FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to affiliate marketing systems, more particularly the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for assigning a sale commission for a user profile associated with at least one of a product platform and a service platform.

BACKGROUND

[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.

[0003] Generally, with an abundance of goods and services available to consumers through the online marketplace, a seller or merchant must efficiently connect an interested person with the appropriate information pertaining to the desired goods or services. A seller must advertise its Universal Resource Locator (URL) in order to reach those users on the Internet that are interested in the goods or services offered. Online merchants often do this through the use of affiliate marketing networks. In an affiliate network, websites and sellers create affiliate partnerships with others who have users (e.g., visitors or shoppers) with similar interests. Affiliates post-marketing campaigns in the form of links, banner ads, or the like. When the user clicks on the advertisement, an HTML link provides the user with a path or entry point to the seller's URL. Once at the seller's URL, the user may initiate a transaction. Completed transactions, such as a sale, or completion of a sales lead or interest form, are considered “conversions.” In other words, the internet user has converted from someone merely browsing to a customer or customer lead.

[0004] Currently, there may be different affiliate marketing platforms for providing a sale commission to affiliates. However, the affiliate marketing platforms may have limitations including but are not limited to, no / or complicated structures passive commissions, no / or complicated structures residual commissions, high marketing costs, depending on new members, limited product or service list, multiple registrations, admin, marketing budgets, and the like. Further, there may be limitations in direct marketing companies, as the direct marketing companies may need to look for new ways to attract customers. The direct marketing companies may be paid on new sales and not residual commissions which in turn increases the cost of the product for the manufacturers, which leads to an increase in the sale price. Further, the direct marketing companies or online marketplace may require new customers or new sales strategies or better marketing concepts, or price aberrations to keep customers in continuation of purchase, and loyalty in the online marketplace. Further, to keep the loyalty the direct marketing companies or online marketplace may need to introduce more special offers or sale prices which include additional costs of advertising the offers. Due to no customer loyalty, there may be price tampering, customer churning, and the like, in the online marketplace.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for systems and methods for addressing at least the above-mentioned problems in the existing approaches to assign sale commission for a user profile associated with at least one of a product platform and a service platform.

This summary is not intended to identify the key features or the scope of the claimed subject matter. In order to overcome at least a few problems associated with the known solutions as provided in the previous section, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique that may be for managing reproducible machine learning workflows.

[0007] An embodiment of present disclosure includes a method for assigning a sale commission for a user profile associated with at least one of a product platform and a service platform. The method includes providing one or more products and services to one or more first users comprising one or more user profiles. The one or more first users are registered on a registration platform with one or more user profiles as at least one of an affiliate, a marketer, an online franchiser, a retailer, a sponsor, a supplier, and a wholesaler. Further, the method includes generating eventually a forced binary tree structure of the one or more first users, when the one or more first users refer to one or more second users. The forced binary tree structure comprises one or more referral trees based on a time of referring the one or more second users. Furthermore, the method includes determining one or more positions for the one or more second users in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. The one or more positions are determined based on the time of referring the one or more second users by the one or more first users and the position of the one or more first users. Further, the method includes placing the one or more second users based on the determined one or more positions in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. The one or more second users are placed in a top to bottom, and a left to right manner in the forced binary tree structure. Furthermore, the method includes assigning one or more types of a sale commission to the one or more first users and the one or more second users, corresponding to one or more levels of the placed one or more second users in the forced binary tree structure. Additionally, the method includes obtaining a user click, and a conversion behavior data through a product platform and a service platform associated with at least one of the one or more first users and the one or more second users. Further, the method includes calculating a sale commission corresponding to the conversion behavior, one or more levels, and the one or more type of sale commission according to the one or more positions of the at least one of the one or more first users and the one or more second users in the forced binary tree. The sale commission is calculated for the one or more first users who have referred the one or more second users. The commission is calculated for a previous level of one or more levels from a level of the conversion behavior. Furthermore, the method includes assigning the sale commission to each one or more first users, based on the calculated sale commission.

The system 110 when associated with the electronic device 108 or the centralized server 118 may include, but is not limited to, a touch panel, a soft keypad, a hard keypad (including buttons), and the like.

[0034] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may provide one or more products and services to one or more first users 102 comprising one or more user profiles. In an embodiment, the one or more first users 102 are registered on a registration platform with one or more user profiles as at least one of an affiliate, a marketer, an online franchiser, a retailer, a sponsor, a supplier, and a wholesaler. The one or more first users 102 may have registered themselves without any referrals.

