Master Affiliate Setup Guide

A master affiliate is an affiliate capable of referring new affiliates to an affiliate program. They are enjoying a second tier commission (also known as Master Affiliate Commission) from the results that the referred affiliates are generating.

In our system Master Affiliate as a feature is repsented by Affiliate Groups, with one affiliate being a master (group is created under him) and other affiliates inside the group being the reffered affiliates.

In order to create a Master Affiliate, we should create a group, setup a Fee for the master affiliate that he will recieve from his reffered affiliates, and attach reffered affiliates to the group. Below is a guide how to do so.

⚠️ This guide requires you to have both master and reffered affiliate’s accounts created.

Open Gear Button → Affiliate Groups, or type Affiliate Groups in the searchbar.

1. Press the Plus button.

2. Give the group a name.

3. Select the Master Affiliate.

   1. Note that master affiliate is selected only from existing affiliate accounts, so if this is a new affiliate, check that he has an account created or create it before creating an Affiliate Group.

4. Press Submit

Once the group is created, we need to setup a fee that Master Affiliate will recieve for conversions made by his reffered affiliates.

Open Affiliates → Affiliates, or type Affiliates in the searchbar

1. Find and open the Affiliate that you assigned as a master.

2. Select Fees & Qualifications.

3. Find Fee section.

Here, we’re intersted in two options:

• Master Affiliate Percentage Fee - add a certain percent of the payout from reffered affiliate’s conversions to the master affiliate.

• Master Affiliate Static Fee - add a certain amount of the payout from reffered affiliate’s conversions to the master affiliate.

Both of these can be either deduced from the reffered affiliate’s payout for the conversion, or added as a bonus to the master affiliate, without reducing reffered affiliate payout.
