Problem
When I impersonate an Associate’s Web Office and click their Replicated Site or eCommerce Shop link, the link goes to their Sponsor’s site, not theirs.
OR
I tried to enroll under an Associate, but the system won’t let me.
Solution
These problems occur when an Associate doesn’t have a webalias setup. The Associate’s site link may default to their Sponsor’s site. It’s also possible that the system won’t let a customer enroll under an Associate if they don’t have an associated site link.
A webalias is supposed to generate automatically during enrollment, which generates the eCommerce Shop/Replicated Site link. However, if someone manually upgraded the Associate from a Customer Associate Type to a Distributor Associate Type, the Associate must have their webalias set by a corporate Admin.
Whenever you manually upgrade someone like this, create a website for them as soon as possible to have people use their site to make purchases. The system doesn’t automatically create a site if you manually upgrade an Associate.
To manually add a site:
-
In Corporate Admin, navigate to Find Associates > Associate Detail > WebSites & BackOffice.
-
Under Websites, click Add Website to open the Add Website pop-up window.
-
In the pop-up, enter the Associate’s webalias in the URL field; typically, this is the same as their username.
Note: The URL format shown (
{webalias}.YourSiteName.com
) in the pop-up does not reflect your final URL. The Associate’s webalias will be placed in your Shop/Replicated Site URL in the fashion you’ve configured (typically,shop.YourSiteName.com/{webalias}
). -
Click Create Website to assign the webalias.
-
Click the generated link to visit the Associate’s eCommerce Shop or Replicated Site.
