Create a multi-level affiliate program

With the multi-level affiliate program, you can set up an affiliate program with up to 5 levels.

Anyone whose publisher link is the basis for the purchase will receive the level 1 commission. The publisher who referred them benefits from the level 2 commission and so on. 

Create the affiliate program

• Go to "Marketing" / "Partner Program"
• Click on "Create" on the right.

Here you can then define the levels and products and make additional settings.

Configure the affiliate program

• Configure your affiliate program.

• Name
  
  Give the program a meaningful name. The name will then also be seen by your publishers who want to select the advertising media such as links or similar in their account.
  
  
• Cookies expire after
  
  Save after how many days the cookies expire.
  
  
• Products
  
  Define which products your program applies to.
  
  
• Apply a lifetime commission?
  
  Set your program to Lifetime Commission if a publisher should receive the commission for all additional purchases made by the referred customer. This deactivates the assignment via cookies. The customer is permanently connected to the publisher via his email address.
  
  Since you can no longer make the setting lifetime commission if the program is already in use (a publisher has registered for it), it is best to decide about it when you create it.
  
  
• Publisher commission from the gross amount?
  
  Here you can set how the commissions for your publishers are calculated.
  If you activate the "Publisher commission from the gross amount," the publisher commission will be calculated from the amount paid. The publisher receives different amounts depending on the type and country of buyers.
  
  If this is not activated, "Publisher commission from the gross amount," it will be calculated from the net amount that remains after deduction of the elopage fees and any taxes that may be incurred.
  
  
• Multi-level program?
  
  Set the switcher to the right to create a multi-level affiliate program.
  
  
• Commission
  
  Save the commission as a percentage for each level.
  
  
• Bonus
  
  If necessary, save a bonus for the 1st level publisher. 
  

Advanced settings

You can make advanced settings here:

• Landing page
  
  If you don't want to create an affiliate landing page through us, turn the switcher to the left to deactivate it.
  
  On this landing page, your publishers can find out more about the program and can register.
  
  
• URL for forwarding 
  
  If the users who click on the publisher link are not to go to the elopage page selected by the publisher, but to a special landing page of yours, you can use a separate URL here to which you want the customers to be forwarded to. 
  
  If you do not enter anything, you will be taken to the page that the publisher specified when selecting the link (shop, product or checkoutpage).
  
  You can also save a redirect page for the product. This then takes place before the setting in your affiliate program and only applies if the publisher link goes to the product and checkout page.
  
  So you can control where the customers go when they click on the link.
