pay partners based on different data points and variables (e.g., SKU, promo code, cart size, or customer status). These dynamic commissions are a great way to incentivize partners further to help you reach your program goals by rewarding specific behavior.

You can use [payout groups](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/48001235907) to offer different payouts. You can also offer [performance bonuses](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/155000000278) to partners that drive the most value to your program and use [template terms](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/48001238133-create-template-terms) to set up ideal contracts.
