How does the referral program work?
The process of the referral program in multi level marketing software is straightforward and primarily consists of two methods.
The first method is by using a replica link.
In this method, each distributor is assigned a unique username in the MLM software, and the system automatically generates a link containing their username, known as a replica link.
For instance, if your username is ‘albert’,
your referral link or replica link would be: https://domain.com/username=albert.
When individuals click on this link and proceed, they automatically join under you on the MLM network. Consequently, you receive referral commissions.
The second method involves using a product link.
Within our MLM software, each product is assigned a unique ID and link. Distributors can easily share these product links within their circle.
When someone makes a purchase by clicking on your shared product link, they become part of your network, and you earn referral commissions accordingly.

How to Track and Monitor Referrals in MLM Software ?
Each member in our network marketing software is provided with a unique referral link, ensuring accurate referral tracking.
The distributor has a dedicated referral dashboard where they can see the new referrals, as well as the commissions earned from each referral. As soon as new referrals join, they are seamlessly updated into the network, and distributors can monitor real-time updates on our genealogy tree.
What is Referral Commission?
Referral commission is earned when a distributor directly refers a new customer who subsequently joins the MLM program. This commission may be a flat amount or a percentage of the purchased product or services.
Example of referral commission :
Let’s create an example scenario to illustrate how referral commissions work in an MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) program:
Company XYZ sells health and wellness products through an MLM business model. Emily is a distributor for Company XYZ, and she earns commissions by selling products directly to customers and recruiting new distributors into the program.
Now, let’s say Emily refers her friend, Sarah, to join the MLM program as a distributor. Sarah is excited about the opportunity and decides to sign up under Emily’s referral link.
Upon signing up, Sarah purchases a starter kit worth $200 to begin her journey as a distributor. Company XYZ offers a referral commission of 10% on the starter kit purchase to the referring distributor (Emily, in this case).
So, Emily earns a referral commission of $20 (10% of $200) for referring Sarah to join the MLM program. This commission is typically paid out according to the company’s commission payout schedule, which could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
In this example, Emily benefited from referring to Sarah, not only by expanding her downline but also by earning a commission on Sarah’s initial purchase. This incentivizes distributors like Emily to actively recruit new members into the MLM program.
