A sub-affiliate is simply an affiliate that has been referred to the affiliate program by another parent affiliate, also called Master affiliate. The Master affiliate can promote the affiliate program and ask other affiliates to join using special tracking links. If the affiliate decides to join, the referring affiliate will be awarded an extra commission.
A parent affiliate can have many sub-affiliates. In turn, these children affiliates can refer to their own affiliates, and hence a hierarchy can be derived as per example:
In the above example :
User 60 :
User60 is the parent affiliate (master affiliate)User38 is the sub-affiliate of User60 in Tier 1 (level 1)User1 and User2 are both sub-affiliates of User38 and the sub-sub-affiliate of user 60 in Tier 2 (level 2)User5 is a sub-affiliate of User1 and a sub-sub-sub-affiliate of user 60 in Tier 3 (level 3)
User38:User38 is the parent affiliate (master affiliate)User1 and User2 are both sub-affiliates of User38 in Tier 1 (level 1)User5 is a sub-affiliate of User1 in Tier 2 (level 2)
In a nutshell :
1. Any affiliate can be a parent as long as the parent affiliate is subscribed to the Subaffiliate Channel
2. A parent affiliate earns commission for referring other affiliates.
3. A parent affiliate can earn commissions from multiple levels of child affiliates, receiving not only first-level commissions but also earnings from second- and third-level affiliate performance.
4. In addition, a master affiliate can also refer regular customers if subscribed to promote any customer Channel. This sets the parent affiliate as an extra affiliate, for which extra commission can be earned.
A working example of how sub-affiliation works can be found in the example below:
As per the above setup, the affiliates will be earning the below amount:
User60:
25% x $600 = $150 +
10% x $500 = $50 +
5% x ($200 + $700) = $45 +
3% x $300 = $9 +
2% x $0 = $0
Total Earnings = $254
User38:
25% x $500 = $125 +
Total Earnings = $179
User1:
25% x $200 = $50 +
4% x $300 = $12 +
Total Earnings = $62
User2:
25% x $700 = $175 +
4% x $0 = $0 +
Total Earnings = $175
User5:
25% x $300 = $75 +
4% x $0 = $0
Total Earnings = $75
