Multi-Level Commissions
Why Multi-Level
Growing an affiliate program is hard when only you can recruit. Multi-level commissions turn your existing affiliates into recruiters. They share a recruitment link, new affiliates sign up under them, and every sale in the chain earns commissions upward. Your program grows organically without extra effort from your team.
How It Works
Configure multi-level rates per group in Groups & Rewards. Two calculation modes:
- % of Commission: Parent earns a percentage of their sub-affiliate's commission. Commissions naturally decrease at each level.
- % of Sale: Parent earns a percentage of the original sale amount. Every level earns the same.
Real scenario: You set 10% on Level 1. Your affiliate Sarah recruits Tom. When Tom closes a $500 sale and earns $50 commission, Sarah automatically earns $5. No manual work, no spreadsheets.
What Affiliates See
Affiliates with multi-level enabled see a new Sub-Affiliates tab in their portal with:
- A recruitment link to share
- List of recruited sub-affiliates with their sales activity
- Multi-level earnings history and stats
Admin Controls
- Set rates per group with per-affiliate overrides for special partners
- Manually assign parent-child relationships from the admin dashboard
- Refunds automatically cascade — full refunds set ML earnings to refunded, partial refunds reduce them proportionally
