GoBuyLocal is a dynamic community platform designed to bridge the gap between consumers and local businesses through innovative programs. Our Smart Consumer Rewards Program allows consumers to earn up to 20% cashback by sharing their shopping experiences and digitizing their receipts, providing financial relief while encouraging local support. Additionally, our Affiliate Program enables members to earn commissions by inviting others to join, fostering a network of local support, and driving more business to local merchants. GoBuyLocal creates a vibrant ecosystem where producers, retailers, and shoppers thrive together, promoting stronger, more resilient communities by thinking and acting locally.
GoBuyLocal utilizes affiliate marketing with a global single-line structure to foster community growth, leveraging the power of a worldwide network.
Participants are organized into this Global Single-line following a straightforward principle: "First to register and pay, First to secure a placement".
In simple terms, this means that anyone who signs up globally after you will join the same line, but their placement will follow the order of their registration after yours.
There are 3 ways you can participate:
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 Casual or Smart Consumer within 30 days.
You can use the Active Replicator Page to recruit new participants. If the recruited downlines upgrade to Casual or Smart Consumers, you will earn a Referral 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
| Smart Consumer Type | Community Commission Entitlement |
| Casual Consumer | Up to Rank 6 |
| Amber Shopper | Up to Rank 8 |
| Jade Shopper | Up to Rank 11 |
| Emerald Shopper | Up to Rank 14 |
| Ruby Shopper | Up to Rank 17 |
| Diamond Shopper | Up to Rank 20 |

Currently, we accept two methods of payment.
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 BUSD(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.
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 Casual or Smart Consumer type. When you have received all the Cashback and Community Commission associated with your current Casual or Smart Consumer type, your account will be hibernated, and the Global Single-line Smart Consumers accumulation will stop.
However, you have the option to reactivate your account at the same or a higher Smart Consumer type. Please note that upon reactivation, your previous Global Single-line accumulation will be reset to zero. You will then receive Cashback and Community Commission based on the new Casual or Smart Consumer type you acquired.
Consumer Points are issued based on the type of consumer registered within the GoBuyLocal network. These points are used to calculate the Community Commission.
| Consumer Type | Casual Consumer | Smart Consumer |
| Consumer Point | 0.5 Point | 1 Point |
You will earn Recruitment Points for each consumer type you directly recruit, with the points being based on the type of consumer you have recruited.
| Consumer Type | Casual Consumer | Smart Consumer |
| Recruitment Point | 0.5 Point | 1 Point |
To be eligible for Community Commissions, you must meet all the requirements for your rank. The system determines your Qualified Rank daily at GMT 23:59 based on the following criteria:
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:
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.
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 BUSD (BEP-20). Top-ups are available from Monday to Sunday between GMT 22:01 and GMT 15:00. The 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 BUSD(BEP20), based on the company's "Sell" rate. An administrative fee of 3% with a minimum of US$1 and a 1.5 USDT/BUSD network fee will be charged per withdrawal. Payments are made directly to your USDT (TRC-20) or BUSD (BEP20) wallet, so it is important to have an updated and accurate wallet address in the back office to avoid losses.
Your maximum Cashback entitlement is dependent on your Casual or Smart Consumer Type. Upon reaching the maximum entitlement you stop receiving Cashback.
You stop receiving Daily Community Commissions for two reasons:
To continue accumulating Global Single-line Consumer Points, you must have 1 Recruitment Point (through the recruitment of Casual or Smart Consumer) every 30 days counting from the date of joining.
To retrieve a forgotten password, click on the "Forgot Password" tab on the login page and a new password will be generated and sent to the email address used during registration. Note: due to the system encryption, the support staff are not able to assist with password retrieval.
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.
