2.3 Reward Settings

This program allows sponsors to get rewards when referred customers create accounts or make purchases. Enable the options you want and fill in the value needed to configure how to calculate the reward to give to the sponsor (referrer).

Moreover, our app supports multi-level marketing (sponsors can also get rewards when referred customers from lower levels purchase products). To help you understand more about this program and the referral rewards calculation, let’s refer to the example of 3 levels sponsor below!

For example, Shally buys an order of $200. We set “Total reward for all levels” as 10% of the total order value.

  • Level 1 sponsor will receive 50% of the total reward.
  • Level 2 sponsor will receive 70% of the total remaining reward (total reward – the reward that sponsor Lv1 received).
  • Level 3 sponsor will receive 100% of total remaining reward (total reward – the reward that sponsor Lv1 & Lv2 received)

Remaining reward = total reward – reward that lower levels received

Total reward will be: 200$ x 10% = 20$

  • Anne (Level 1 sponsor) is the direct referrer of Shally. Anne will get 50% of total reward: 20$ x 50% = 10$.

Remaining reward = 20$ – 10$ = 10$

  • Matt (Level 2 sponsor) is the indirect referrer of Shally: Matt will get 70% of the remaining reward: 10$ x 70% = 7$

Remaining reward (after Anne and Matt received reward) = 20$ – 10$ – 7$ = 3$

  • John (Level 3 sponsor) is also an indirect referrer of Shally: John will get 100% of the remaining reward: 3$ x 100% = 3$

Remaining reward (after Anne, Matt and John received reward) = 20$ – 10$ – 7$ – 3$ = 0

We have just explained the calculation of 3 levels of reward settings. With higher levels, you can set up the reward for each level as you like, and the calculation is the same as above.

2.4 Friend Voucher
