Lose either one and next month's orders drop. Most brands patch it together with a subscription app, a separate affiliate tool and a spreadsheet for payouts. ## What works for direct selling brands ### Autoship on their schedule Customers pick how often products arrive and can save on every order, right on your Shopify store. ### Skip, swap or delay A full cupboard becomes a skipped order, not a cancellation. Customers change it in the portal or by text. ### Kits and bundles Sell starter kits and full routines as one autoship order. ### Rewards for staying Punch cards, milestone gifts and store credit at set order counts give customers a reason to keep their autoship. ### Failed payment recovery Retries on a schedule you set, plus reminders with a link to update the card, so an expired card does not end an autoship. ### Prepaid plans Sell 3- and 6-month plans paid up front. ## Ambassadors, paid for the sales they bring Spark! runs your ambassador and advocate program on the same platform as autoship. ### Their own link or code Each ambassador shares a tracking link or a discount code, and the orders it brings are credited to them. ### Commission you set A percentage or a fixed amount on each order an ambassador refers. ### One level, by design Ambassadors earn on the sales they refer themselves.
