 * Hello, I have another problem. I have a two-level affiliate system, where the
   commission for the “parent” affiliate (level 1) should be detracted from the 
   level 0’s commission, as follows:
    - Customer uses referral link of parent affiliate: 15 € commission generated
    - Customer uses referral link of child affiliate: 10 € commission for child 
      affiliate and 5 € for parent affiliate
 * The percentage for level 1 affiliate has been set to 33.33%, but the level 0 
   affiliate is being credited a full 15 €: the level 1’s commission is not deducted
   from that of level 0.
 * Is there a way to change this behavior and have the commission for level 0 set
   to 10 € instead of 15?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fround-lake.dustinice.workers.dev%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmulti-level-affiliate-commissions%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hey [@sleonardi65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sleonardi65/),
 * Thank you for reaching out! The affiliate that refers the sale is rewarded based
   on the commission rates you have set in SliceWP > Settings > General > Commissions
   Settings.
 * The referring affiliate’s parents commissions are then rewarded based on the 
   rates you have set in SliceWP > Settings > General > Multi-level Affiliates and
   are calculated based on the referring affiliate’s commission amount.
 * Please follow our guide on multi-level affiliates to learn how everything works,
   here: [https://slicewp.com/docs/multi-level-affiliates/](https://slicewp.com/docs/multi-level-affiliates/)

 * Hello Mihai,
 * I had already read the guide on multi-level affiliates, but the need is very 
   specific. I need that the commission for the level 1 affiliate be detracted from
   that of the level 0 affiliate. In the case described above, the level 0 affiliate
   is being credited 15 € and the level 1 affiliate 5 €, which gives a total commission
   paid of 20 €. The total commission should be 15 €, just like the case of the 
   single affiliate, but divided as indicated, 10 € for the level 0 and 5 € for 
   the level 1. Is there a way to change this behavior with a code snippet?
 * Thanks and regards
 * Stefano

 * Hey [@sleonardi65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sleonardi65/),
 * I’m afraid that the system was not built for the scenario you’re looking to implement.
   The way it works is described in detail in the documentation article that I’ve
   shared.
 * Also, from looking at the code, there isn’t an easy way of extending it to work
   as you’ve described, so I cannot offer you a quick code snippet. As much as I’d
   love to be able to help you out with this one, I’m afraid that I cannot.
 * The setup could be implemented, by extending our plugin’s code, however, this
   falls under custom development work, which is something that we do not offer.
   We’re happy to provide quick code snippets for quick fixes, however, custom development
   work is something that we cannot offer.
 * If you’re looking to extend SliceWP, I recommend contacting a WordPress specialist.
   The people behind [Codeable](https://www.codeable.io/) have WordPress developers
   on hand for such projects, so I recommend contacting them.
 * Thank you and best wishes,
 * Mihai

 * If your product is $100 and your total commission paid out for a sale is $15,
   why not do this?…
 * Parent Affiliate: $10 (10%)
 * Child Affiliate: $5 (5%)
 * The total 15% commission would be $15.
