What is a tiered affiliate program?
Our affiliate tracking software will create a hierarchy among your affiliates. By default, your account can accept affiliates AND sub-affiliates. A sub-affiliate is an affiliate that was referred by an existing affiliate. This is referred to as a two-tier affiliate program. This allows an admin to reward affiliates for getting new sign-ups, and allows the affiliate to earn commissions from his sub-affiliates’ sales. When you have an affiliate that signs up sub-affiliates, our affiliate tracking software uses his unique I.D. and creates a “parent” affiliate, with the sub-affiliate under him. Don’t worry if it sounds complicated. Our affiliate tracking software will do the work for you, and all you have to do is determine the criteria for your program. If you choose to use the 3rd tier, then your sub- affiliates can refer affiliates beneath them.
