GoBuyLocal is an innovative platform designed to help you turn your everyday purchases into income. It's all about maximizing the value of your shopping experiences by offering you multiple ways to save and earn money effortlessly. At GoBuyLocal, we believe consumers should be rewarded for their purchasing power, and we’ve created a simple, transparent system that makes it happen. Here’s how you can benefit:

  • Cashback from Receipts

    By submitting your receipts from purchases at local and national retailers, you can earn up to 20% cashback. Whether you’re buying groceries, clothes, or dining out, every receipt counts. All you need to do is upload the receipt to the platform, and GoBuyLocal will monetize it, giving you real cash rewards for your everyday spending.

  • Earnings from Online Surveys

    Beyond cashback, GoBuyLocal allows you to earn money by completing simple online surveys. These surveys are based on your shopping preferences and habits. By sharing your consumer insights, you contribute to valuable market research and get paid for it. This is another effortless way to boost your income just by sharing your opinions.

  • Referral and Network Earnings

    GoBuyLocal also offers you the opportunity to earn from a vast network of users. When you invite others to join the platform, you can earn referral bonuses as they start participating. Additionally, through GoBuyLocal’s unique global single-line system, you can earn commissions from participants worldwide who join after you—even if you didn’t directly recruit them. This means you benefit from the growth of the entire GoBuyLocal network.

The Global Single Line is an innovative earning structure that sets GoBuyLocal apart from traditional affiliate programs. In this system, every participant who joins GoBuyLocal globally is placed in a single, continuous line, regardless of who recruited them. This means that when you join, anyone who joins the platform after you—whether directly recruited by you or not—will be positioned beneath you in the global line.

The Global Single Line offers several key benefits:

  • Earning Potential Beyond Your Direct Network

    Even if you don’t actively recruit others, you can still earn commissions from people who join GoBuyLocal after you, from anywhere in the world. The system ensures that the more people who join the platform, the more you stand to earn, simply by being an early participant.

  • Shared Growth

    This structure creates a shared growth opportunity for everyone involved. As the GoBuyLocal network expands globally, every member in the line benefits from the platform’s increasing user base. You are rewarded not just for your own efforts, but for the collective growth of the community.

  • Leverage the Power of a Global Network

    The Global Single Line allows you to tap into a worldwide network, giving you access to potential earnings from individuals across the globe. Whether you actively build your network or simply join the platform, you can benefit from the global expansion of GoBuyLocal.

In short, the Global Single Line is a powerful system that maximizes your earning potential, allowing you to benefit from both your personal efforts and the overall growth of the platform. It’s a unique approach that rewards participants as the GoBuyLocal community grows worldwide.

There are 2 ways you can participate:

  1. Window Shopper

    You can join as a Window Shopper for free. You will have 30 days of access to the back office to review and observe the community’s growth. Your account will be terminated if you do not upgrade to a Consumer within 30 days.

    You can use the Active Replicator Page to recruit new participants. If the recruited downlines are upgraded to Consumers, you will earn a Referral Commission.

  2. Consumer

  3. Community Commission

    The Community Commission is a powerful component of the GoBuyLocal reward plan. Utilizing a unique and robust algorithm, our platform calculates the Community Commission based on the number of new Smart Consumers who join after you and are positioned in the global single line. These Consumers do not need to be directly recruited by you.

    Your Community Commission earnings depend on your Qualified Rank. Once you reach the maximum entitlement for your current Rank, you will stop receiving Community Commission at that level.

    Upon achieving a new Qualified Rank, you will begin earning Community Commission based on the new Rank and will cease to earn commission based on the previous Rank.

    This structure ensures that as you progress and achieve higher Ranks, your reward potential continues to grow, reflecting your dedication and success within the GoBuyLocal community

    Accumulative Global Line Consumer Points Accumulated Recruitment Points Qualified Rank Community Commission Maximum Entitlement
    10 1 1 US$2.00 US$20.00
    35 3 2 US$3.00 US$60.00
    85 6 3 US$3.50 US$105.00

Currently, we accept two methods of payment.

  1. Cryptocurrency – USDT(TRC-20) and USDT(BEP20)

    We are using a crypto payment gateway to collect your registration payment. As in any cryptocurrency transaction, we will need blockchain network confirmations before confirming your payment. Once confirmed, the system will create your account and send you a Welcome Email with your login details. Depending on the blockchain network traffic (which we do not have control over), the process can sometimes take 10 minutes to 30 minutes. You must send the exact amount of cryptocurrency USDT(BEP20) and USDT(TRC-20) displayed on the payment page within the time stipulated to prevent the “time out” and delay.

