Run your MLM business on Shopify — and let MLM Soft handle everything Shopify wasn't built to do.

Shopify is one of the best storefronts on the market, but it has no concept of a distributor network, a compensation plan, or a commission run. MLM Soft closes that gap with its own Shopify app: install it to connect your store to your MLM Soft account, and every order, signup, and payment starts flowing into MLM Soft in real time — turned into placement, volume, and commission automatically, with no manual reconciliation.

Shopify is built to sell — checkout, payments, shipping, and inventory are all handled well out of the box. What it can't do natively is calculate who gets paid what when a distributor's referral makes a purchase.

How the integration works

MLM Soft connects to Shopify through its own Shopify app, which links your store to your MLM Soft account and sets up Shopify's webhook system rather than periodic API polling. Once connected, Shopify pushes an event to MLM Soft the moment it happens, so your compensation data is never more than a few seconds behind your storefront.

01

Install the MLM Soft app on your Shopify store to connect it to your MLM Soft account.

02

A customer signs up or checks out through a distributor's referral link on your Shopify store.

03

Shopify fires a webhook — new customer, order created, payment captured — the instant the event occurs.

04

MLM Soft receives the webhook and places the new customer in the correct spot in your distributor's downline, using your existing genealogy rules.

05

The order's value is recorded as personal and group volume, and MLM Soft's compensation engine runs your plan — unilevel, binary, matrix, breakaway, or a hybrid you've configured — to calculate the resulting commissions and bonuses.

06

Results appear immediately in each distributor's back office: updated volume, updated rank, updated wallet balance.

MLM Soft Shopify Integration App

What you get

A dedicated Shopify app

Install the MLM Soft app from the Shopify App Store to connect your store; no manual webhook configuration needed on your side.

Real-time commission calculation

Orders are converted into commissions and bonuses within seconds of checkout, using MLM Soft's full compensation plan engine (unilevel, binary, matrix, breakaway, and hybrid plans).

Automatic network placement

New customers who arrive through a referral link are placed into the correct distributor's downline without manual entry.

Live volume and rank tracking

Personal and group volume update the moment an order is captured, so rank advancement and qualification are always current.

No polling delays

Webhook-based sync means MLM Soft reacts to store events immediately, rather than checking Shopify on a timer.

One compensation engine across every channel

The same plan that governs your Shopify sales also governs offline sales, subscriptions, and any other channel connected to MLM Soft, so distributors are compensated consistently everywhere.

Who it's for?

Any MLM or direct-selling company that sells — or wants to sell — through a Shopify storefront while running distributor compensation through MLM Soft. This includes brands migrating an existing Shopify store into an MLM model, and MLM companies adding Shopify as a new retail or subscription channel alongside their existing online office.

FAQ

MLM Soft Shopify Integration Questions

  • Do we need custom development to connect Shopify?

    The platform automatically calculates the quantity of active distributor accounts in your network on a daily basis. It only counts the number of those accounts which had any commercial activity in last 3 months (made a purchase or get a bonus). The number of positions for each account does not affect the calculation of the number of accounts. Once the number of your accounts exceeds the limit allowed by your subscription plan, the billing platform will immediately upgrade your plan to based on the number of your accounts. At the end of month, the billing platform will charge you according to the new subscription plan.

  • Where do we get the app?

    The preferred payment method is use of your VISA or MasterCard credit or debit card. Your card’s currency does not matter; all payments are made in US dollars, and an automatic currency conversion will be made when needed. You can connect your card to your subscription account and our billing system will charge you automatically each month, so you can be sure that your access to the platform will remain uninterrupted. If it is not convenient for you to pay by credit card, we can invoice you on a monthly basis.

  • What happens if a customer isn't referred by a distributor?

    Direct, non-referred purchases are recorded as regular sales and can still count toward company-wide reporting; they simply don't generate downline placement or referral commissions, exactly as configured in your compensation plan.

  • Can we run more than one Shopify store?

    Yes — MLM Soft's open architecture supports multiple storefronts (including a mix of Shopify, WooCommerce, and other platforms) feeding into a single compensation engine and a single distributor network.

  • Does this affect our existing Shopify checkout, apps, or theme?

    No. The integration listens to store events; it doesn't change how checkout, shipping, or your storefront theme work.
