Many of you wanted a more flexible commission structure to make your multi-tier affiliate program more attractive for your affiliates.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest improvements.
The latest update to the Multi-Tier Commissions addon gives you more flexibility when calculating commissions.
Choose between setting flat rates or calculating tier commissions based on sales, whichever motivates your affiliates to drive more customers your way.
Excited?
Let us walk you through all the new features that will improve your affiliate program.
Now, you can tailor the commission structure for each tier in your affiliate program, offering more than just the traditional percentage-based options.
Choose between Percentage (%), Flat Per Product, or Flat Per Order.
Each commission type is designed to encourage specific sales behaviors, providing clarity and predictability that can attract and retain top-performing affiliates.
For more detailed information on setting flat rates for your tiers, check out the complete documentation.
Previously, in our Multi-Tier Commissions addon, commissions were calculated based on the earnings of the affiliate who referred the customer (the Tier 1 affiliate).
Though this method works well in many cases, we’ve introduced a new option for calculating commissions. Additionally, we also made it easier to use this new option with our updated user interface.
Now, you can calculate commissions based on the total sale amount instead of relying solely on Tier 1 affiliate earnings.
This new method rewards all affiliates fairly, linking their earnings directly to the actual sales they help generate.
To calculate commissions based on the total sale amount, go to AffiliateWP » Settings » Commissions.
Under the Multi-Tier Commissions section, you’ll see the Tier Calculation Method.
Select Calculate all tiers’ commissions based on the total sale amount.
With the new sales-based commission calculation, each tier’s earnings are linked directly to the total sales amount. For example, if the total sale is $200 and Tier 2 is set to earn 10%, they receive $20, independent of Tier 1’s earnings.
This ensures that each tier has the potential to earn more based solely on the overall sales they help generate.
Our latest updates to the Multi-Tier Commissions Pro addon make managing commissions easier, helping you boost your sales and attract more affiliates.
Give your affiliates the flexibility they crave with customizable commission tiers and motivate them by increasing their earnings using sales-based commission calculation.
Don’t wait any longer to grow your affiliate program with AffiliateWP Pro’s advanced features.

Can you modify my copy of “Multi-Tier Commissions”? I need up to 7 tiers and a fixed number of affiliates per tier ( forced matrix).
Hey Michael – You can modify the Multi-Tier Commissions to support up to 7 tiers. You can achieve this by using the following code snippet:
add_filter( 'affwp_mtc_max_tiers', function( $tiers ) {return 7; // Allows up to 7 tiers.
} );
Additionally, I recommend updating the plugin to the latest version, as the forced matrix feature has been released in Multi-Tier Commissions version 1.4.0. In case it helps, you can view our changelog for more details.
