NATS4 Affiliate Referrals
The Affiliate Referral program lets an affiliate refer other affiliates and receive a percentage of their sales commission. You can further encourage referrals by setting up multiple tiers.
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

Under Program Default Payouts, edit default 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.

Go to Sites Admin page and create a new site. Name the site "Affiliate Referral", fill in the short name, and select Affiliate Referral for Site Type. Then click Save Changes.
