What a replicated store is
A replicated store is the company catalog presented under an individual distributor's identity: their name, photo, message and referral code, on a URL they can share. Orders placed there are attributed to them for commissions and customer ownership.
Attribution
Attribution happens by URL (members.yourbrand.com/u/priya), by referral code at checkout, or by cookie for visitors who arrive via a shared link and buy later. Set the cookie window (30 days is typical) and the precedence when signals conflict.
Company-controlled pricing
Distributors cannot change prices or descriptions. This protects compliance, brand and margin. They can share company-issued coupons and personalize their profile block.
What converts
- A real photo and a short personal note
- Fast mobile checkout with local payment methods
- Bundles and a visible autoship option
- Clear shipping and refund policy
- Customer accounts so repeat buyers return to the same distributor
Customer accounts
Customers who buy from a replicated store get a customer account linked to that distributor. Their future orders, including autoship, keep paying that distributor, which is the foundation of retail residual income.
