You can set different commission groups for the affiliate plan in your store through "Commission" page, and set the commission rate for each group. When a referral order is generated, based on the current group of the affiliate, the commission that the affiliate can get will be calculated based on the commission rate and the discounted price or selling price of the items in the order.
You can manually adjust the commission group of affiliates, or you can set auto-tier commission on the commission group page. When the affiliate reaches the condition value you set, the system will automatically adjust the commission group for the affiliate.
