Hi @SugarNails ,
By default, Shopify does not offer a replicated site functionality, however, it can be implemented as a custom functionality relatively easily.
The common replicated site form of www.SugarNails.com/RepWebAlias is not supported on Shopify due to how its URL structure works. Instead a company has to use alternative replicated structures like www.SugarNails.com/?als=RepWebAlias. For companies with existing replicated sites functionality like the common structure mentioned above, a redirect can use to make existing shared links are not lost. Most companies also add a cookie when a replicated site is visited to make sure the correct replicated site is populated when a prospect returns to the site. Additionally, depending on business rules, a customer or rep who has previously purchased from a site will be redirected to the correct replicated site when they login. This is a more advanced custom functionality but also very plausible within Shopify.
The larger question to consider when implementing a replicated site functionality is what commission platform are you using to track genealogy, calculate commission payouts and handle payouts? The replicated site functionality is just a way to properly allocate orders under the correct genealogy in the commission platform. Implementing the URL structure and the proper cookies around it is a relatively easy task, the allocation of the orders is the harder question to answer.
AvadaCommerce's answer provides a few common commission platforms integrated with Shopify. Replicated sites are just a form of sharing and a way to allocate orders under the correct rep in these platforms, similar to how some companies use discount codes. I would note the functionality available in most of these platforms is relatively limited compared to what many MLM/direct-selling companies are looking for. These are more affiliate platforms with some basic MLM functions. What you will find is many shops looking for replicated site functionalities will turn to more enterprise-grade commission platforms built specifically for MLM and then integrate them with Shopify. However, commission platform choice ultimately come down to your business rules and requirements.
