# View Affiliate Network

### ℹ️ What Is the Affiliate Network?

The **Affiliate** **Network** shows how affiliates are connected to each other in your program.\
It helps you understand who invited whom, and how your multi-level marketing (MLM) structure is built.

The affiliate network is a **visual hierarchy** that shows:

* The **recruiter (parent affiliate)**
* The **recruited affiliates (child affiliates)**
* The **relationship between affiliates** created through invite links

This network is used to calculate **multi-level commissions** automatically.

#### 🔄 How the Affiliate Network Is Created

The affiliate network is created **automatically** when affiliates join using invite links.

#### How it works:

1. An affiliate shares their **network invite link**
2. A new affiliate signs up using that link
3. The new affiliate is linked as a **child** of the inviter
4. The system builds the network structure automatically

### 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Network Structure Explained&#x20;

Let’s look at a simple example:

* **Lee Hi** (top affiliate) - Invited **Laura**
* Laura may invite others later

The network will look like this:

```
Lee Hi (You)
 └── Laura
```

* Lee Hi is the **recruiter**
* Laura is the **recruited affiliate**
* This relationship is used to calculate MLM commissions

***

### 🔧 Assign or Change Recruiter (Admin Only)

By default, networks are created automatically.\
However, store admins can manually manage recruiters.

#### Admin actions available:

* **Assign recruiter**
* **Change recruiter**
* **Disconnect recruiter**

* Networks are created automatically via invite links
* Only admins can change recruiter relationships in the app
