How The 2-Tier Affiliate Program Works<\/h3>\n
In a typical “1-Tier” affiliate program, when a buyer makes a purchase, the affiliate who referred the buyer is the only one who gets paid an affiliate commission. Which is why it’s called “1-tier”, because there’s only one level of commissions paid.<\/p>\n
However, in a “2-tier” affiliate program, the “Affiliate’s Affiliate” (2nd level above) can also be paid a portion of the sale in commissions.<\/p>\n
So consider this this example…<\/p>\n
You are selling Product A<\/strong> that costs $100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You’ve set up your commission structure for Product A as follows:<\/p>\n Tier 1: 50% Per Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n Tier 2: 10% Per Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe Customer is referred by Charlie <\/strong>to your web site. Joe went on to purchase Product A for which commissions are set up above.<\/p>\n So Charlie (tier-1 affiliate) gets paid 50% of the sale <\/strong>– which is $50.<\/p>\n Now, normally a 1-tier affiliate program would stop there, and that would be the end of affiliate commissions for that purchase. But you have set up 2 tiers.<\/p>\n So now DAP looks at who referred Charlie, the affiliate. It finds that David originally referred Charlie to your web site (regardless of how Charlie got in to your membership site).<\/p>\n So now David (tier-2 affiliate) gets paid 10% of the sale – which is $10.<\/p>\n So for that one sale of $100, $50 was paid to Charlie, and $10 was paid to David, which totals $60.<\/p>\n So $40 is your earnings, as the site owner.<\/p>\n The 2-tier or “n” tier setup is the exact same as the 1-tier setup.<\/p>\n Only difference is, set up a new record on the “Affiliates > Set Commissions” page for each tier – one for Tier 1, one for Tier 2, and so on.<\/p>\n DAP supports (up to) a 2-tier affiliate program. So you could pay just one level (“tier”) of commissions (A gets paid when he refers B), or you could also set up DAP to pay 2 “tiers” of commissions (User 1 gets paid when he refers User 2 AND User 1 also gets paid something when […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15,58,9,55,26,73],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1152"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1152"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1152\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3265,"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1152\/revisions\/3265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/digitalaccesspass.com\/doc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How To Set It Up<\/h3>\n
