# Multi-Level Referrals

Fuul supports up to **3 levels** of referral attribution, allowing you to reward not just the direct referrer, but also the affiliates who brought them into the program.

## How it works

| Level       | Who                             | Example                                                   |
| ----------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Level 1** | Direct referrer (the affiliate) | Alice refers Bob                                          |
| **Level 2** | Referrer's referrer             | Carol referred Alice, who referred Bob                    |
| **Level 3** | Third level up the chain        | Dave referred Carol, who referred Alice, who referred Bob |

When Bob converts, all three levels can receive a payout — each with its own amount or percentage, configured in the incentive rules.

## Per-tier multi-level amounts

When using audiences (tiers), each tier can define its own multi-level payout amounts independently. For example:

* **Standard tier**: Level 1 = 5%, Level 2 = 2%
* **VIP tier**: Level 1 = 10%, Level 2 = 5%, Level 3 = 2%

This lets you reward higher-performing affiliates with better rates at every level of their referral chain, not just at the top level.

## Viewing multi-level data

The [Affiliate Dashboard](https://docs.fuul.xyz/developer-guide/affiliate-dashboard) provides multi-level stats that distinguish between referral levels:

| Level                            | Description                                          |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **R1 (referred\_volume)**        | Volume from users directly referred by the affiliate |
| **R2 + R3 (multilevel\_volume)** | Volume from second and third-degree referrals        |
| **Total (total\_volume)**        | Combined R1 + R2 + R3 volume                         |

Affiliates can also view their full referral tree to understand how their network generates value.
