With impact.com, each [event type](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/event-types/event-types-explained.md) in your program can use any of our 3 available credit policies:

| Event Type                                                                                                                                   | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Do not edit your crediting logic on your own:** Changing a credit policy means you'll need to update an event type, which should only be done by an impact.com agent. Talk with your CSM (or [contact support](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true\&accountType=PARTNER)) about making any credit policy changes.
