A selection, from the user device, of a product(s) or service(s) associated with the search results may be received. A service fee(s) for a transaction(s) associated with the selected product(s) or service(s) may be determined. A referral fee(s), based on the service fee(s), responsive to determining that one or more entities referred the product(s) or service(s) associated with the transaction(s) may be determined. A level(s) assigned to each of the one or more entities and a predetermined referral fee percentage(s), based on the service fee(s), for the level(s) assigned to each of the one or more entities may be determined.
