What is MLM software?
MLM software (multi-level marketing software) is a platform that automates network marketing operations — including member registration, sponsor tree management, genealogy visualisation, commission calculation across multiple levels, e-wallet management, KYC verification, and admin reporting. It replaces manual tracking with an automated system that scales as your distributor network grows.
What compensation plans do you support?
We support all major MLM compensation structures: Binary Plan (two-leg network with carry-forward), Matrix Plan (fixed-width, fixed-depth grids like 3×9 or 5×7), Unilevel Plan (unlimited width, limited depth with level bonuses), Hybrid Plan (combinations of two or more structures), and Board Plan (cyclical boards with re-entry). We also support all bonus types: sponsor bonus, level commissions, matching bonus, rank advancement bonus, binary flush, and pool bonuses.
How much does MLM software development cost in India?
MLM software development costs in India typically range from ₹3–8 lakh for a basic single-plan platform, ₹8–20 lakh for a mid-tier platform with hybrid plans, e-wallet, KYC, and mobile app, and ₹20–50 lakh for an enterprise-grade blockchain MLM platform with smart contract automation and custom token economics. Exact cost depends on plan complexity, number of levels, feature set, and integrations required.
How long does MLM software development take?
A basic MLM platform takes 4–6 weeks. A mid-complexity platform with hybrid plans, e-wallet, and KYC integration takes 8–12 weeks. A full blockchain MLM platform with smart contracts and mobile apps takes 12–20 weeks. Timeline depends on compensation plan complexity, number of third-party integrations, and mobile app requirements.
What is binary MLM software?
Binary MLM software manages a two-leg (left and right) network where each distributor can have a maximum of two direct downline members. The system tracks binary pair matches, calculates pair bonuses, manages carry-forward volumes, enforces flush cycles, and computes matching bonuses — all automatically. Our binary engines handle overflow/spillover logic, weak leg tracking, and binary cap rules with 100% calculation accuracy.
What is matrix MLM software?
Matrix MLM software manages fixed-width, fixed-depth genealogy trees — for example, a 3×9 matrix (3 wide, 9 deep) or a 5×7 matrix. The platform automates forced matrix filling, spillover placement, matrix completion bonuses, and cycle re-entry. Matrix systems require precise placement algorithms to maintain fairness across large networks.
What is hybrid MLM software?
Hybrid MLM software combines two or more compensation plan structures — for example, a binary plan for team commissions plus a unilevel plan for level override bonuses. Hybrid plans are the most complex to build correctly because the calculation engines must run simultaneously without interference. We have built hybrid binary+unilevel, binary+matrix, and fully custom hybrid systems for large direct selling organisations.
What is blockchain MLM software?
Blockchain MLM software uses smart contracts to automate commission distribution on a public blockchain (Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain). Instead of a centralised database, commission rules are encoded in immutable smart contracts — meaning no administrator can alter payout logic, delay payments, or manipulate the genealogy. Distributors receive commissions automatically in their crypto wallets as transactions occur, with full on-chain transparency.
What are the benefits of decentralised MLM platforms?
Decentralised MLM platforms offer five key advantages: (1) Transparency — all commission rules and transaction history are publicly verifiable on-chain; (2) Trustlessness — no central authority controls payouts; (3) Instant settlement — commissions are distributed in seconds, not days; (4) Censorship resistance — no single point of failure; (5) Global reach — crypto wallets work across borders without bank dependency.
Which blockchain is best for MLM software?
For most MLM platforms, Polygon (MATIC) or BNB Chain offer the best combination of low transaction fees (under $0.01 per transaction), fast confirmation times (2–5 seconds), and EVM compatibility. Ethereum mainnet suits high-value enterprise deployments where security is paramount. We help you select the right chain based on your distributor geography, transaction volume, and budget.
What features does your MLM software include?
Our MLM platforms include: member registration and KYC verification, sponsor and referral link management, genealogy tree visualiser, automated commission calculation engine (all plan types), e-wallet with withdrawal and reinvestment, payment gateway integration (UPI, bank transfer, crypto), rank and incentive management, admin dashboard with real-time network analytics, email/SMS notifications, income tax report generation, and iOS/Android mobile apps.
Do you integrate payment gateways for Indian MLM companies?
Yes. For India-based MLM companies we integrate UPI (via Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree), NEFT/RTGS bank transfers, and crypto payment options. For UAE and GCC clients we integrate PayTabs, Telr, and Stripe, plus crypto wallets. All payment flows include GST/VAT calculation and accounting export.
Is your MLM software compliant with Indian regulations?
We build MLM platforms that align with the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules, 2021 (India) — including cooling-off periods, return policies, and income disclosure requirements. We also implement DPDP Act-compliant data handling for user data stored in India. We recommend all MLM businesses obtain independent legal counsel, as regulations vary by state and evolve frequently.
Do you build MLM software for the UAE and Gulf markets?
Yes. We serve clients across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. Our platforms support Arabic language (RTL layout), AED/SAR/QAR currency display, UAE VAT calculations, and ADGM/DIFC regulatory alignment. We have delivered MLM platforms for clients in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh.
Do you provide source code after development?
Yes. Upon final payment, you receive 100% of the source code with full ownership rights. We provide complete code handover including documentation, deployment scripts, and environment configuration. We retain no licence or ongoing fee rights over your platform.
Can existing MLM software be migrated to your platform?
Yes. We have migrated multiple MLM businesses from legacy platforms to custom systems. Migration involves genealogy tree data export, commission history transfer, wallet balance reconciliation, and a parallel-run period before cutover. Zero-downtime migration is achievable with proper planning.
Do you build MLM mobile apps?
Yes. We build iOS and Android mobile apps (React Native or Flutter) giving distributors real-time access to their genealogy tree, commission statements, wallet balance, withdrawal requests, and team performance analytics. Mobile apps are available as add-ons to any MLM platform engagement.
