The Affiliate Referral program allows an affiliate to refer other affiliates, while receiving a percentage of their sales commission. NATS4 allows you to further encourage referrals by setting up multiple tiers for Affiliate Referrals.
For example: Affiliate Alice signs up Affiliate Bob; Alice earns 10% of Bob's sales. Affiliate Bob signs up Affiliate Conrad; Bob earns 10% of Conrad's sales and Alice earns 2% of Conrad's sales. In this setup, Bob is Alice's first tier, and Conrad is Alice's second tier. You can have up to eight tiers and you can pay a different percentage for each tier.
Adding an Affiliate Program
To add a new Affiliate Program, create a new disabled program in the Programs Admin named Affiliate Referral (or something similar) and add a shortname (no spaces). Select Affiliate Referral Program from the Program Type drop-down menu and save.
Under Program Default Payouts, edit the default settings and enter the program's payouts.
- $ flat is a flat rate for a referral and $min can be used to specify the minimum amount of money the referred affiliate would have to send in traffic before the referring affiliate would get the flat rate.
- Days Min specifies the amount of time the referee has to make the $min minimum.
- $sale specifies a flat rate per paid per referee's sale.
- %revenue allows specifies a percentage of the referee's sale to pay the referrer.
- %tier2 is an easy way to set up a second percentage tier.
Once you have done this, go to the Sites Admin page and create a new site. Name the site "Affiliate Referral" (or something similar), fill in the short name, and select Affiliate Referral for Site Type. Click Save Changes. After the site has been saved, add it to the affiliate referral program with the "Programs This Site Is In" section. This will be the only site to be added to this program.
Your affiliates will now be able to grab link codes for the affiliate referral program like any other program; they will also see the payouts in their stats.
Finding an Affiliate's Referring Affiliate
You can find a referring affiliate through the Affiliates Admin. To do so, enter the affiliate's username in the referrer box in the search options and click search.
