Add A Two-Tier Affiliate Plan
In this article, we will go over adding a two-tiered affiliate plan within Backpack and creating a tier two affiliate registration link. Creating a two-tiered affiliate plan allows affiliates to refer other affiliates under them. The referring affiliate can collect a second tier commission on their referred affiliates sales.
For example, the tier 1 commission is set at 10% and tier 2 is set at 5%. The referred affiliate makes a sale of $100 dollars, they will make a tier 1 commission of 10% ($10) and the original affiliate will make a tier 2 commission of 5% ($5).
Prior to getting started, you will need to have the following:
- An active ClickFunnels account subscribed to the Platinum or higher plan
- A Commission Plan
- An Affiliate Type
- A Backpack enabled funnel
How to create a second affiliate tier:
1. Hover over Backpack at the top of the page, then click on Commission Plans.
2. Click the View button for the commission plan to be edited.
3. While viewing the desired Commission plan, click the Add New Tier button.
4. In the Add Affiliate Schedule for New Tier popup:
5. Fill out the Amount field
6. Fill out the Months Before Payout field
7. Select the desired Payment Type
8. Click the Add Affiliate Schedule button
How to add a link to your Affiliate Area to allow Affiliates to refer New Affiliates:
1. Within the Affiliate Access step of your funnel, copy the Secret Sign Up URL.
2. Open the Affiliate Area page in the page editor by clicking EDIT PAGE.