[0035] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may generate a forced binary tree structure of the one or more first users 102, when the one or more first users 102 refer to one or more second users 102. The forced binary tree structure includes one or more referral trees based on a time of referring the one or more second users 102. The one or more second users 102 are the users 102 who have been referred by the one or more first users 102. The one or more second users 102 may act as the one or more first users 102, when the one or more second users 102 refer to subsequent one or more second users 102.

[0036] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may determine one or more positions for the one or more second users 102 in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. The one or more positions are determined based on the time of referring the one or more second users 102 by the one or more first users 102 and the position of the one or more first users 102.

[0037] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may place the one or more second users 102 based on the determined one or more positions in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. In an embodiment, the one or more second users 102 are placed in a top to bottom, and a left to right manner in the forced binary tree structure.

[0038] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may assign one or more types of a sale commission to the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102, corresponding to one or more levels of the placed one or more second users 102 in the forced binary tree structure. In an embodiment, the type of sale commission comprises at least one of a self-commission, a direct commission, and a passive commission. In an embodiment, the self-commission is provided, by the processor 112, to the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, when there is a self-conversion behavior and the conversion behavior of the one or more second users 102. For example, the self-commission is only paid to the same user based on the self-conversion behavior of the user. The direct commission is provided, by the processor 112, to the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, based on the direct purchase of the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102. For example, the direct commission may be provided only to the first user on the conversions made by the second user who has been directly referred by the first user. Further, the passive commission is provided, by the processor 112, to the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, based on the one or more levels. For example, the passive commission may be paid to the first user who has a forced binary tree created under the first user, which is based on the number of levels and a total number of affiliates in a first user’s forced binary tree.

[0039] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may obtain a user click and a conversion behavior data through a product platform and a service platform associated with at least one of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102. [0040] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may calculate a sale commission corresponding to the conversion behavior, one or more levels, and the one or more type of sale commission according to the one or more positions of the at least one of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102 in the forced binary tree. In an embodiment, the sale commission is calculated for the one or more first users 102 who have referred the one or more second users 102. The commission is calculated for a previous level of one or more levels from a level of the conversion behavior. In an embodiment, for calculating the sale commission, the processor 112 may receive the conversion behavior data and the one or more types of sale commission from a database. Further, the processor 112 may generate one or more commission reports, based on the received conversion behavior data and the one or more types of sale commission from the database. In an embodiment, the processor 112 may assign the sale commission to each one or more first users 102, based on the calculated sale commission.

[0041] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may provide one or more subscription plans, to the one or more first users 102. Further, the processor 112 may receive a selection from the one or more first users 102 for the provided one or more subscription plans. Furthermore, the processor 112 may assign a passive sale commission to each one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102, based on the calculated sale commission.

[0048] In an embodiment, the determining module 236 may determine one or more positions for the one or more second users 102 in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. The one or more positions may be stored as the position data 212. The one or more positions are determined based on the time of referring the one or more second users 102 by the one or more first users 102 and the position of the one or more first users 102. [0049] In an embodiment, the placement module 238 may place the one or more second users 102 based on the determined one or more positions in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. In an embodiment, the one or more second users 102 are placed in a top to bottom, and a left to right manner in the forced binary tree structure.

[0050] In an embodiment, the assigning module 240 may assign one or more types of a sale commission to the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102, corresponding to one or more levels of the placed one or more second users 102 in the forced binary tree structure. The assign one or more types of a sale commission to the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102 may be stored as the type of sale commission data 214. In an embodiment, the type of sale commission comprises at least one of a self-commission, a direct commission, and a passive commission. In an embodiment, the self-commission is provided, by the processor 112, to the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, when there is a self-conversion behavior and the conversion behavior of the one or more second users 102. The direct commission is provided, by the processor 112, to the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, based on the direct purchase of the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102. Further, the passive commission is provided, by the processor 112, to the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, based on the one or more levels.

[0051] In an embodiment, the obtaining module 242 may obtain a user click and a conversion behavior data through a product platform and a service platform associated with at least one of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102. The obtained user click and a conversion behavior data conversion may be stored as the behavior data 216.

