Repurchase / Autoship
Recurring orders. Recurring income.
Monthly autoship or repurchase volume powers recurring commissions. Layered on top of any main plan, it is the backbone of long-term distributor income and retention.

What a repurchase / autoship really is.
A repurchase (autoship) plan is the retention engine of a direct-selling company. Members commit to a monthly order, and the volume from those recurring orders drives a dedicated commission layer: repurchase commissions on your downline's monthly orders, loyalty points for your own consistency, and retention bonuses for keeping your team active.
It is rarely a standalone plan. Instead it sits on top of binary, unilevel or matrix and uses the same genealogy. Companies with consumables (supplements, skincare, coffee, pet products) depend on repurchase volume for the majority of long-term revenue, so the plan is designed to make consistency, not recruiting, the behaviour that pays.
DIRSL manages autoship schedules, payment retries, PV qualification, loyalty tiers and the separate repurchase commission run.
Step by step.
Set up autoship
A member selects products and a monthly date; the order is charged and shipped automatically.
Volume qualifies them
Autoship PV counts toward monthly qualification for all commissions in the main plan.
Repurchase commission
A separate percentage (often higher than first-order commission) is paid on downline repurchase volume by level or leg.
Loyalty points
Each consecutive autoship month earns points redeemable for product, increasing with streak length.
Retention bonus
Leaders earn a bonus when a high percentage of their team stays on autoship.
A worked month.
A Silver leader's repurchase month
- Team of 180 members, 72% on autoship (130), average 60 PV
- Repurchase commission: L1 10%, L2 6%, L3–L5 3%
- Level volumes: 1,200 / 2,400 / 4,200 PV
- Retention bonus: $200 if ≥ 70% autoship rate (met)
- Own autoship streak: 9 months → 90 loyalty points ($90 product)
Loyalty points ($90) are issued as product credit and are not counted in cash earnings.
