1. Create an opportunity.
    
    Some commissions depend on certain field values, such as the opportunity type or contract length. See [Opportunity Fields](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.opp_fields.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
    
    The Commission Estimator app opens in the opportunity's right panel.

2. Add products to the opportunity.
    1. In the Commission Estimator app, click **Products** and select **Add Products**.

    2. Select the product lines that apply to the opportunity, and then click **Next**.
    3. If necessary, edit the selected products, and make sure that each product has a quantity.
    4. Save your changes.

After you generate a commission estimate, editing the opportunity refreshes the estimate, so you can update the estimate for adjustments made to the opportunity during the sales cycle.
