Build network-style affiliate programs with UniLevel multi-tier commissions. When Affiliate C makes a sale, commissions flow upward — C earns direct, B earns tier 2, A earns tier 3. Configurable 2–5 levels deep.
Get Royal Affiliate ProRoyal Affiliate Pro uses the UniLevel commission model — the simplest and most popular multi-level structure. Commissions cascade upward through the recruitment chain automatically.
The simplest, most popular MLM model. Commissions flow upward through the recruitment chain. Same model used by AffiliateWP ($300 tier), SliceWP (paid add-on), and AffiliatePress.
Configure maximum depth from 2 to 5 levels. Default: 3 levels. Each level gets its own configurable commission rate.
When a visitor arrives via an affiliate's link and registers as a new affiliate, the referrer becomes their parent automatically via cookie tracking.
Approve a direct referral and all tier referrals are approved too. Reject or refund? All tier commissions cascade the same way. No manual cleanup needed.
The system validates upline chains and blocks loops (A→B→C→A). Deduplication prevents double-crediting on the same order.
Affiliates see their direct recruits in a dedicated Team tab. Shows recruit name, referral code, status, join date, and their referral count. Plus tier earnings breakdown by level.
Here is how commissions flow through a 3-level chain on a $100 product sale:
A is B's parent in the recruitment chain. A will earn tier commissions on B's referrals.
B is C's parent. Now A sits two levels above C, forming a 3-level chain: A → B → C.
A customer arrives via Affiliate C's referral link and purchases a $100 product.
C earns 10% ($10 direct commission), B earns 5% ($5 tier 2 commission), A earns 2% ($2 tier 3 commission). All calculated and assigned automatically.
