The Direct Referral Rate (The rate used when an affiliate refers a sale themselves) is set in Affiliates > Settings > General. That’s the amount listed in your screenshot of the Affiliates list in WP Admin.
The Per-Level Rates only apply to Indirect Referrals (Commissions paid to the Upline Parent Affiliates when one of their Sub Affiliates refers a sale).
Please take a look at the MLM Documentation for an in-depth explanation of how these settings work:

I have a question (refer to the screenshot13.png) if test4 refers 1 purchase and test5 refers another purchase will I get 2 level 5 commissions or 1 level 4 commission and 1 level 5 commission?
and also I have integrated lifetime commissions does this mean that all referred affiliates that purchases anything in the future will give me a commission rate based on my level?
the commission rates for each level:
level 1: 1%
level 2: 1%
level 3: 2%
level 4: 3%
level 5: 5% -

You will receive 1 Indirect Commission for Level 4 and 1 Indirect Commission for Level 5.
Yes, MLM integrates with Lifetime Commissions. In Affiliates > Settings > Integrtions, enable the Sync Lifetime Affiliate setting. I recommend using the Parent as Lifetime Affiliate option.
And yes, the Indirect Commission rates set Per-Level will apply for all future sales. Just make sure that you do not enable the Lifetime Commissions Rate, as this will override your Indirect Rates (Per-Level).

In your message, you mentioned that you are unable to generate any commissions at all. Which of the supported integrations are you using (WooCommerce, Paid Memberships Pro, etc.)?
MLM can only generate Indirect Commissions if the core AffiliateWP plugin creates the Direct Commission. So make sure that you have the integrations enabled in Affiliates > Settings > General and Affiliates > Settings > MLM.

And what commission rate do you have set in Affiliates > Settings > General (The Direct Rate)?

In Affiliates > Settings > Integrations, do you have the Lifetime Affiliate Sync feature enabled? If not, please set this to Parent as Lifetime Affiliate. It will ensure that after the affiliate/customer is referred initially, they will be the Lifetime Customer (And Sub Affiliate) of the person that referred them (The Parent Affiliate).
Understand that the affiliate must actually refer the customer/affiliate first, whether it’s using a Referral Link, or Affiliate Coupon. This is what will trigger the assignment of the Lifetime Customer.
Are you testing using referral links?
Another thing that you can do for your next test, is press the Sync All button in the Integrations Tab. After you’ve enabled the Parent as Lifetime Affiliate option, press that button and all future purchases made or referred by the Sub Affiliates will generate a commission for the Parent Affiliates as well.
Let me know how it works after these changes.

Yes, MLM integrates with Lifetime Commisisons so that, if Affiliate A refers Affiliate B (A Direct Referral), Affiliate A will earn a Direct Commission from Affiliate B’s Purchases. When Affiliate B refers Affiliate C, Affiliate A earns an Indirect Commission when Affiliate C makes a Purchase, and Affiliate B earns the Direct Commission.
Lifetime Commissions ensures that whenever a customer/affiliate is referred by an affiliate, that affiliate receives credit for all future purchases. MLM just applies this to Sub Affiliates as well.

Hi there,
I’m so sorry for getting back to you so late. I had a family emergency and I needed to head out of town suddenly. This threw off my schedule for projects and support.
Things have been really crazy with COVID-19, but the good news is, everything is fine now, and I’m back in the office getting caught up on everything.
I will need to investigate this further on your site. Can you please provide me with admin-level login credentials (Username, Email, and Login URL)?
Also, I didn’t receive the screenshots you mentioned, could you send that to me via email as well at: propluginmarketplace[at]gmail[dot]com
