How to Add Sub-Affiliates in the Affiliate Manager

Sub-affiliates are affiliates who operate under a parent affiliate. They help promote products or services, and the parent affiliate earns a commission from their sales. This model allows affiliates to expand their reach and increase earnings.

Key Features:

  • Support for up to 7-tier affiliate campaigns.
  • Multi-tier campaigns (tier 2 or above) are required to add sub-affiliates.

Benefits of Sub-Affiliates​

Sub-affiliates create a layered commission structure. For instance, if Affiliate A refers Affiliate B, and B makes a sale, both A and B earn commissions. This encourages affiliates to build their teams and generate more leads.
