# Multi Level

The **Multi-Level** tab allows you to set up a multi-level affiliate network for your program. It enables your affiliates to recruit new affiliates under them. Furthermore, the parent affiliate will earn a commission on the sales generated by their downline affiliates.

### Recruitment Mode

In the Recruitment Mode section, you can choose to set up either a **unilevel** or a **forced matrix** tree structure for your multi level affiliate network.

<figure><img src="https://1200686697-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LdPzLtyP46oY7cyXnkw%2Fuploads%2FNktBo24WLHHya9uld5ja%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=010d532a-8dd8-4543-ae7a-7663244380c3" alt=""><figcaption><p>Recruitment Mode</p></figcaption></figure>

The **forced matrix** structure can be set to restrict the width and depth of the affiliate network.&#x20;

* The unilevel structure is the default configuration.
* You can switch to the forced matrix structure from the Recruitment Mode section and set your matrix width and depth (for example, a 3x5 matrix).
* To set a binary configuration, you can set the width as two and keep the depth option empty.
