    I have a customer who wants to do three tier marketing by having a field on the signup form saying this member recommended me to the site. Is that really an affiliate program? If so is the only want to do an affiliate program thru a link on a website? Or can it be done both as a link and as a member recommended me field to cover people that just come straight to the site but were sent by a member? Thanks.

    This is possible but will require two customizations:
    1. Currently amember does not support three tier affiliate programm.
    2. Also "recommended me" field is not supported as well.

    I guess I'm trying to figure out if an affiliate is different from a person that recommended me? The client wants to pay the person that has recommended someone so I guess it is an affiliate. I'm just not sure. Any help would be appreciated. And yes he would like to do it three tiered but I want to get the concept first. Thanks.

    Sure this can be handled by affiliate program. I don't see any difference.