[0052] In an embodiment, the calculating module 244 may calculate a sale commission corresponding to the conversion behavior, one or more levels, and the one or more type of sale commission according to the one or more positions of the at least one of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102 in the forced binary tree. The one or more levels may be stored as the level data 218. In an embodiment, the sale commission is calculated for the one or more first users 102 who have referred the one or more second users 102. The referred one or more second users 102 may be stored as the referral data 220. The commission is calculated for a previous level of one or more levels from a level of the conversion behavior. In an embodiment, for calculating the sale commission, the processor 112 may receive the conversion behavior data and the one or more type of sale commission from a database. Further, the generating module 234 may generate one or more commission reports, based on the received conversion behavior data and the one or more types of sale commission from the database. In an embodiment, the assigning module 240 may assign the sale commission to each one or more first users 102, based on the calculated sale commission. The assigned sale commission may be stored as the sale commission data 222.

[0053] In an embodiment, the processor 112 may provide one or more subscription plans, to the one or more first users 102. Further, the processor 112 may receive a selection from the one or more first users 102 for the provided one or more subscription plans. Furthermore, the assigning module 240 may assign a passive sale commission to each one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102, based on the calculated sale commission.

[0054] FIG. 3A illustrates an exemplary flow diagram representation of a method for commission calculation and generating commission reports, according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0055] At step 304, the method includes, registering, by the processor 112, one or more first users 102 on the registration platform. At step 304, the method includes, providing, by the processor 112, one or more subscription plans to the one or more first users 102 registered on the registration platform. At step 306, the method includes, receiving, by the processor 112, a selection to the one or more subscription plans from the one or more first users 102. At step 308, the method includes, forming, by the processor 112, forced binary tree structure based on the selected one or more subscription plans or the one or more first users 102 referring to one or more second users 102.

[0056] At step 310, the method includes, receiving, by the processor 112, orders from the one or more first users 102 or the one or more second users 102, in the product or service platform. The orders may be stored in a database.

[0057] At step 312, the method includes, calculating, by the processor 112, a sale commission according to a compensation plan, upon receiving the order. The compensation plan includes self-commission, direct commission, and passive commission. The calculated sale commission may be stored in the database. At step 314, the method includes, generating, by the processor 112, commission reports based on retrieving the sale commission and the orders stored in the database. [0058] FIG. 3B illustrates an exemplary tree diagram representation of a forced binary tree structure for calculating the sale commission, according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0059] For example, one or more affiliates may be placed in the forces binary structure in a top to bottom, a left to right manner, based on the time of referring the one or more second users 102 by the one or more first users 102. The processor 112 may calculate, three different types of commissions, as per the compensation plan and generates the report for the commissions. For example, self-commission is a type of commission provided to affiliates for a self-purchase of products/services or purchase of products/services from the one or more second users 102 who have been referred by the one or more first users 102. For instance, a 10 % of the total order amount may be given as cashback to the affiliate called as selfcommission. In an example, if an affiliate or his referred customer does the purchase of $100, the affiliate may receive 10% of this order amount as self-commission i.e., $10 may be provided as self-commission. Subsequently, for example, the processor 112 may provide a reconciliation report for an admin and a member. Further, direct commission may be a commission for direct purchase by the first users 102 or the second users 102. For example, a 15 % of the direct purchase amount may be provided as a direct commission to the first user or the second user. For example, if a direct of affiliate purchases products or services for $100, the affiliate may receive 15% of this order amount as direct commission i.e., $15 may be provided as direct commission. Subsequently, for example, the processor 112 may provide a reconciliation report for an admin and a member. Further, the passive commission, for example, may be provided as per the subscription plan selected by an affiliate. For example, affiliates may select subscription plans on the registration platform during a registration. For example, as per the subscription plan affiliate can build his/her tree and members in a month, as shown in below table 1.

Table 1

The aforementioned numbers are dynamic, and may change based on requirements and the environment. For example, up to 4094 members can be in levels 11, or 25 or 30, or 45, based on a number of members referred by each affiliate in a forced binary tree structure, in a subscription plan A. The 4094 members cannot go below level 11 in a forced binary tree structure. Furthermore, the 16382 members can be in levels 13, or 25 or 30 or 45, 60, and the like, based on a number of members referred by each affiliate in a forced binary tree structure, in a subscription plan B. The 16382 members cannot go below level 13 in a forced binary tree structure. In another example, the 4094 members in level 11 in a month can go to level 20 in the next month based on the number of members referred by the affiliates in that month. The member is a binary value and placed in the top to bottom, left to the right manner in the forced binary tree of the affiliate. If one of the affiliates in level 2 is active in referring members for each month, then the 4094 members may be placed in subsequent levels from the previous levels. The passive commission to affiliates may be only paid for the marketing of 4094 members, for subscription plan A. Further, the passive commission/commission above 4094 members may not be paid to the affiliate, and this is the profit e.g., a company, an e-commerce website, and the like.

