Frequently Asked Questions

The questions MLM operators actually ask — clawbacks, payout cycles, tree moves, failed DuitNow transfers, stockists, audit logs — answered straight.

Commission engine

Can pairing ratios and rates differ by joining package?

Yes. Per-package rules are standard configuration — e.g. 1:1 pairing for a basic package and 1:2 with a higher cap for premium. The engine reads each member's package and applies their rates, ratios and caps automatically in every cycle.

How are payout cycles scheduled?

However your plan defines them — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom cut-offs like every 1st and 16th. Each run can execute automatically or sit in draft until your finance team reviews the report and approves release.

Can commission percentages change with rank?

Yes. Rank-qualified rates, deeper matching generations for higher ranks, and rank maintenance conditions (personal volume, active legs) are all configurable from your plan document.

What happens when a product is refunded after commission was already paid?

The system supports clawback: the refund generates reversal entries that deduct the paid commission from the member's wallet or future payouts, with the full trail visible on their statement. Whether you claw back, absorb, or partially reverse is your policy — we configure it, not decide it.

Can PV/BV be different from the product's selling price?

Yes — every product carries its own point value separate from price. RM100 product with 60 PV, promo items with bonus PV, zero-PV accessories: all standard.

Can we run limited-time campaigns with extra PV or bonuses?

Yes — time-boxed PV multipliers, fast-start windows and campaign bonuses can be scheduled with start/end dates so they switch on and off without manual intervention.

Genealogy & members

Can an admin manually move a member in the tree?

Yes, with controls: authorised admins can place or relocate members, the system recalculates or flags affected volumes, and every move is written to the audit log — because tree edits are where disputes come from.

Can one person hold multiple positions?

If your plan allows it, yes — multi-position setups (e.g. by package tier) are supported, and positions can be linked under one login so the member switches views instead of juggling accounts.

What happens to the downline when a member is terminated?

Configurable per your plan: compress the downline upward (roll-up), hold the position vacant, or reassign. What matters is that it's a defined rule executed consistently — not an admin improvising in the database.

Can you import our existing members from Excel or an old system?

Yes — member records, genealogy relationships, ranks and wallet balances migrate in from CSV/Excel or a database export. We verify the imported tree and balances against your old records before cutover, and you sign off before going live.

Payouts, wallet & money

How does the DuitNow payout actually execute?

On payout day the system generates the commission run, your admin reviews and approves, and settlement goes out as a bulk payment through your corporate bank's supported channel (bulk file upload or API, depending on the bank). You'll need a corporate account with a Malaysian bank that supports bulk DuitNow credit — most majors do.

What happens if a transfer fails — wrong account number, closed account?

Failed items come back flagged in the payout report instead of disappearing. The amount returns to the member's wallet, the member is prompted to update their bank details, and the admin re-queues the payment. Nothing is silently lost.

Can we set minimum withdrawal amounts and admin fees?

Yes — minimum withdrawal, flat or percentage admin fee, and withdrawal windows (e.g. every Friday) are all configurable, and every deduction is itemised on the member's statement.

Can the system apply deductions like tax withholding before payout?

Yes — configurable deduction lines (admin fees, and any withholding your accountant instructs) are applied at payout and itemised. What to deduct is a question for your tax adviser; making the system execute and document it is ours.

Products, orders & stockists

Does the system include ordering, or does it integrate with our existing store?

Both paths exist. Member and stockist ordering with PV assignment can be built into the portal; alternatively we integrate with an existing WooCommerce or similar store so orders flow in and PV posts to the genealogy automatically. Which route is right depends on your setup — it's scoped in the quote.

Do you support stockists / mobile stockists with their own stock and pricing?

Yes — stockist roles with stock allocation, stockist pricing and sub-ordering are a common part of Malaysian direct-selling builds. Tell us how your physical distribution works and we configure around it.

Admin control & security

Can staff have different access levels?

Yes — role-based access: finance sees payout runs, support sees member records, nobody touches what they shouldn't. Permissions are set per role, per module.

Is there an audit log of admin actions?

Yes — tree moves, manual adjustments, payout approvals and setting changes are logged with who, what and when. When a distributor disputes something six months later, you have the record.

Can finance review a commission run before members see it?

Yes — runs generate in draft: your team checks the totals against expectations, drills into any member's calculation, then approves for release. Nothing pays out un-reviewed unless you choose full automation.

How do we verify the calculations are correct before launch?

You run a parallel test: we execute a real historical cycle through the new engine and you compare the results line-by-line against what you actually paid. Launch happens after the numbers match — not before.

The essentials

Who owns the system once it's built?

You do. Deployed on your hosting, under your domain — codebase and data belong to your company. Not a SaaS subscription that vanishes if we part ways.

What do you need from us to quote?

Your compensation plan in whatever form exists — formal document, old system settings, or notes on how you calculate by hand. We confirm the structure, flag ambiguities, and give a fixed quote and timeline before writing code.

How long from plan document to launch?

A standard single-structure build usually takes a few weeks after the plan is confirmed; hybrid and migration projects take longer. The specific timeline comes with your quote.

Do you help us get the AJL direct selling licence?

Honest answer: no — we build software, we're not licensing consultants. The AJL licence from KPDN is your company's responsibility and deserves proper legal advice. What we provide is a system whose records and reports support running a licensed, compliant operation.
