I'm using the uc_marketplace module which allows admins to create a seller role. Sellers can create and edit their own product. Sales go to the store/admin who can mass pay the appropriate amount due to seller.

I want to add the affiliate program but see this problem: even with "adjust user commissions" turned off for the sellers, the set commission field shows up in when a seller edits his own product. This lets the sellers set affiliate commissions but the admin is left to administer them (and in the simplest scenario, pay them).

Either I need a way for a seller to admin/pay affiliate commissions on their own products (probably preferable but more difficult) or I need to turn off the commission field for the sellers. Otherwise, sellers could set affiliate commissions very high, and the admin would be responsible for them.

I'm assuming uc_marketplace tweaks the roles somehow to let sellers edit their own products, but I bet someone here knows a way to keep the affiliate commission field from showing up.

Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

Update:

I have commented out the part of uc_affiliate2_menu () which specifies the menu to adjust commissions by product.

If it doesn't cause problems elsewhere, I think this will solve my problem. uc_marketplace sellers shouldn't be able to tweak the commission schedule, and the admin can control the default levels, which should be adequate.

Don't know if you found the solution to this but if you go to store/configuration/sellers setting and check the box under "Automatically calculate commission", it will hide the commission in the product submission form.
