What it does
A standard affiliate program pays people only for the sales they refer directly. That works, but it gives affiliates little reason to bring other partners into your program. This add-on introduces a multi-level commission structure based on multi-level marketing principles. When an affiliate recruits someone new, they can earn a share of the commissions on that recruit's sales, and the chain can extend across several levels. It suits store owners who want their existing affiliates to help grow the partner network.
The add-on is built specifically for the AffiliateWP plugin and works inside its existing setup. You decide how many tiers to use, up to five, and set the commission for each level. Tiers can be added, removed or adjusted as your program changes. Affiliates recruit new partners through unique referral links, and their dashboard shows how their network is performing and what they have earned on each tier. Step-by-step guides are included to help you configure it.
Best for
- WordPress stores already running AffiliateWP
- Businesses building a multi-level marketing affiliate program

Questions about AffiliateWP Multi-Tier Commissions
Do I need AffiliateWP for this to work?
Yes. This is an add-on designed specifically for the AffiliateWP plugin. It extends AffiliateWP's affiliate program with multi-level commissions, so the core AffiliateWP plugin needs to be in place on your site.
How many commission levels can I set up?
You can configure up to five commission tiers. You choose how many levels to use and the commission for each, and you can add, remove or adjust tiers later as your program's needs change.
How do affiliates recruit sub-affiliates?
Affiliates use unique referral links to bring new partners into the program. Once a recruit joins through that link, the original affiliate can earn commissions on the sales that sub-affiliate generates, based on the tiers you have set.
