Who is direct selling ecommerce software for?
Direct selling ecommerce software fits direct-selling and product-led businesses where retail product sales — not leg-balancing or width management — is what drives revenue. It suits teams that need a managed catalog, real orders, inventory status, and replicated distributor websites where each distributor can sell from a branded online store without building their own ecommerce site.
Choose direct selling when you want commissions tied to what was actually sold, with a store and order history your operations team can reconcile. If your business needs a capped two-leg tree, a fixed grid, an unlimited frontline level system, or a single chain, binary, matrix, unilevel or monoline is the closer fit — and you can still layer product sales on top of any of them. The compensation-plans hub compares all supported plans.
What is direct selling MLM software?
Direct selling MLM software manages a compensation and commerce workflow built around products first. Orders, volume, and replicated store attribution determine what is paid — not only where a member sits in a placement tree. The same platform can run standalone (product catalog → orders → inventory → sales commissions → e-wallet payouts, with no genealogy at all) or layered (the sales-commission layer on top of a network structure where your plan requires it).
That flexibility is why direct selling is not a genealogy plan in the same sense as binary or matrix. A binary is always two-legged with spillover; a matrix is always width×depth; a unilevel is always unlimited frontline depth-capped; a monoline is always one chain. Direct selling defines what was sold and through which store — whether any genealogy sits underneath is a configuration choice you make with MLM Bazaar, not a fixed property of the model.
Two records are kept separately so store attribution and referral attribution never get mixed:
- Record 1 · store Store owner (attribution) The distributor whose replicated store generated the sale. Commission links back to the store and the product sold.
- Record 2 · optional Sponsor (referral) Who referred the distributor — used only where a genealogy or bonus layer is configured on top of product sales.
Standalone setups use store attribution only — no placement tree or referral record is needed. Layered setups keep both records, so product commissions and any network commissions reconcile to the same order.
How do catalog, orders, and sales commissions work?
Commissions are calculated on product order volume for the payout cycle — each product or product category has a rate you define, applied to the volume value for that order. Replicated-site sales, direct company orders, and distributor-placed orders are tracked separately but feed the same commission calculation, so store attribution is visible and reconcilable.
The illustration below uses sample values only to show the logic. It is not an earnings projection; your actual catalog, rates, capping and cycle come from your plan document and product sheet and are tested on the demo — and you run the checks.
| Input | Sample value |
|---|---|
| Products configured | Category A (2 products), Category B (1 product) |
| Order 1 — Category A via replicated store (distributor D12) | 2 units × 250 BV = 500 BV |
| Order 2 — Category B via company site | 5 units × 100 BV = 500 BV |
| Commission rate on Category A (configured) | 10% of category A product volume |
| Commission rate on Category B (configured) | 8% of category B product volume |
| Capping (per member, per cycle) | As per your plan, e.g. 20,000 |
| Payout cycle | Weekly (configurable) |
| Step | Logic | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Capture orders | Orders placed through replicated store (attributed to selling distributor's store) + direct orders | Order volume available by product and category for the cycle |
| 2. Map volume | Sum qualified product volume per product and category using your volume labels (BV / SV / PV as you use them) | Category-wise qualified volume for the cycle |
| 3. Apply rates | 10% on Category A volume (500 BV → 50) + 8% on Category B volume (500 BV → 40) | Gross sales commission per category (illustrative: 90 before capping) |
| 4. Attribute store sales | Replicated-store order credited via store attribution; no leg or grid placement involved | Commission linked back to the selling distributor's store and the product sold |
| 5. Apply capping & cycle | Total compared to per-member cap (e.g. 20,000); payout posts per your weekly cycle to e-wallet | Capped amount payable this cycle; excess handled per your plan |
The same logic applies whether you run standalone (no genealogy) or layered on a network — standalone pays only on product orders; layered pays product sales plus any network layer you configure separately. Commission is on product volume sold, not on a weak-leg or level-position calculation.
How does direct selling compare to binary, matrix, unilevel, and monoline plans?
