I understood it like you didn't want some products to generate affiliate fees, and thus, that you wanted to restrict the affiliate fees to only some specific categories. We'll be looking at adding an override for individual partners.

I selected xy category in the category restriction field. The partner sold the product (from that category), but no commission was calculated. Is this setting inclusive or exclusive?

So what you describe would indeed indicate a problem. Did the product had several categories in its "categories" setting ? Did the product had variants ? I've looked into it for a bit after your feedback, and I think I know what the problem is. There is a typo in the new code. Change the line: foreach($order->cart->order_products as $product) { to: foreach($order->cart->products as $product) { in the file plugins/system/hikashopaffiliate/hikashopaffiliate.php and try again. It should hopefully work fine then. We'll be including the patch on our end.

I've identified and fixed the bug causing the category restriction to not work. The commission calculation was failing because of a type mismatch when comparing product categories against the restricted categories, resulting in commissions always being zero when the feature was enabled. The fix is included in the latest build of HikaShop. Please download and install it from our website, then test the category restriction feature again. Both the global setting and the per-partner override should now work correctly. Sorry again for the wait, and thank you for your patience.
