Multi-tier commissions are a widely used structure in affiliate marketing programs, offering affiliates the opportunity to earn commissions not only on their sales but also on the sales generated by their sub-affiliates. This approach allows you to set fixed rates for each tier or establish percentages based on the total sale value, ensuring fair compensation for affiliates while maintaining profitability. Our platform supports up to seven tiers, empowering parent affiliates to earn from the sales of their entire network. This model incentivizes affiliates to expand their networks, enhance their reach, and generate passive income through the efforts of their sub-affiliates.
To set up Multi-Tier Commissions for your Affiliate Campaigns, open an existing campaign, or create a new campaign by clicking the “Add” button from the Affiliate Campaign view.
