什么是MLM软件，为何您需要它

MLM software automates the operational backbone of a direct selling business — calculating commissions for each distributor based on their compensation plan, managing distributor registrations and profiles, tracking the genealogy (downline) network, processing e-wallet transactions, and generating the compliance reports required by AJL regulators in Malaysia.

Yes. All direct selling and MLM companies in Malaysia must hold a valid AJL (Akta Jualan Langsung) Direct Selling License from KPDN under the Direct Sales Act 1993. Operating without an AJL license is illegal and can result in prosecution and fines. ByteStraits provides AJL license application assistance.

The Direct Sales Act 1993 (Akta Jualan Langsung 1993) is the primary legislation governing direct selling and MLM activities in Malaysia. It sets out requirements for licensing (AJL), distributor protection, cooling-off periods, contract requirements, and what constitutes an illegal pyramid scheme. The Act is administered by KPDN — the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.

Legal MLM businesses generate income primarily from the sale of products or services to end consumers. Illegal pyramid schemes focus on recruitment fees rather than genuine product sales. Malaysian law distinguishes between the two — a compliant compensation plan design with real products and consumer sales is essential for AJL compliance.
