Multi-tier commissions let a partner earn not just on their own sales, but on the sales of partners they bring in — a network that grows itself. TrackRev’s model is designed so the total paid across an entire chain can never exceed the pool you set, no matter how deep it goes.

​
Turn it on

In the programme form (cash programmes only), open the Multi-tier commissions section and enable it. Configure: A live decay preview shows the rate and payout at each level for a sample sale.

​
How the maths works

Each level up the chain earns a decaying share:
  • decay ratio = 1 − (tier 1 rate ÷ total pool)
  • rate at level N = tier 1 rate × decay ratio^(N−1)
Because the infinite series converges exactly to the total pool, the chain can never pay out more than the pool you set — the seller earns the most, and each level above earns geometrically less until the dollar floor or level cap stops it.
With the defaults (10% tier-1, 30% pool), the direct seller earns 10%, their recruiter ~6.7%, the next level ~4.4%, and so on — summing toward 30% but never exceeding it.

​
Auto-enrolling customers

With Auto-enrol every customer on, every buyer silently gets their own referral link placed under the partner who sold to them. This turns happy customers into a self-expanding referral network without them having to opt in — the essence of product-led referrals.

​
The Network dashboard

Open Affiliate program → Network to see the tree in action:
  • Stat cards: Affiliates in tree, Active (have sold), Deepest chain, Auto-enrolled customers.
  • A revenue-mix card, a list of network sales, and the indented Referral tree.
Network commissions carry the actual seller as their source, and the first time a partner earns passively from their downline, a partner.first_commission webhook fires (see Webhooks).
Banned or rejected partners in the middle of a chain drop out of the payout but don’t sever the chain — the levels above them still earn.
