To add a new Affiliate Commission, create a new disabled commission in the [[Offerit_Commissions_Admin|Commissions Admin]] named Affiliate Referral (or something similar) and add a [[ct#Shortname|shortname]] (no spaces). Select ''Affiliate Referral Commission'' from the Commission Type drop-down menu and save.  
+
To create your Affiliate Commission, click the Affiliate Referrals" tab in the [[Offers Admin]]. You will be taken to the Affiliate Referral Edit page.
  
Next, scroll down to "Landing Pages In This Commission" and add your Affiliate Referral offer landing page from the "Add Offer Landing Pages" drop-down menu.

*'''Landing Page Description''' - A description for the landing page that your affiliates will see.

Once you have done this, go to the [[Offerit Offers Admin|Offers Admin]] page and create a new offer. Name the offer "Affiliate Referral" (or something similar), fill in the short name, and select Affiliate Referral for Offer Type. Click Save Changes. After the offer has been saved, add it to the affiliate referral commission by clicking the "Set Active Commissions" icon. This will be the only offer to be added to this commission.

*'''Days to Reach Minimum''' - Specifies the amount of time the refereed affiliate has to make the '''$Minimum'''. 
 +
*'''%Tier2''' - The flat rate received by the referring affiliate when the referred affiliate refers a new affiliate. For example: Affiliate Alice refers Affiliate Bob. Affiliate Bob then refers Affiliate Conrad; Affiliate Alice receives the '''%Tier2''' flat rate.

Once you have done this, you can set up tiered payments under the ''Referred Customer Commissions'' heading. For example: Affiliate Alice refers Affiliate Bob; Alice earns 10% of Bob's sales: This is the tier 1 commission. Affiliate Bob then refers Affiliate Conrad; Bob earns 10% of Conrad's sales and Alice earns 2% of Conrad's sales: This is the Tier 2 and 3 commissions. In other words, Bob is Alice's first tier, and Conrad is Bob's first tier and Alice's second tier. You can have up to eight tiers and you can pay a different percentage of your choosing for each tier.
  
Before you can use your newly created Affiliate Referral Commission, you will also have to set up an Affiliate Referral [[Ct#Offer|offer]] in [[Offerit]]. This allows you to create [[Ct#Landing Page|landing pages]], which allow you to promote your [[Ct#Commission|commission]].

Lastly, you can choose if you would like to mark the offer as hidden, meaning you would keep all affiliates from seeing their affiliate referral links. Once finished, click "Save Changes". You can edit all of this information at any time by clicking the "Manage Aff Ref Commissions" tab in the [[Offers Admin]].
  
To do this, go to the [[Offerit Offers Admin|Offers Admin]] and click the "Add a Offer" tab at the top of the page. On the next page, choose the Affiliate option in the "Offer Type" section.

The Affiliate Referral commission allows an affiliate to refer other affiliates, while receiving a percentage of their sales commission. Offerit allows you to further encourage referrals by setting up multiple tiers for Affiliate Referrals.

For example: Affiliate Alice signs up Affiliate Bob; Alice earns 10% of Bob's sales. Affiliate Bob signs up Affiliate Conrad; Bob earns 10% of Conrad's sales and Alice earns 2% of Conrad's sales. In this setup, Bob is Alice's first tier, and Conrad is Alice's second tier. You can have up to eight tiers and you can pay a different percentage of your choosing for each tier.

Creating your Affiliate Referral Offer

To create your Affiliate Commission, click the Affiliate Referrals" tab in the Offers Admin. You will be taken to the Affiliate Referral Edit page.

Affiliate Referral

  • Tracking Domain - The domain you would like to use for this offer's linkcodes.
  • Landing Page Description - A description for the landing page that your affiliates will see.
  • Private - check this box to make the offer private, meaning new affiliates will not be automatically allowed to use this landing page. By default, all affiliates can access your affiliate referral offer. With the Modify Enabled Affiliates link, you can edit the affiliates who can access the offer.

Next, you will need to set up the commission.

Setting the commission

  • $Flat - The Flat rate paid to an affiliate who makes a referral.
  • $Minimum - The minimum amount of money the referred affiliate would have to make before the referring affiliate would get the $Flat rate.
  • Days to Reach Minimum - Specifies the amount of time the refereed affiliate has to make the $Minimum.
  • %Tier2 - The flat rate received by the referring affiliate when the referred affiliate refers a new affiliate. For example: Affiliate Alice refers Affiliate Bob. Affiliate Bob then refers Affiliate Conrad; Affiliate Alice receives the %Tier2 flat rate.

By clicking the Advanced Options link, you can make special commission changes. For more information, please refer to our Commission Changes article.

Once you have done this, you can set up tiered payments under the Referred Customer Commissions heading. For example: Affiliate Alice refers Affiliate Bob; Alice earns 10% of Bob's sales: This is the tier 1 commission. Affiliate Bob then refers Affiliate Conrad; Bob earns 10% of Conrad's sales and Alice earns 2% of Conrad's sales: This is the Tier 2 and 3 commissions. In other words, Bob is Alice's first tier, and Conrad is Bob's first tier and Alice's second tier. You can have up to eight tiers and you can pay a different percentage of your choosing for each tier.

Lastly, you can choose if you would like to mark the offer as hidden, meaning you would keep all affiliates from seeing their affiliate referral links. Once finished, click "Save Changes". You can edit all of this information at any time by clicking the "Manage Aff Ref Commissions" tab in the Offers Admin.

Your affiliates will now be able to grab linkcodes for the affiliate referral offer like any other offer:

They will also see the payouts in their stats.

Finding an Affiliate's Referring Affiliate

You can find a referring affiliate through the Affiliates Admin. To do so, enter the referring affiliate's username in the referrer box in the search options and click search. An affiliate's referring affiliate(if any) will show up in the Affiliate Overview.
