The tier system offers your affiliates the ability to recruit other affiliates from whom they can then in turn earn tier<\/strong>commissions from. So if for instance, Bob refers Jane, Bob would earn a tier<\/strong> commission each time Jane delivers earns a primary commission.<\/p>\n

Simple Two Tier Payout Structure<\/div>\n

A) Assume you have 1 tier enabled.
\nB) Assume you’re paying affiliates 20% commissions.
\nC) Assume you’re paying 10% of the primary commission amount on your tier.<\/p>\n

Let’s now assume Jane refers a customer and the order amount is $100.00.<\/p>\n

In this case, Jane earns a commission of $20.00 (20% of $100.00 – B above) and Bob will earn a tier commission as well for $2.00 (10% of $20.00 – C above). The total amount you will pay on this sale is $22.00 – that is the primary commission plus tier commission.<\/p>\n

iDevAffiliate gives you some options. You can enable up to 10 tiers and you can choose the tier commission type – percentage of commission, percentage of sale or flat rate.<\/p>\n

The above settings\/structure represent a very standard tier set up.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Only 1 Tier Enabled<\/li>\n
  • Paying a much smaller tier commission<\/li>\n
  • Paying off the primary commission amount vs. sale amount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Tier Linking Style<\/div>\n

    Your affiliates will login to their account and click on Tier Linking Code<\/strong>. This is where they get the code needed to recruit other affiliates. Your Tier Linking Style<\/em> setting will determine the link they are given.<\/p>\n

    Forced Linking<\/strong>
    \nThis will produce a tier specific, dedicated link that must be used when recruiting affiliates.<\/p>\n

    Embedded Linking<\/strong>
    \nThis will not product a link at all but rather give affiliates a notice stating that their normal marketing links will act as recruiting links as well. So if a regular marketing link is clicked on and that person happens to join your affiliate program, they will automatically be assigned the tier for the new account joining.<\/p>\n

    It’s really up to you which one you should use, We see Forced Linking<\/strong>used most often.<\/p>\n
