# 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
