Capabilities

Turning "Existing Customers" into a "Distribution Army"

From distributor registration and promotional-asset generation to commission settlement and withdrawal, the whole chain is a fully managed closed loop

👥 Two-Tier Distribution Relationships

A refers B, B refers C; when C orders, A earns a tier-2 commission and B a tier-1 commission; anything beyond tier 3 is compliantly blocked to avoid pyramid-scheme disputes

💵 Flexible Commission Calculation

Configure commission rates by three-layer rules — product / category / store-wide — with controllable stacking priority; commissions can be cash / balance / points (pick one)

🖼️ Promotional Poster Generation

One-click generate a dedicated promotional poster from the product detail page (with QR code + distributor nickname + recommendation line) — save it and post straight to your feed

🎁 Refer-a-Friend

When a new user's first order completes, the referrer instantly gets an $X cash red packet + double points; the invitee also gets a $50 new-user coupon — two-way incentives

📊 Distributor Center

A dedicated distributor mini-program workspace: today's orders / pending / booked / my team / withdrawal history all at a glance

💰 Withdrawal Review

Distributors initiate withdrawals, with two-tier review by operations / finance, settling to WeChat wallets; abnormal-account blocking + configurable risk thresholds

Two-Tier Distribution, Compliant and Controllable

Distribution beyond tier 3 is a red line in China. We cap distribution at two tiers, and each distributor's "upline" can be unbound within 30 days of binding, then fixed thereafter. All commission calculation only considers tier 2 and below — no commissions and no relationships are computed beyond that, keeping the compliance line firmly held.

  • A 30-day protection period after binding, with the option to actively unbind and switch uplines
  • No commission beyond tier 2 (system-enforced blocking)
  • Distributor applications require operations review, with configurable thresholds
  • The distribution relationship chain is fully traceable, grounding financial reconciliation

Promotional Posters: Let Distributors "Promote with a Screenshot"

A floating "Generate Promotional Poster" button always sits in the bottom-right of the product detail page. A distributor taps it, a polished poster with their dedicated QR code is generated in 10 seconds, and a screenshot is ready to post to their feed / WeChat groups. Orders from invitees who scan in are auto-attributed to the promoter.

  • 10+ poster templates to pick from by industry style
  • Posters include product image / price / referrer nickname / dedicated QR code
  • Scanning into the mall auto-binds the distribution relationship for accurate order attribution
  • Invitation records are traceable, visualizing each distributor's promotion track record

T+0 Commission Settlement: "Seeing the Money" Motivates Distributors

What distributors fear most is "selling but never seeing the commission". We get commissions credited the moment an order is confirmed received (with a 7-day refund protection period), syncing to the distributor's mini-program workspace at second level — how much they sold yesterday, how much came in today, visible per order.

  • Commissions auto-booked once an order is confirmed received / after the after-sales period ends
  • Commissions can be cash-withdrawn / converted to balance / exchanged for points — flexible
  • Team commissions / direct-referral commissions / same-tier rewards tallied separately
  • Monthly commission reports auto-generated, saving finance time at month-end reconciliation
Use Cases

How Different Formats Run Distribution & Referral

Beauty & Personal Care Communities

A KOC posts a swatch poster to their feed; once a friend opens it and orders, the KOC automatically earns a 10% commission, tripling the monthly new-customer conversion rate.

Mother & Baby Community Leaders

A community leader builds a group recommending formula, earning $30 commission per order; tier-2 moms recommend colleagues, and the leader earns a 5% tier-2 cut — community virality grows exponentially.

Course Distribution

An instructor's friends share a $199 course, earning $60 commission per referral that converts; top distributors earn over $10K a month, spontaneously boosting performance.

Employee Referral Perks

Company employees register as internal distributors; recommend a customer to buy and 5% cash returns to the employee's bonus account per order, activating company-wide selling.
