FirstPromoter provides the capability to build a multi-tiered commission structure, limited to three tiers to prevent abuse. This feature is exclusively available on the Business plan or higher.
This is for FirstPromoter v2, if you are still using v1, please check this article
This feature proves effective in rapidly expanding your affiliate program by incentivizing promoters to recruit other promoters. The more sales their sub-affiliates generate, the higher the earnings for the parent promoter.
You can set up two types of tiered commissions as rewards for the parent promoter:
A. Percentage from Sub-Affiliate's Commission
Example: with a 10% second tier commission and a 30% normal commission, the parent promoter earns $3 for any $100 sale generated by their sub-affiliate (10% of the sub-affiliate's $30 commission). The total commissions to be paid would be $33.
B. Percentage from Original Sale Generated by Sub-Affiliate
In this case, with a 10% second tier commission and a 30% normal commission, the parent promoter earns $10 for any $100 sale generated by their sub-affiliate (10% of the original $100 sale). The total commissions to be paid would be $40.

Affiliate Recruitment Link and Sub-Affiliates Details
Once the second tier commission is enabled, promoters will find an additional page on their affiliate dashboard called "Sub-affiliates". From this page, they can obtain the recruitment link to share with their friends. The recruitment link, similar to a referral link, redirects visitors to the promoter signup page instead of the company homepage.
