AffiliateWP: Tiered Affiliate Rates 1.3.1

AffiliateWP Tiered Affiliate Rates is a WordPress plugin that adds automatic, tiered commissions to your AffiliateWP program. Instead of using a single flat rate, it lets you reward affiliates with higher percentages as they generate more referrals or accumulate more affiliate earnings. This helps solve the common issue of static incentives that stop motivating top performers over time. You can define flexible thresholds, control whether tiers are active, and keep commission behavior consistent inside your AffiliateWP settings. Optional tiered expiration further supports time-based goals by resetting rates on a set schedule.

Main Features

• Automatic tiered commissions — Applies the correct commission rate once an affiliate reaches each tier’s threshold.
• Multiple tiers — Create as many tier rules as you need in the “Tiered Rates” section of AffiliateWP Settings.
• Tier type selection — Choose whether tiers are based on affiliate earnings or referral count.
• Configurable thresholds — Set the referral or earnings amount required to qualify for a higher rate.
• Per-tier commission rates — Define the percentage each affiliate receives after hitting the specified threshold.
• Tier enable/disable control — Turn specific tiers off without removing them from your configuration.
• Tiered Rate Expiration — Optionally reset tiered rates on the 1st of every month.
