There is a major difference between Level base commission and MLM commission.

• Level-based Commission is provided as Direct commission.
• And MLM commission will be provided to the Parent of the Affiliate.

Let’s suppose Level is set like shown as below:-

So  Affiliate will acquire level 1 After pressing become an affiliate button when they log in the first time, If the affiliate acquires the second level that means the affiliate has more than 20 successful referrals.
If Anyone purchases a product using the affiliate link and if that affiliate acquires  Level one then the Affiliate will receive 10% of the Product Price.
Same as If Anyone purchases a product using the affiliate link and if that affiliate acquires  Level two then the Affiliate will receive 15% of the Product Price.

After distribution Level Commission which is a part of the Direct commission system will check that if any parent exists of Affiliate or not If Parent exists of Affiliate then MLM came into the picture.

Now MLM commission is going to distribute according to the below image.

Now a parent of the Affiliate holds level 1 and will receive commission set in on level 1 as commission-based is set as Amount earned by the affiliate as commission so the Amount on which parents is going to receive the MLM commission is the commission received by the affiliate.
If the product price is 100$, the Affiliate will receive 10% as direct commission set on the level tab which is 10$.
So MLM commission is going to distribute on the basis of the amount earned by the affiliate as commission which is 10$.
Parents on level 1 will get 20% of 10$.

Parents on level 2 will get 15% of 10$. same flow for the above chain if the parent exists and if the level is set at the MLM tab.
