Multiple Level Conversions grant a parent affiliate an ongoing commission every time a sub-affiliate beneath them generates an approved conversion; for as many levels deep as you configure.
This article assumes you're already familiar with parent/child affiliate relationships. If not, start with How Do I Manage Multi-Level Affiliate Commissions? before continuing.

How levels work
Level 1 is the direct parent of the affiliate who made the sale. Level 2 is that parent's own parent (a grandparent relationship), and so on. You can configure a commission independently for each level, so a direct parent and a level-2 ancestor can earn different amounts from the same sale.
Setting up a Multiple Level Conversion structure
Multiple Level Conversions are configured per offer, from the Multiple Level Conversions tab on the offer's edit page:
Open the offer you want to configure and go to the Multiple Level Conversions tab.
Add a level record and set the level (1 for the direct parent, 2 for a grandparent, and so on).
Choose a commission type: Percent of Sale, or a Flat Rate amount with a currency. Leave the currency blank on a Flat Rate to match the original sale's currency automatically.
Decide whether the sub-affiliate must belong to the same offer as the ancestor for that level's commission to apply.
Save. You can view or delete existing level records from the same tab, and repeat this process to configure additional levels.
