The Retra Compensation Plan is a thoughtfully designed hybrid plan that combines the strengths of a Binary structure and a Generational Unilevel.
This plan was built to reward real product usage, customer acquisition, and long-term leadership development.
Whether your goal is to earn a few hundred dollars per month by sharing products you love, or to build a large, sustainable organization that produces long-term income, the Retra Compensation Plan provides multiple paths to success at every stage of your journey.
This document outlines how each bonus works, how volume is calculated, and how you can advance through the ranks while building a healthy business.
Important Terms
Promoter: A person who has paid the $30 Retra Enrollment Fee (renews annually) and intends to grow their Retra business.
Active Promoter: A Promoter who has accumulated at least 100 in Personal + Customer Qualifying Volume (PCQV) in a calendar month. Being Active simply means you are personally using and/or sharing Retra products on a consistent monthly basis. Maintaining Active status allows you to qualify for commissions and bonuses, earn volume in the compensation plan, and protect your accumulated Binary Volume. A Promoter who does not accumulate 100 PCQV in a calendar month will be considered inactive for that month.
VIP Customer: A customer who creates an active SmartShip and purchases Retra products at a discount. These customers receive special benefits, including the ability to participate in the Retra Rewards Program.
Retail Customer: A customer who purchases Retra products at the full retail price.
Stacked Customer: A term that describes a customer referred by a VIP Customer, typically for the purpose of participating in the Retra Rewards Program. Stacked Customers accumulate Retra Rewards for the VIP Customer who referred them, but they are considered Level 0 to the nearest upline Promoter for commissions purposes.
Enroller Tree: An organizational structure containing Promoters in the order they enrolled. For commissions purposes, customers are considered Level 0 to the nearest upline Promoter.
Binary Tree: An organizational structure containing Promoters, separated into 2 legs. Each new Promoter who joins your organization will be permanently placed in either your Left Leg or Right Leg. Customers are not included in the Binary Tree, but for commissions purposes, they are considered Level 0 to the Promoter who enrolled them and their orders accumulate Binary Bonus Volume.
Coupon Codes: Coupon codes are offered by Retra to help you grow and sustain your business. In order to protect your business and company profitability, whenever a coupon code is used to pay for an order, the following will occur:
- Price = Discount % dependant on coupon code
- Personal Commissions = Reduced by same % as price
- QV = Reduced by same % as price
- CV = Reduced by double the coupon code %
Example: VIP10 or the automatic 2-item discount
- Price = Discounted by 10%
- Personal Commissions = Reduced by 10%
- QV = Reduced by 10%
- CV = Reduced by 20%
Retra Rewards Program: Retra Rewards are designed to reward consistent product usage and customer referrals. Retra Rewards can be earned by both Promoters and VIP Customers and can be used exclusively to purchase Retra products. Rewards are automatically applied to your SmartShip order and will expire at the end of the month in which they are issued if unused. In order to protect your business and company profitability, whenever Retra Rewards are used to pay for an order, the following will occur:
- Rewards-to-Price % Calculation = We will calculate the % amount of Rewards used to pay for the order
- Personal Commissions = Reduced by same % as Rewards used
- QV = Does not change
- CV = Reduced by the exact value of the Rewards used ($50 used means the CV is reduced by 50)
Example: $50 Retra Rewards are used to pay for a $200 SmartShip order with 120 CV and 200 QV
- Rewards-to-Price % Calculation = 25% of order paid for using Retra Rewards
- Personal Commissions = Reduced by 25%
- QV = Does not change (200 QV)
- CV = Reduced by 50 (70 CV)
Commission Payout Cap: If the total of all Tri-Periods and Monthly commission payments is above the 80% of Commissionable Volume (CV) maximum threshold, Retra reserves the right to reduce commissions until the total payout is at 80% of Commissionable Volume (CV).
Bonus Payout Caps: The Binary Bonus, Binary Rank Bonus, Check Match Bonus, and Power Bonus have caps on individual Promoter earnings and caps on total company-wide Promoter earnings. Individual Promoter earnings caps can be found in the rules for each bonus.
