You refer someone who becomes a Kartra affiliate. From then on, Kartra pays you 10% recurring connected to their activity, separately from the 20 to 40% recurring by sales tier you earn on your own referrals.
Worked example
Say an average Kartra plan is $97 a month. You refer 10 paying accounts yourself and recruit 5 affiliates who each refer 4 paying accounts.
Tier 1: 10 accounts x $29 = $290 a month
Tier 2: 20 accounts through your recruits x $10 = $200 a month
Total: $490 a month, repeating while those accounts stay active

Pros
Tier 1 pays 20 to 40% recurring by sales tier.
A real second tier exists, which most tools do not offer.
Commissions repeat while the account stays active.
Rates come from the program's own page.
Cons
Your tier 1 rate rises with volume. The 10% second tier is paid on your recruits' sales.
Short 30 day cookie punishes long buying cycles.
Who it fits
Kartra suits you if your audience already needs funnels/courses software and you can show the product in use. The second tier only matters if you also reach other
affiliates, through a course, a community or a newsletter about making money online. If
you never recruit affiliates, judge this program on its first tier alone.
