Downline Tiered Affiliates
The default downline bonus commission is a bonus paid by you to an affiliate based on the referred affiliate's commission. The percentage is multiplied by the commissions of the referred affiliate or downline affiliate.
For example, John referred Cindy to your network using his referral link. Cindy generated $1,000 in commissions last month. If the downline bonus commission is set to 5%, John will get $50 ($1,000 x .05) added to his commissions for the month. This $50 bonus is not taken from Cindy's commissions, but is paid for by you. Tiered commission bonuses can be viewed in the Affiliate Commission report as an extra line item for each affiliate if the bonus is greater than zero.
The referral link John used is http://(Your_Affiliate_Center_URL)/Welcome/LogInAndSignUp.aspx?SAFID=(John's Affiliate ID). This link can be made available within the Affiliate Center.
