The Levels page (/admin/levels) controls the VIP tier system. Each user is assigned to a tier based on their deposit, and the tier determines their commission rate, how many tasks they complete per set, and how many sets they can run per day.
Overview of the VIP tier system
SmartBugMedia uses a 4-tier VIP system. Users activate a tier by depositing the required entry amount. Higher tiers unlock better commission rates and larger task quotas.
Default tier reference
| Level | Entry price | Commission rate | Tasks per set | Sets per day |
|---|
| Junior Agent | $100 | 0.4% | 40 | 3 |
| Intermediate | $500 | 0.6% | 45 | 3 |
| Senior Agent | $1,500 | 0.8% | 50 | 3 |
| Master Agent | $5,000 | 1.0% | 55 | 3 |
The values above are the default configuration. Your platform’s actual tier configuration is live in the database and may have been updated. Check the Levels page for current values.
Level fields
Each VIP tier is defined by the following fields:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|
name | string | Display name for the tier (e.g., “Junior Agent”) |
price | number | Minimum deposit required to activate this tier (USD) |
commission_rate | number | Decimal commission rate applied per task (e.g., 0.004 = 0.4%) |
tasks_per_set | number | Number of tasks in a single set for this tier |
sets_per_day | number | Maximum sets a user at this tier can complete per day |
description | string | Optional description displayed on the tier card |
badge_color | string | Hex color for the tier badge (e.g., #7c3aed) |
Creating a new tier
Click Add tier at the top of the page to open the creation form. Fill in all fields:
- Tier name — a descriptive name users will see
- Activation price — the USD amount required to join this tier
- Commission multiplier — the decimal commission rate (use
0.004 for 0.4%)
- Tasks per set — how many tasks users at this tier complete per set
- Daily sets — how many sets per day users at this tier can run
- Brand color — use the color picker or enter a hex value directly
Click Activate tier to save.
Editing existing tiers
Each tier card has an edit button (pencil icon) and a delete button. Click the edit button to enter inline edit mode directly on the card.
You can update all fields:
- Name — displayed to users on their profile and task screen
- Price — changing this adjusts which users qualify for this tier going forward; existing users are not moved
- Commission rate — takes effect on the next task set for users at this tier
- Tasks per set — changes the set size for users at this tier on the next set reset
- Sets per day — controls daily task capacity
- Description — optional flavor text shown on the tier card in the admin
Click Save to apply changes.
Changes to commission_rate, tasks_per_set, or sets_per_day take effect for all users at that tier. Test carefully before updating a production tier.
Deleting a tier
Click the trash icon on a tier card and confirm the prompt to permanently delete the tier. Users currently assigned to a deleted tier will have level_id pointing to a non-existent record — reassign them first before deleting the tier.
Deleting a tier is permanent. Make sure no users are assigned to the tier before deleting it.
How tiers relate to task items
Task items in the platform are assigned a level_id field that maps them to a specific tier. When a user runs a task set, the system pulls items assigned to their tier. If you add a new tier, you must also populate task items for that tier from the Tasks page before users can complete sets on it.
