2-Level Referral System

You earn not only from your direct referrals, but also from users they refer:

  • Level 1 (your referrals): full commission rate (10–50%)
  • Level 2 (referrals of your referrals): additional commission cascades automatically
Example: You refer Alice. Alice refers Bob. Bob spends $1,000/month on Standard (25%).
• Alice earns: $1,000 × 25% = $250/month
• You also earn a commission from Bob's activity — automatically, without doing anything extra.

The deeper the network, the more you earn. All levels are tracked and paid automatically.

FAQ

How do I know my referrals are tracked? +

When someone signs up using your promo link (hikerapi.com/p/YOUR_CODE) or enters your code at registration, they are permanently linked to your account. You can see all your referrals and their activity in real time in the Affiliate Dashboard.

When do I get paid? +

You can request a payout any time once your balance reaches $20 USDT. Go to Affiliate Dashboard → Order Payout. Payouts are processed within 3–5 working days in USDT or USDC (TRC-20 or ERC-20).

Is there an approval process to join? +

No approval needed. Any registered user can create a promo code instantly in the Affiliate Dashboard. Start sharing right away.

What if a referral upgrades or downgrades their plan? +

Your commission automatically adjusts to the referral's current plan. If they upgrade to Business (15%), you earn 15% of their spending. If they downgrade, the rate changes accordingly. The referral stays linked to you forever regardless of plan changes.

How many promo codes can I create? +

Up to 10 active promo codes at a time. You can use different codes for different channels (e.g. one for your blog, one for YouTube) to track which source performs best.
