Three integration paths

Plugin, headless, full migration, pick by GMV + plan complexity.

Path 1: WordPress Plugin

A single plugin handles members, commissions, and genealogy entirely inside WordPress. Fastest to ship, lowest ceiling. Realistic upper bound is around $500K GMV with binary or unilevel only.

Path 2: Headless Integration

WordPress runs the storefront and content; a SaaS MLM platform handles distributor operations, commissions, and genealogy. REST API plus webhooks bridge the two. The right answer for $500K to $10M GMV in most cases.

Path 3: Full Migration Off WordPress

Leave WordPress; run unified on a dedicated MLM platform. The right answer when WordPress becomes the operational bottleneck or plugin debt is unsustainable, typically above $10M GMV.
