Question   How do my members refer people to the software?

A. There are reports showing how many people an Member has referred,
allowing you to manually mark them as free once they've referred 4.

However, currently there is no way to automate the process.

A. You would setup a member variable.  Then, you would edit the link to include the ~~ code for the member variable inside of the link.  For example, a link might look like:
http://COMPANYBEINGPROMOTED.COM/FILENAME.php?id=~var1~

The example above shows how you would put the ~~ code inside of the link in the spot where the member's value should appear.

A. With a Pro system there is the option when editing the membership to indicate that the membership is free.  If free, then you would need to see the id for the membership (look in the URL of the page when editing the membership and it will say ?id=*.  The * is the id for the membership).  Then, you would link to the join page using the link below putting the * for the membership and the USERNAME for the member that referred the new member.

~wmtsystemurl~/admin/join.php?user=USERNAME&membership=*###

A. No, the commission is not distributed automaticly.
However, there is an export to csv report that can be used to create a file that can be imported into PayPal to pay everyone at once.
This report is at the bottom of the "Referral Marketing" page  when logged in as the admin.

A. This is an option that appears when 1-UP or 2-UP is turned on.  This feature allows an Member to specify if a person in their downline must qualify (and passup their first sponsor, etc. as required by the #-UP).  If it is set so they are not required to qualify, then that Member keeps every person they refer and doesn't have to pass any referrals up to their sponsor.
