Multi-Tier Commission
La multi-tier commission è una struttura in cui l'affiliato guadagna dai propri referral e da quelli degli affiliati che ha reclutato.
What it means in practice
Le strutture di multi-tier commission consentono agli affiliati di guadagnare non solo dai clienti che referenziano direttamente, ma anche dalle conversioni generate dai sub-affiliati che reclutano nel programma. In un modello a due livelli, l'affiliato guadagna la commissione standard sui referral di tier-1 piu una percentuale piu piccola sulle conversioni guidate dai partner di tier-2. Alcuni programmi estendono questo a tre o piu livelli, anche se la complessità aumenta a ogni livello aggiuntivo.
Questa struttura è diversa dal marketing multi-livello (MLM). Nei programmi di affiliazione, i livelli di commissione sono finanziati dall'operatore come costo di acquisizione, non dai partecipanti che pagano per entrare nel sistema. La commissione di tier-2 (o tier-3) è un incentivo aggiuntivo che l'operatore paga per premiare gli affiliati che aiutano a far crescere la rete di sub-affiliati. L'esperienza e il prezzo per il cliente referenziato restano invariati indipendentemente da quanti livelli di commissione esistano.
Le multi-tier commission sono uno strumento potente per scalare i programmi di affiliazione perché trasformano i partner esistenti in reclutatori. Gli affiliati con grandi audience o connessioni di settore sono motivati a portare nuovi partner nel programma quando guadagnano una percentuale continuativa delle performance di quei partner. Per gli operatori, ciò riduce il costo e lo sforzo del reclutamento. Il compromesso è una maggiore complessità nel calcolo delle commissioni, nel reporting e nell'elaborazione del payout.

Sub-Affiliate
An affiliate recruited by another affiliate into a program, where the recruiting affiliate earns a percentage of the sub-affiliate commissions as an override.
Sub-IB
A Sub-IB is an introducing broker recruited by another IB (the master IB) rather than directly by the broker. Sub-IBs operate under a multi-tier structure where commissions cascade from the broker through the master IB layer.
Master IB
A Master IB is an introducing broker who recruits and manages a network of Sub-IBs beneath them. The Master IB earns override commissions on the trading volume generated by their downstream partners in addition to commissions on their own direct referrals.
Hybrid Commission
Hybrid commission combines two payout models, most commonly CPA and RevShare, in a single affiliate deal so operators can reward both conversion volume and long-term customer value.
CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)
CPA is a commission model where an affiliate earns a fixed payment for each qualifying action, such as a deposit, registration, or purchase, that a referred user completes.
Sub-Affiliate vs Multi-Tier Commission
Sub-affiliate programs pay a commission on recruits' earnings, while multi-tier commission extends this across multiple referral levels.
Multi-Tier Commission vs Override Commission
Multi-tier commission pays affiliates a percentage of their sub-affiliates' earnings across multiple levels, while override commission pays a flat bonus on sub-affiliate performance.
