Inflektion makes it easy for your top-performing partners to help grow your affiliate program by referring other affiliates and earning a percentage of their sales. This is known as a Tier 2 Affiliate Program, and it’s a powerful way to incentivize recruiting and expand your reach.
What Is a Tier 2 Affiliate?
A Tier 2 affiliate earns a referral commission when someone they referred (another affiliate) generates a sale.
How to Enable Tier 2 for a Partner
To activate Tier 2 functionality for a specific affiliate:
-
Reach out to the Inflektion team either:
- Via your dedicated Slack channel
- Or by submitting a ticket here
- Include the following details in your message:
- Affiliate ID of the partner you want to enable for recruiting
- The percentage of the referred affiliate’s payout the recruiter should receive (e.g. 16.66%)
💡 This percentage is calculated based on the referred affiliate's commission earned, not the total sale amount.
For example:
- Fitjess50+ joins your program using a unique referral link from Biohacker Bob.
- Fitjess50+ earns 30% commission on her sales.
- Biohacker Bob is set to receive 16.66% of referral commission, so he will effectively earn 5% of the total sale.
What Happens Next?
Once Tier 2 is enabled:
- The recruiting affiliate will see a referral link in their Partner Portal here:
- They can share this link with other potential affiliates. In our example the link would be: https://join.sugarpopgummies.com/17759 (or they can also share the QR code from the portal)
- When someone signs up using that link, they are automatically associated as a referral of the original affiliate.
- The recruiter will start earning Tier 2 commissions on all sales generated by the new affiliate.
Example:
Biohacker Bob shares his referral link with Fitjess50+
→ Fitjess50+ signs up using the link
→ Biohacker Bob is now set as her Tier 2 referrer
→ He earns commission on every sale she makes
In the brand portal, under the Fitjess 50+ partner profile, you can see she was referred by Biohacker Bob here:
Missed Link on Signup?
If a new affiliate didn’t use the referral link when signing up—no problem! Just submit a ticket and we can manually associate them with their referrer.
Payment
Tier 2 commissions are automatically tracked and paid during your regular affiliate pay cycles—no additional steps needed.
