DESCRIPTION
Turn your partner program into a network: with Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) for Affiliate & Partner Program, partners earn not only from the orders of their own customers but also from the orders of the partners they recruited, over up to five levels. Partners recruit partners: customer referral becomes network marketing with a referral network, a downline and commission per level, as a two-tier affiliate program with two levels or as a sales network with five.
You decide how many levels count and which rate applies per level, in percent, per order or per piece, for every partner individually if you like. The level rates bring a priority of their own that fits into your commission rules and partner groups. Commission only comes from real orders and is paid out as usual through Affiliate & Partner Program. A network tree in the administration and, if you like, in the partner area shows who recruited whom and what came of it.
The problem you know
- Good recruiters go away empty-handed. Whoever wins new partners grows your sales, but only gets commission for their own customers.
- Networks stay invisible. Who recruited whom and which turnover came of it is in no list.
- Several levels by hand. Recalculating commission over levels costs time and causes errors.
- Circles pay twice. If partners recruit each other, a simple calculation quickly pays twice.
How multi-level marketing solves it
- Partners recruit partners. Every order also rewards the partners above, up to the level you set.
- Rates by your model. Per level in percent, per order or per piece, with a subsequent rate of its own and per partner if you like.
- Fits into your rules. The level rates bring a priority of their own, by default commission rules and partner groups come first.
- The network in view. Network tree, statistics per level and network statistics for the whole program.
- Calculated safely. Circles in the partner chain are detected, existing bookings stay, cancellations are balanced over all levels.
The benefits at a glance
- More reach through partners who win partners themselves
- Your best recruiters stay tied to your program
- Commission only from turnover, never for sign-ups
- Full transparency over the network for you and your partners
Typical use cases
- Referral network: Customers refer customers and partners, the recruiters earn on two or three levels.
- Agencies and influencer teams: An agency brings several influencers as partners and earns from their orders.
- Sales structure and field sales: Sales partners build teams, together with the extension for sellers further levels count for sellers only.
- Direct selling and network marketing: Consultants win new consultants and see their downline as a tree in the partner area.
- Communities and clubs: A club recruits members as partners and earns from their orders.
Features in detail
Levels and rates
- Commission for levels 2 to 5 in addition to the commission of the directly referring partner
- You choose up to which level commission is paid, from 1 to 5
- Type, rate and subsequent rate per level: in percent of the net value, as an amount per order or per piece
- Defaults for new partners, 3, 2, 1 and 1 % out of the box
- Rates of their own per partner in the card "Further levels" in the tab commission, the subsequent rate follows the rate until you unlink it
Priority
- The level rates bring a priority of their own, 10 by default
- It fits into the existing priorities: commission rules (100 to 500) and partner groups (50) come first by default
- With a higher number the level rates come first, on equal priority the commission selection decides
- With "always highest" or "always lowest rate" the priority does not count, the rate of the first level stays on its own
Network in the administration
- Tab "Network" on the partner: who recruited them and their partners level by level, each with their network and the commission from it
- Search across all levels that opens the path to the partner found
- A colour per level, loading level by level even for large networks
- Page "Multi-level marketing" in the menu with the active levels and a worked example with your rates
Partner area
- Tab "Multi-level marketing" with one row per level: partners, customers, orders, turnover and commission
- The network tree if you like: recruited partners level by level with shortened names, a colour per level and the latest five orders of their customers
- Every partner sees only their own network
Statistics
- Commission per level on the dashboard of the partner program
- Tab "Levels" in the statistics of every partner, with a total row
- Network statistics for the whole program: turnover of recruited partners against the commission of further levels, new partners with or without recruiter, best recruiters, largest networks and networks with the most turnover
Settlement
- Column "Level" on the bookings of the partner and on the commission of every order
- Vouchers, payouts by SEPA file or PayPal integration and the balance of cancellations run through Affiliate & Partner Program, for all levels
- Circles in the partner chain are detected, every partner is paid only once per order
- Existing bookings stay unchanged when rates change
- No permission of its own: whoever may use the partner program may also use multi-level marketing
Who it pays off for
For shops with a partner program whose best recruiters win new partners themselves: referral networks, agencies with influencer teams, sales structures, direct selling and network marketing. The extension turns Affiliate & Partner Program into a network of up to five levels that settles itself.
