Sub-affiliates: let affiliates invite affiliates and earn on their sales

Turn on sub-affiliates in Rastro: each affiliate gets an invite link and earns a percentage of what their invitees earn, paid by the network.

Updated on 25 Oct 2026

Sub-affiliates let your affiliates grow your network for you. Each affiliate gets an invite link; whoever signs up through it becomes their sub-affiliate, and the inviter earns a percentage of what the sub-affiliate earns.

How the commission works

  • The inviter earns a percentage of the payout of each approved conversion of their sub-affiliate.
  • It's paid by the network, from its margin. The sub-affiliate still earns exactly the same.
  • If the conversion is later reversed or rejected, exactly what was given to the inviter is taken back.
  • One level only: an inviter doesn't earn on their invitees' invitees. This keeps the program simple and avoids pyramid schemes.

Turning it on

  1. Go to Settings → Sub-affiliates and turn it on.
  2. Choose the network's commission percentage (up to 50%).
  3. Optionally, give a specific affiliate their own percentage on their profile page.

Sub-affiliates are available from the Growth plan.

What affiliates see

Affiliates find Sub-affiliates in their menu, with their invite link, the affiliates they invited and what they've earned from them this month and in total. New sign-ups through the link still need approval by your team, as usual.

Good practice

  • Start with a modest percentage (3–5%) and raise it for your best recruiters.
  • Review new sub-affiliates as carefully as any other sign-up: the fraud checks apply to them too.
