As follows from the screenshot above, you also have two options to adjust:

  1. Default Referrals Commission. This value will be used for all new affiliates registrations
  2. Program Starting Date. Here you can set the date of your Referral Program’s beginning. In other words, since this particular date, the referral commission will be applied for affiliates (sponsors), who have referrals.

Note: You can edit the commission of selected affiliates manually in his profile

How It Works

Each affiliate has now a new Referrals menu item.
When affiliate opens this page, he can find his personal referral link:

So all new affiliates, who used this link for the registration, will become referrals of this initial affiliate, who provided the link (a Sponsor affiliate). The Sponsor affiliate will receive commission from earnings of his referrals (it will appear on a separate balance):

The percent of this commission depends on the value, which is set for each referral affiliate.
The affiliate can check the list of all referrals along with commissions values also on the Referrals page:

Admin Access

So it is possible to change these values even after affiliates registration.

Note: this could be done neither by Limited Manager nor by Full Access Manager.
Only Admin has access to these properties.
