Number of Downline Tiers

The number of downline tiers to allow within the program. Most merchants do not utilize a multi-level affiliate program strategy.

Info
titleDownline Tier 1, 2, 3, etc.

When instituting a multi-tier affiliate system, the "Affiliate Commission" is the commission amount paid to the affiliate that actually made the sale. The "Downline Tier 1" would be the top level affiliate the recruited the affiliateaffiliates under them, and "Downline 2" would represent the next level affiliate under the "Downline Tier 1" that recruited the affiliate that made the sale, if applicable.

While the Affiliate system does not have a hard cap on the number of tiers, practically speaking, going much higher than 3 tiers will be an issue since you will need to spread out the commissions among the available tiers.
