Multi-tier commissions are a common structure in affiliate marketing programmes, giving affiliates the chance to earn commissions not just on their own sales, but also on sales made by their sub-affiliates. You can set fixed rates for each tier or use percentages based on the total sale value, keeping things fair for affiliates without eating into your margins. The CRM supports up to seven tiers, so parent affiliates can earn from the sales of their entire network. This encourages affiliates to grow their networks, broaden their reach, and earn passive income through their sub-affiliates' efforts.
To set up multi-tier commissions for your affiliate campaigns, open an existing campaign or create a new one by clicking the "Add" button from the Affiliate Campaign view.