    Until and unless you receive a Welcome email from us, your registration is pending, and you can’t log in.

  2. E-Code

    We understand that many people have limited knowledge and access to cryptocurrency, and we created the e-Code. E-Code works like a preload shopping gift card. When you input a valid e-Code, your registration will be completed instantaneously, and you will receive a Welcome email with the login credentials.

No, you cannot upgrade your Consumer type. When you have received all the Cashback and Community Commission associated with your current Consumer type, your account will be hibernated, and the Global Single-line consumer points accumulation will stop.

However, you have the option to reactivate your account (within 7 days) at the same or a higher Consumer type. Please note that upon reactivation, your previous Global Single-line consumer points accumulation will be reset to zero. You will then receive Cashback and Community Commission based on the new Consumer type you acquired.

Consumer Points are issued based on the type of consumer registered within the GoBuyLocal network. These points are criteria for your Community Commission Rank Qualification.

For every Consumer you recruit, you will earn Recruitment Points (based on the consumer type). These points are criteria for your Community Commission Rank Qualification.

To be eligible for Community Commissions, you must meet all the requirements for your Rank qualification. The system determines your Qualified Rank daily at GMT 23:59 based on the following criteria:

  1. The accumulative Global Single-line Consumer Points or Team Consumer Points
  2. The accumulative personal Recruitment Points

You will not receive Community Commissions on the day you qualify for a new rank. Instead, you start receiving Community Commissions the day after you have qualified.

For example:
If you qualify as Rank 3 on the 16th of July 2024, you start to receive the Community Commission of US$3.50 from the 17th of July 2024 onward.

As you build your team, there are 20 ranks you can ascend. Each rank entitles you to higher Community Commissions.

To maintain and ensure the sustainability of the platform, your earnings (Cashback, Referral, and Community Commissions are distributed as follows:

  1. E-wallet Allocation:

    80% of your Cashback, Referral, and Community Commissions are allocated to your E-wallet. This balance is accessible for withdrawal at any time and daily.

  2. Registration Wallet Allocation:

    The remaining 20% of your Cashback, Referral, and Community Commissions are directed to your Registration Wallet. Balances within the Registration Wallet cannot be withdrawn and are exclusively designated for the creation of e-Codes.

Your E-wallet holds 80% of your Cashback, Daily Earnings, and Referral Commissions. You can withdraw these funds at any time or use them to create an e-Code

Your Registration Wallet holds 20% of your Cashback, Daily Earnings, and Referral Commissions. The balance in this wallet is not withdrawable and can only be used for creating e-Code.

To generate an e-Code, you'll need 50% of the e-Code's value from the Cash wallet and the remaining 50% from either the Registration wallet or E-wallet.

For example:

You want to create an Amber Shopper’s E-code value at US$60.

You will need US$30 from the Cash Wallet and another US$30 from the Registration Wallet or E-wallet.

The Cash Wallet is essential for creating an e-Code. The minimum top-up value is US$15, and you can only top up using USDT (TRC-20) or USDT (BEP-20). top-up amount is calculated based on the company’s “buy” rate.

Earnings can be withdrawn at any time and multiple times daily, with a processing time of 24 hours. The minimum withdrawal amount is US$20, and all payouts are in USDT (TRC-20) and USDT(BEP20), based on the company's "Sell" rate. An administrative fee of 3% with a minimum of US$1 and a 2.88 USDT network fee will be charged per withdrawal. Payments are made directly to your USDT (TRC-20) or USDT (BEP20) wallet, so it is important to have an updated and accurate wallet address in the back office to avoid losses.

In GoBuyLocal, a week runs from Sunday to Saturday. If you upgrade to a consumer this week (e.g., October 24th, 2024), you can begin submitting receipts and completing surveys starting from the following Sunday (October 27th, 2024).

It typically takes us 4 weeks to process and verify your submitted receipts. Your first week’s earnings will be paid out in the fifth week, your second week’s earnings in the sixth week, and so on.

Your maximum Cashback entitlement is dependent on your Consumer Type. Upon reaching the maximum entitlement you stop receiving Cashback.

You stop receiving Daily Community Commissions for two reasons:

  1. You have reached the maximum entitlement associated with your current qualified rank. To continue earning Community Commissions, you must qualify for a higher rank.
  2. You have reached the maximum entitlement associated with your Smart Consumer type.

To continue accumulating Global Single-line Consumer Points, you must have 1 Recruitment Point (through the recruitment of Consumer) every 30 days counting from the date of joining.

Yes, you can. The administrator will NOT be responsible for the integrity and security of your back office if it is compromised due to your negligence. Any financial loss will be self-borne.
