Sub-affiliates are affiliates who work under a parent affiliate. They promote products or services through their own networks, and the parent affiliate earns a commission from the sales made by their sub-affiliates. This model helps affiliates expand their networks and increase their earnings.

Our platform supports up to 7-tier affiliate campaigns, allowing affiliates to have multiple sub-affiliates under them.

Please Note:
The campaign you want to add sub-affiliates to must be multi-tier (tier 2 or above).

Benefits of Sub-Affiliates

Sub-affiliates allow for a layered commission structure. For example, if Affiliate A refers Affiliate B, and B makes a sale, both A and B earn commissions. This encourages affiliates to grow their teams and generate more leads.

**3.**Allow Affiliates to Recruit Their Own Sub-Affiliates

Affiliates can recruit sub-affiliates themselves by sharing a sign-up link. This process makes onboarding easy and gives affiliates more autonomy.

The Affiliate portal will also show a list of all sub-affiliates under each affiliate.

Please note:
Forms used for sub-affiliate sign-ups must include First Name, Last Name, and Email. Missing fields will result in errors.
The Sub-Affiliate Sign-Up feature only works for multi-tier campaigns (tier 2 or higher).
Changes in global settings will only apply to future campaigns.

By leveraging these methods, you can grow your affiliate network and manage your sub-affiliates effectively, boosting overall sales and commissions.
