VPCART allows you to have two levels of affilates – master and sub-affiliates. Sub-Affiliates have a master affiliate ID specified in their affiliate record and the master affiliate receives a commission from any orders their sub-affiliates generate.
The Master Affiliate commission is calculated differently to regular affiliate commissions.
If you are NOT using product or category commission rates, the master commission is simply the master commission rate multiplied by the order amount total.
If you are using product or category commissions, the referring affiliate commission is the master commission rate multiplied by the commission of the actual affiliate.
It is calculated as a percentage of the actual affiliate’s commission.
