Frequently asked
Is a multi-tier affiliate program legal?
Yes. A multi-tier affiliate program is legal when commissions are paid only on real product sales and tier depth is reasonable. Override pays commission strictly on sales, never on sign-ups or recruitment, and keeps tier depth bounded (up to 10).
Is this an MLM?
No. MLM schemes pay people for recruiting others and often require buy-ins. Override has no joining fee, no buy-in, and pays nothing for recruitment — only a small override on the actual sales a recruited affiliate generates.
Do you pay for recruitment?
Never. Recruitment itself earns nothing. An affiliate only earns an override when the partner they recruited makes a real sale.
How does discount-code attribution work?
Each affiliate gets a unique Shopify discount code and a referral link. When a customer buys with that code — or after clicking the link, via a last-click Web Pixel — Override attributes the order and computes commissions across your tiers automatically.
What does Override cost?
A flat monthly fee: $19 Starter, $49 Growth, or $99 Scale — with a free trial. You never give away a percentage of your referral sales.
Override is the flat-fee multi-tier affiliate app for Shopify.
For merchants who don't want to give away a percentage of their referral sales.
