# How affiliates invite other affiliates

### ✅ What This Option Does

This feature allows existing affiliates to invite new affiliates to join your program.

When an affiliate invites someone:

* The invited person becomes a **sub-affiliate**
* The inviter becomes their **parent affiliate**
* If Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is enabled, the parent affiliate can earn **override commissions** from their sub-affiliate’s sales

This helps you grow your affiliate program organically, without manual recruiting.

***

#### 🔄 How It Works

1. An affiliate joins your campaign
2. The affiliate gets a **network invite link**
3. They share the link with friends or partners
4. New affiliates sign up using that link
5. A parent–child relationship is created automatically

> The system tracks the relationship for **network visibility and MLM commissions**.

### ⚙️ Where Affiliates Find Their Invite Link

Affiliates can find their invite link in their **Affiliate Dashboard**.

**Path:**

```
Affiliate Dashboard → Networks → Invite to join your network
```

They will see a link like:

```
https://your-store.jaka.app/?ref=AFFILIATE_CODE
```

This link is unique to each affiliate.

### 🧩 Step-by-Step: How Affiliates Invite Others

#### 1️⃣ Copy the Invite Link

The affiliate clicks the **copy icon** next to their invite link.

#### 2️⃣ Share the Link

They can share it via:

* Email
* Social media
* Messaging apps
* Website or blog

#### 3️⃣ New Affiliate Registers

When someone clicks the link and signs up:

* They are linked to the inviter automatically
* No manual approval is needed (if auto-approve is enabled)

***

### 📌 Example

> Anna is an affiliate in Campaign A\
> She shares her invite link with John\
> John signs up using Anna’s link

Result:

* John becomes Anna’s **sub-affiliate**
* Anna becomes John’s **parent affiliate**
* The relationship appears in the affiliate network

***

#### 💡 Tip

If **Auto-Approved Affiliate** is enabled in the campaign, new affiliates can start promoting immediately after signing up.

#### ⚠️ Note

Inviting affiliates does **not automatically pay commissions** unless:

* [Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)](https://docs.jaka.app/shopify/~/revisions/etUYfWdaLDrspaqYU0an/campaign-setup/multiple-level-marketing-mlm) is enabled
* Commission levels are configured