Company-wide Promoter earnings caps for each bonus are as follows:
- Binary Bonus + Binary Rank Bonus: Total must not exceed 25% of Commissionable Volume (CV)
- Check Match Bonus: Total must not exceed 15% of Commissionable Volume (CV)
- Power Bonus: Total must not exceed 5% of monthly product revenue
Volume Flushing Rules: Promoters who enter Inactive status will have all accumulated Binary Bonus Volume flushed if they do not reactivate their account within 60 days.
Yearly Carryover Volume: Your Pin Rank (the highest Rank you've ever achieved) determines how much Tri-Period Binary Bonus Volume (BBV) you can carry over into the next calendar year. If your BBV in either Leg exceeds the amounts listed below, it will be removed at the end of the last Tri-Period of the year:
- Active Promoter = 100,000 BBV
- Regional Promoter, Senior Promoter & Executive Promoter = 250,000 BBV
- Regional Manager, Senior Manager & Executive Manager = 500,000 BBV
- Regional Director, Senior Director & Executive Director = 1,000,000 BBV
- Ambassador & Diamond = 3,000,000 BBV
Types of Volume
In the Retra Compensation Plan, we refer to a few different types of Volume:
Qualifying Volume (QV): Volume assigned to an item or product bundle primarily used for the purpose of qualification. This volume is equal to the price a Promoter, VIP Customer, or Retail Customer pays for an item (Example: A Rise Canister is $65 for a Promoter and is 65 QV). QV is used in the following ways:
- Rank Volume (RV): Volume (QV) accumulated in a calendar month which determines your eligibility for rank advancements or re-qualification. Rank Volume is calculated as total Enroller Tree Volume (with a 50% cap per leg; see Rank Requirements). If a Promoter enrolls during the last Tri-Period (21st-end) of the month, their Rank Volume will be carried forward into the next full month.
- Personal + Customer Qualifying Volume (PCQV): Volume (QV) accumulated when you purchase products for personal use (including SmartShip orders) or your personally enrolled customers (and their referrals) purchase products. PCQV is a requirement for each rank. No more than 200 PCQV can come from your personal orders.
- Power Bonus QV: QV generated from qualifying personally enrolled Customers and Promoters for the purpose of calculating volume for the Power Bonus. All qualifying product orders count, including Starter Packs, new orders, and SmartShip orders.
Commissionable Volume (CV): Volume assigned to an item or product bundle primarily used to calculate commissions. This volume varies and is dependent on a variety of factors, including promotions and discount codes. CV is used in the following ways:
- Customer Commissionable Volume (CCV): Volume (CV) accumulated when a personally enrolled customer (and their referrals) purchase products. Used to calculate Personal Sales Bonuses.
- Binary Bonus Volume (BBV): Volume (CV) accumulated when a Promoter (and their customers) in your Binary Tree purchases products, including Starter Packs, SmartShips, product specials, and any one-time orders from their Back Office. Binary Bonus Volume is separated into two types:
Pay Periods
At Retra, you can get paid via Tri-Period Pay and Monthly Pay.
Tri-Period Pay: Each month is split into 3 smaller Tri-Periods:
- Tri-Period 1 = 1st of the month at 12:00:00am through the 10th of the month at 11:59:59pm U.S. Central Time.
- Tri-Period 2 = 11th of the month at 12:00:00am through the 20th of the month at 11:59:59pm U.S. Central Time.
- Tri-Period 3 = 21st of the month at 12:00:00am through the last day of the month at 11:59:59pm U.S. Central Time.
Any Personal Commissions, Builders Bonuses, and Binary Bonuses earned during a Tri-Period will be paid 5 days after the close of the period (5th, 15th, and 25th).
Monthly Pay: A month begins at 12:00:00am on the first day of the month and ends at 11:59:59pm U.S. Central Time on the last day of the month. Any Personal Sales Bonuses, Fast Start Bonuses, Level Bonuses, Binary Rank Bonuses, Check Match Bonuses, Rank Bonuses, and Power Bonuses earned during a calendar month will be paid with the monthly commissions, on the 10th of the following month.
Retra Rewards will be deposited into your Retra account at 12:01am on the first day of each month and will be automatically applied to that month’s SmartShip order.
