Q: Tiers vs MLM / Affiliate Max — Best Fit Guidance
I’m looking to track referrals, set commissions for direct and indirect referrals (2 tiers), and connect with FluentCRM, FluentForms (Stripe for payment), and FluentCommunity which is where my product offers (5) live. I believe the universal Form integration you have should work to trigger everything. Would Plan 3 support this setup, or is MLM (Tier 8+) required for the indirect payments? Also, tier 3 says affiliates up to 700 and then below, unlimited affiliates. Can you explain the difference those features? Lastly, since I will be purchasing a lifetime license, do you plan to phase lifetime license holders into monthly should their business revenue grow past their initial choice - Tier 3 being capped at $50K. I am sorry for so many questions. I can copy to support email if you prefer.
Thank you for helping me choose wisely!

Thanks for reaching out.
Firstly, we do not support FluentCRM, however if you have a form in your site that takes users in, then you can use the universal forms integration, and use stripe to track payments or recurring payments.
MLM is required to perform any multi-level commissions between affiliates. Just to be clear, all, I've made affiliates limit unlimited for all appsumo users.
If a user holds an LTD tier with a capped revenue limit, if they hit that revenue limit for the month, they can either:
- buy new codes on Appsumo to upgrade
- wait for the next month
- In the case that we've stopped selling lifetime plans then yes they will have to upgrade to a monthly plan.
Best regards
Thank you so much. So in this case, I use FluentForms which stripe is integrated. Can you tell me what the Tiers feature allows us to build and put in place?
All integrations are available on every tier.
Best regards