[0060] From above table 1, the self-commission of 10%, the direct commission of 15%, and the passive commission of 50% using the amount of the total downline business for the month maximum up to 4094 or 16382 may be divided by a number of levels. In a scenario consider members 4094 or 16382 are at levels 25 or 100, respectively in a January month. In another scenario, for February month, the levels may increase based on the numbers of members referred by the affiliates/marketers. For example, if an affiliate has selected subscription A, and has directly referred 200 team members. In another example, 5000 team members are 30 levels down line in a forced binary tree structure. Accordingly, 4094 members may be 25 levels (e.g., January month) down line in the forced binary tree structure. Considering the total business /orders by these 5000 team members are generating $1000, as a commission a 10%, 15%, and 50% of total business/orders may be calculated for self, direct and passive commission), which is then distributed at each of 25 levels as per the levels defined in subscription plan A, and as per the orders placed by respective users 102 in each of the 25 levels. For example, the 10% self-commission may be based on self-purchases, which may be irrelevant to the number of members and has no relevance to the turnover or commission generated by the team members. i.e., $100 x 10% = $10 (referred as ‘a’)

[0061] Further, the 15% direct commission may imply that 15% of the total commission is generated by the direct referrals of the referrer. Hence, it also does not have much relevance to the total commission generated by the team. i.e., 200 x $100 = $20000

15% x 20000 = $3000 (referred as ‘b’)

[0062] Furthermore, the passive commission may be the only commission that may be calculated based on the total commission collected by the team members in the forced binary tree structure. Which is calculated using the following formula. The 50% of the total commission collected by the team members or a number of levels of the forced binary tree structure. For example, if a person has a team of 5000 team members in his team with 30 levels and has chosen subscription plan A, which allows having only 4094 and all 5000 members have generated $100. The person may be only paid for 4094 members (25 levels). i.e., 100 x 4094 = 409400

409400 x 50% = 204700

204700 / 25 = $8188 (referred as ‘c’) as passive commissions

[0063] Hence, the total commission earned = (a) + (b) + (c) = 10 + 3000 + 8188 = $11198. The passive commission for each affiliate may be calculated based on the number of passive teams under each affiliate and based on the levels under each affiliate. Further, if the downline count exceeds 4094 or 16382, those IDs may not be considered for a passive commission. Maximum down line count considered may be 4094 or 16382. A payout/commission calculation and voucher type may be provided in below table 2.

Table 2

For instance, the self-commission, direct commission, and passive commission may be paid monthly to respective users 102 of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102. However, the commission can be paid daily/weekly as well.

[0064] FIG. 3C illustrates an exemplary flow diagram representation of different levels of one or more first users 102 and one or more second users 102, according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The system 110 may allow all three participants in the financial/marketing ecosystem viz consumer (buyer), seller (supplier), and marketer (individual small business) to be a part of an existing platform. The buyer and the seller can also be the marketers and vice versa, also, the marketer need not be a buyer or a seller. The system 110 allows the participants to participate in the aforementioned roles (3 roles) without any conflict of interest, with a detailed view of leads/commissions, be accountable, get paid for efforts until the sales are made, and have passive referrals working for each participant and get paid residual income allowing ones to be part of the self-fulfilling ecosystem.

[0065] The system 110 may enable commission calculation for the sales or production services marketed by the marketers for digital marketing or offline marketing. The system 110 may be coupled with an existing platform, which is a multi-vendor platform that includes suppliers or vendors, or sellers. For example, the system 110 may be implemented in/coupled to an electronic commerce (e-commerce) platform which includes multi vendors, to pay out a different types of commissions to the one or more first or the one or more second users 102. The suppliers/vendors, or sellers can also be marketers of their products/other’s products. For example, the suppliers/vendors, or sellers of the product can act as a marketer of their product. In another example, the suppliers/vendors, or sellers can act as a marketer for a product of other suppliers/vendors, or sellers.