Direct selling is product-volume-driven; the four genealogy plans are placement-driven. The table below is the boundary your team uses to choose.
| Setting | Direct selling / ecommerce (this page) | Unilevel | Binary | Matrix | Monoline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay trigger | Product orders and category volume (store-attributed) | Level position beneath each distributor | Weaker-leg pair volume | Grid level volume within width×depth | Chain level volume |
| Placement needed? | Optional — standalone or layered on any network | Direct under sponsor, unlimited width | Two legs + rule-based spillover | Fixed width/depth + breadth-first spillover | Single chain, bottom-append |
| Commerce surface | Catalog, inventory, orders, replicated websites, e-wallet | Orders typically via separate commerce layer | Same — orders typically separate from genealogy | ||
| Genealogy limits | None required — no leg/grid/chain limits | Depth-capped, unlimited width | No depth cap, 2 legs | Width×depth capped | Single queue |
| Primary use | Retail product-sales businesses | Product + team level payouts | Team-balance driven growth | Predictable grid teams | Simplest chain teams |
Direct selling can be combined with any of the four genealogy plans — for example, product-sales commissions plus a unilevel level layer. That combination is scoped as product sales + the chosen network layer. See custom plan development for hybrid mechanics.
What direct selling rules can MLM Bazaar configure?
Every parameter below is set to match your plan document and product sheet. Nothing is fixed to a single default — any of the mentioned parameters can be configured:
- Catalog and categories: product list, category structure, SKU and pricing labels as you use them.
- Inventory and orders: stock visibility, order creation and status handling for replicated-store and direct orders.
- Replicated websites: branded distributor store instance, catalog shown, domain/path per your setup, store attribution for each sale (replicated website).
- Sales commissions: category-wise or product-wise volume rate, fixed or percentage, tiered where your plan requires.
- Volume and commission labels: the terminology your business uses (commonly BV, SV, or PV) is configured to match, not fixed to one convention.
- Capping: maximum payout per member, per cycle — configurable per your plan (flat global cap or product-category cap).
- Payout cycle: daily, weekly, monthly, or another cycle you define.
- E-wallet and payouts: sales-commission credit to e-wallet and payout-cycle posting, traceable to the order that produced it.
- Layered network (optional): where you need a genealogy, it is configured as a separate layer — standalone product sales and product-sales-plus-network are both supported.
How is the direct selling plan tested before it goes live?
There is no separate sandbox that diverges from what you ship. Your rules and products are configured on the working demo and what you and your team test is what goes live. Typical steps:
- You share your plan rules and product data — catalog categories, product-wise volume and commission rates, replicated site and branding needs, capping, payout cycle, volume labels, and whether you need a standalone or layered setup.
- We map the rules and confirm what is standard scope vs custom scope and integrated scope (payment gateway, SMS, WhatsApp, CRM etc.) — PG/SMS/CRM are separately scoped.
- The catalog, inventory, orders, replicated sites, and sales-commission rules are configured on the working demo.
- Sample products and sample orders are added — replicated-store orders, direct orders, and category-varied orders including edge cases.
- Sales commissions, capping, e-wallet credits, and payout-cycle behaviour are run and checked against your plan document — you and your team run the checks.
- Reports are checked: catalog and inventory views, orders, replicated-site sales, commission ledger, and e-wallet/payout history.
- Corrections are made and re-tested with you.
- The approved configuration is prepared for production launch. Typical test-to-production is 3-7 days once scope, assets, and approvals are ready — not a guaranteed promise for every project.
What reports and payout visibility are available?
- Catalog and inventory view — products and categories, stock and order status
- Order reports — order history, category volume, store-attributed sales (replicated site vs direct)
- Replicated-site sales view — store-wise orders and attribution
- Sales-commission ledger — traceable back to the order, product, store and volume that produced it
- E-wallet and payout history — credits per cycle, capped volume, payout status
- Capped volume report
Admins see full catalog, order and sales visibility. Distributors see reporting scoped to their own store and downline where a layered network is present. That scoping is also where support matters: standard support during office hours, 24×7 for emergencies.

What is included in the Rs 19,999 starting scope?
The table below reflects three confirmations: Rs 19,999 = setup plus first year; PG/SMS/CRM are extra scoped; ecommerce performance is qualified and ecommerce-specific. The exact wording must still match the service agreement.
