# Multi-level marketing (MLM)

## How MLM works

* You define the number of levels in your MLM structure.
* Affiliates earn commissions not only from their own referrals but also from the performance of affiliates they invite.
* Commissions are calculated according to the percentage or fixed-rate rules you set for each level.
* The system automatically tracks genealogy, commission flow, and overall network performance.