[0066] Further, the system 110 may assigns commissions in multiple types based on how marketers have contributed to the generation of the forced binary tree. The payment of commission is not restricted to a certain level like the depth of the marketing or the depth of the references. The system 110 allows a person to build a team for a longer duration viz loyal customer base and recurring revenue for every single purchase by self or any member of the team. The system 110 generates revenue for self (marketer/affiliate) and for team members as well. For instance, when a marketer joins the product or service platform, the marketer is a binary value and placed in the top to bottom, left to the right manner in the forced binary tree of a referral marketer. This is a forced binary tree structure. The forced binary tree structure means, that if the affiliate has directly referred to two people, the third person may mostly go into empty space under those two people as the third direct reference. Further, in the forced binary tree structure there may be two people directly under you and the third is spillover which is placed in the next space available in one’s binary tree structure, and so on and so forth. Further, the vendors on the marketplace pay a commission/listing fees to the marketplace to list and market their products and services and that commission is distributed among the marketers. The commission may be generated by the marketplace based on a sale of the product or paid by any single vendor/supplier commission/listing fee to the marketplace. [0067] For example, the self-commission is 10%, the direct commission is 15%, the passive commission is 50%, and a commission to the marketplace is 25%. The aforementioned percentages are dynamic in nature and may be changed as per market requirements. For example, all commissions can be 25% or any number totaling 100% of the commission generated by the marketplace or paid by any single vendor/supplier. In another example, one or more vendors list a mobile phone for $10,000 an amount of $ 100 is generated as a commission by each vendor and may be distributed as commission to the marketer in the below fashion. Further, consider a group of 10 people as shown in FIG.3C, and the following conditions may occur:

Marketers/affiliates are the users 1 - 10 shown in FIG. 3C. For example, DI may be a direct referral of affiliate 1, D2 may be a direct referral of affiliate 2, and so on. The affiliate 1 may directly refer users 2, 3, 7, and 9 (i.e., 4 referrals) as shown in FIG. 3C, and the passive team is 9 (i.e., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) for affiliate 1, and levels are 4 for affiliate 1.

The commission earned by the affiliate 1 may be:

$100x10% (i.e., self-commission) + ((4 (referrals) x $100) x 15% (direct commission)) + ((($100 x 9 (passive team)) x50% (passive commission))/4 (levels)) = 10 + 60 + 112.50 = $182.50 (total commission)

Further, the affiliate 2 may directly refer users 4, 5, and 10 (i.e., 3 referrals), and the passive team maybe 5 (2, 4, 5, 7, and 10) for affiliate 1, and levels are 3 for affiliate 2.

The total commission earned by the affiliate 2 may be:

$100x 10% + ((3 x $100) x 15%) + ((($100 x 5) x 50%)/3) = 10 (self-commission) + 45 (direct commission) + 83.33 (passive commission) = $138.33

Furthermore, the affiliate 3 may directly refer users 6, 8 (i.e., 2 referrals), and the passive team maybe 4 for affiliate 3 and levels are 2 for the affiliate 3.

The commission earned by the affiliate 3 may be:

$100 x 10% + (2x $ 100 x 15%) + ((($100 x 4) x 50%)/2) = 10 + 30 + 100 = $140 Further, the affiliate 4 may not directly refer to any user as shown in FIG. 3C. (i.e., 0 referrals), and the passive team may be 0 for affiliate 4and the levels are 0 for the affiliate 4. Further, there is no passive team under affiliate 4.

The commission earned by the affiliate 4 may be:

100 x 10% + 0 + 0 = $10 (i.e., only self-commission)

Furthermore, the affiliate 5, may not directly refer any user (i.e., 0 referrals). The affiliate 5 is the passive team under the affiliate 2 as shown in FIG. 3C. The passive team may be 2 (i.e., affiliates 7 and 10) for the affiliate 5 and the levels are 2 for the affiliate 5. The commission earned by the affiliate 5 may be:

$100 x 10% + (0*15%) + ((($100 x 2) x 50%)/2) = 10 + 0 + 50 = $60

Further, the affiliate 6 may not directly refer any user (i.e., 0 referrals). The affiliate 6 is the passive team of the affiliate 3 as shown in FIG. 3C., and the passive team may be 2 (i.e., affiliates 8 and 9) for the affiliate 6, and the level is 1 for the affiliate 6.