| Included in Rs 19,999 (setup + Year 1) | Scoped and quoted separately |

| Product catalog and category setup at your configured structure | Non-standard catalog mechanics or custom product-type logic beyond standard setup |
| Inventory and order management for product-sales orders | Custom inventory, fulfillment, or logistics integrations beyond standard order management |
| Replicated distributor websites / stores per your branding (attributed sales) | Custom storefront design, custom domain routing, or storefront logic beyond standard replicated template |
| Sales-based commissions on product volume with your rates and labels (BV / SV / PV as you use them) | Genealogy or additional bonus layer on top of product sales (for example, layering on a unilevel network) |
| Configurable capping and payout cycle per your plan | Custom capping or custom payout-cycle logic beyond standard configuration |
| E-wallet and payout history for sales commissions | Payment gateway, SMS, and WhatsApp integrations; CRM, ERP or other third-party integrations |
| Working demo, configuration, and testing before launch — you test | Data migration and special data work |
| Hosting, domain, and support for the first year — standard hours, 24×7 for emergencies | From Year 2: hosting, domain, and support renew annually (per service agreement); taxes and third-party charges |
What does MLM Bazaar need from you?
Before configuration starts, we ask for your actual plan rules and product data — catalog categories, product-wise volume and commission rates, inventory approach, replicated site and branding needs, capping and payout cycle, volume labels, and whether you need a standalone product-sales setup or one layered on a network — so our team has full end-to-end knowledge of what you are building before anything is configured. If you are still finalising the plan itself, we walk through the standard product-sales structure with you first and configure from there. The demo is where mismatches surface, not after launch.

Frequently asked Questions
What is direct selling MLM software?
Direct selling MLM software manages product-based sales where commissions are tied to product orders and sales volume, not just network placement. MLM Bazaar provides catalog, inventory, order management, replicated distributor websites, and e-wallet payouts — runnable as pure product sales with no genealogy, or layered on a network structure where your plan requires it.
How are commissions calculated in a direct selling plan?
Commissions are calculated on product order volume for the cycle — each product or category has a rate you define, applied to the BV, SV or PV volume for that order, including replicated-site attributed sales. Capping, your volume labels, and the payout cycle then determine what is paid. The exact rates and cycle are set to match your plan document and tested on the demo.
Does direct selling require a binary, matrix, or other genealogy?
No. A direct selling setup can run with no placement tree at all — product sales alone. Where your business wants both product sales and a network, the sales-commission layer sits on top of or alongside the genealogy of your choice. The compensation-plans hub compares all supported structures.
What is a replicated website in direct selling?
A replicated website is a branded online store instance assigned to a distributor that shows your catalog and routes orders, inventory, and commission attribution back to the central system. Each store uses your product data and pricing but tracks which distributor's store generated the sale.
What is the difference between direct selling and binary or unilevel plans?
Direct selling pays on product sales volume and orders (with catalog, inventory, and replicated stores), with genealogy optional. Binary, matrix, unilevel, and monoline pay on genealogy placement rules — two legs, fixed grid, unlimited frontline, or single chain — and their placement mechanics are not required for a direct selling setup.
Is a direct selling MLM plan legal in India?
MLM Bazaar builds and configures the software; we do not certify that a specific business model or plan complies with Indian law. The Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules, 2021, prohibit pyramid and money-circulation schemes. See our compliance guide, and confirm your specific plan with a qualified legal professional.
What's included in the Rs 19,999 starting scope, and what renews after Year 1?
Rs 19,999 covers the standard direct selling setup — product catalog and categories, inventory and order management, replicated distributor websites, sales-based commissions on product volume with your labels, capping, payout cycle, e-wallet and payout history, working demo and testing — plus hosting, domain, and support for the first year. From Year 2, hosting, domain, and support renew annually per the service agreement. Payment gateway, SMS and WhatsApp integrations, CRM or ERP integrations, custom catalog or storefront logic, genealogy or bonus layers on top of product sales, and data migration are scoped separately.
How do I see the direct selling plan working before committing?
We configure your direct selling rules and products on a working demo you and your team test directly — listing products, placing sample orders through replicated and direct channels, running sales-commission and payout cycles, and checking order, store, and e-wallet reports — before anything moves to production. What you test is what goes live.
What does MLM Bazaar need from us to configure the direct selling plan?
Your actual plan rules and product data — catalog categories, inventory approach, product-wise volume and commission rates, replicated site and branding needs, capping, payout cycle, volume labels, and whether you need a standalone product-sales setup or one layered on a network. If you are still finalising, we walk through the standard product-sales structure with you first.
Can I use the same system for retail product sales and a network plan later?
Yes. You can launch as product-sales-only and add a network commission layer later, or launch with both from day one. Adding or changing a genealogy or bonus layer after launch is a scoped change — discuss timing and data approach with MLM Bazaar before making the change.
