Integrated MLM-Ecommerce Platform

I’m building a single web application that gives equal weight to multi-level marketing operations and a fully featured online store.

For the MLM side I need:
• a referral-tree engine that automatically places new members in the correct hierarchy,
• real-time commission tracking dashboards, and
• an embedded section where I can upload onboarding and training materials.

For the e-commerce experience, the site must support:
• structured product listings with category management,
• a secure shopping cart and checkout flow, and
• customer reviews displayed on each product page.

Both modules should share one user account so distributors can move seamlessly between managing their network and shopping. The admin panel must let me control products, users, MLM tiers, and commission rates from the same place. A mobile-responsive front end and clean, modern UI are essential.

Deliverables
• Deployable web application with full source code
• Central admin dashboard as described above
• Technical documentation covering setup, APIs, and commission logic
• 30-day post-launch bug-fix support

Acceptance criteria: all listed MLM and e-commerce features operate end-to-end in a staging environment, payments process successfully, and commissions calculate accurately through at least three hierarchy levels.

Please outline the tech stack you recommend and a realistic timeline with milestones in your bid.