The commission earned by the affiliate 6 may be:

$100 x 10% + (0x15%) + ((($100 x 2) x 50%)/l) = 10 + 0 + 100 = $110

Further, the affiliate 7 may not directly refer to any user as shown in FIG. 3C. (i.e., 0 referrals). The affiliate 7 is the passive team of the affiliate 5 as shown in FIG. 3C, and the passive team (i.e., affiliate 10) may be 1 for the affiliate 7, and the level is 1 for the affiliate 7. The commission earned by the affiliate 7 may be:

$100 x 10% + (0*15%) + ((($100 x 1) x50%)/l) = 10 + 0 + 50 = $60

Further, the affiliate 8 may not directly refer any user (i.e., 0 referrals), and the passive team maybe 0 and levels are 0 for the affiliate 8.

The commission earned by the affiliate 8 may be:

$100 x 10% + 0 + 0 = $10 (i.e., only self-commission)

Further, the affiliate 9 may not directly refer any user (i.e., 0 referrals), and the passive team maybe 0, and the levels are 0 for the affiliate 9.

The commission earned by the for the affiliate 9 may be:

$100 x 10% + 0 + 0 = $10 (i.e., only self-commission)

Further, the affiliate 10 may not directly refer any user (i.e., 0 referrals), and the passive team may be 0 and the levels are 0 for the affiliate 9.

The commission earned by the affiliate 10 may be:

$100 x 10% + 0 + 0 = $10 (i.e., only self-commission)

[0068] Further, the commission to the platform may be $250. The total revenue (commissions/listing fee paid by sellers) collected by the platform can be:

10 x $100 = $1000

[0069] The self-commission distributed may be $100 (i.e.,

10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10), the direct commission distributed may be $135 (i.e., 60+45+30+0+0+0+0+0+0+0), and the passive commission distributed may be $495.83 (i.e., 112.50+83.33+100+0+50+100+50+0+0+0). This is the structure for one month, and subsequently in the next month if, more people are added the same concept may be repeated. Further, the commission may become more dynamic when multiple products and services are listed on the marketplace/platform. [0070] FIG. 4 illustrates a flow chart depicting a method 400 of assigning a sale commission for a user profile associated with at least one of a product platform and a service platform, according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0071] At block 402, the method 400 may include providing, by the processor 112 associated with the sale commission system 110, one or more products and services to one or more first users 102 comprising one or more user profiles. The one or more first users 102 are registered on a registration platform with one or more user profiles as at least one of an affiliate, a marketer, an online franchiser, a retailer, a sponsor, a supplier, a wholesaler, and the like.

[0072] At block 404, the method 400 may include generating eventually, by the processor 112, a forced binary tree structure of the one or more first users 102, when the one or more first users 102 refer to one or more second users 102. The forced binary tree structure comprises one or more referral trees based on a time of referring the one or more second users 102.

[0073] At block 406, the method 400 may include determining, by the processor 112, one or more positions for the one or more second users 102 in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. The one or more positions are determined based on the time of referring the one or more second users 102 by the one or more first users 102 and the position of the one or more first users 102.

[0074] At block 408, the method 400 may include placing, by the processor 112, the one or more second users 102 based on the determined one or more positions in the one or more referral trees associated with the forced binary tree structure. The one or more second users 102 are placed in a top to bottom, and a left to right manner in the forced binary tree structure.

[0075] At block 410, the method 400 may include assigning, by the processor 112, one or more types of a sale commission to the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102, corresponding to one or more levels of the placed one or more second users 102 in the forced binary tree structure.

[0076] At block 412, the method 400 may include obtaining, by the processor 112, a user clicks, and a conversion behavior data through a product platform and a service platform associated with at least one of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102.

[0077] At block 414, the method 400 may include calculating, by the processor 112, a sale commission corresponding to the conversion behavior, one or more levels, and the one or more type of sale commission according to the one or more positions of the at least one of the one or more first users 102 and the one or more second users 102 in the forced binary tree. The sale commission is calculated for the one or more first users 102 who have referred the one or more second users 102. The commission is calculated for a previous level of one or more levels from a level of the conversion behavior.

[0078] At block 416, the method 400 may include assigning, by the processor 112, the sale commission to each one or more first users 102, based on the calculated sale commission.

[0079] The order in which the method 400 is described is not intended to be construed as a limitation, and any number of the described method blocks may be combined or otherwise performed in any order to implement the method 400 or an alternate method. Additionally, individual blocks may be deleted from the method 400 without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure described herein.
