Configuring MLM Levels and Commission Rates

How to open MLM Levels

  1. In the top navigation bar, click Marketing.
  2. From the dropdown, click MLM.
  3. On the MLM Settings page, click the Levels button in the top-right corner.

Step 1 — Set the number of levels

Use the Refer Level slider to choose how many levels deep the MLM chain goes. You can set between 1 and 20 levels. The table below the slider updates immediately to show one row per level.

Use Set Smart Defaults to auto-fill all levels with progressive commission rates (Level 1: 10%, Level 2: 8%, Level 3: 6%, and so on). You can adjust any value afterwards.

Step 2 — Configure commission rates per level

Each level row has the following columns:

Column Full name What it pays
CPR Cost Per Registration Commission paid when a new affiliate registers via a referred affiliate’s link. Commission type is selected in the column header: Disabled, Percentage of membership fee, Custom percentage amount, or Fixed amount.
CPS Cost Per Sale Commission paid on each sale generated by a referred affiliate. Type (percentage or fixed) is selected in the column header and applies to all levels.
Clicks count Click threshold Number of clicks required before a CPC commission is triggered at that level.
CPC Cost Per Click Fixed amount paid per qualifying click event from a referred affiliate’s campaigns.
CPA Cost Per Action Fixed amount paid when a referred affiliate’s campaign records a custom action conversion.

Set any value to 0 to disable that commission type for a specific level without removing the level from the chain.

Step 3 — Store module fixed commission mode

At the bottom of the levels page there is an additional setting for the Store module:

Option Effect
Per Order (once) Fixed CPS commission is calculated once per order, regardless of how many products or what quantity was purchased.
Per Product (multiply by quantity) Fixed CPS commission is multiplied by the total quantity of products in the order.

This setting applies to both direct affiliate commissions and MLM level commissions when using fixed amounts.

Step 4 — Save

Click Save Settings. The new level configuration takes effect immediately for all future commission events across all campaigns.
