# How to give commission to author of post

By default, the plugin adds the User ID to the tracking link. This allows admins to see which user made a purchase and pay them cashback.

However, this is not the only way to use Cashback Tracker. In some cases, you may want to give commission to the post author instead of the buyer. For example, this is useful for multi-author sites where each author has access to admin pages and uses Content Egg, Affiliate Egg, or Cashback Tracker shortcodes. You can enable the option to assign the Author ID to each link, then track which author generates the best performance and pay them commission from your affiliate sales.

Go to `Cashback Tracker` → `General Settings` and check the `"Author ID"` option.
