MLM Commissions in Store Module

Overview

The Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) module in your local store module allows you to establish commission structures for your affiliates. This guide explains how to configure these settings and understand the commission payout process.

Navigation

To access the MLM settings, navigate to:

  • Admin Panel > Left Menu > MLM > MLM Levels

Configuring Commission Levels

Within the MLM Levels section, you can define custom Cost Per Sale (CPS) rates. These rates can be set as either a percentage (%) or a fixed amount. Based on these settings, commissions are calculated as a proportion or a fixed sum of the total sale amount.

Example

Suppose you configure two commission levels as follows:

  • Level 0: 35% Commission
  • Level 1: 30% Commission
  • Level 2: 20% Commission

If an affiliate at Level 0 (referred to as aff3 - level 0) generates a sale of $350, commissions would be allocated as:

  • Level 0: Receives 35% of $350, equal to $122.50
  • Level 1: Receives 30% of $350, equal to $105
  • Level 2: Receives 20% of $350, equal to $70

Note: Level 0 commission settings can be configured under “Product Sale Commission” or as the “Default Sale Commission” in your store settings.

Commission Status and Workflow

Commissions are recorded in the affiliate and admin wallets and can have one of two statuses: On-hold or In-wallet.

Commission Status

  • On hold: The commission is not available for withdrawal.
  • In-wallet: The commission is available for withdrawal.

Commission Availability Based on Payment Status

  • If the payment status for an order isComplete, the commission status changes to In-wallet, enabling the affiliate to request a withdrawal.
  • If the payment status is not Complete, the commission remains On-hold, and withdrawal is not possible until the admin updates the order status to Complete.

By following these instructions, you can successfully set up and manage MLM commissions within your local store module.
