The world has never seen a company as unique and refreshing as Kannaway, and we know that our Brand Ambassadors are the driving force behind our success. Together with our Brand Ambassadors, we are creating a culture that is truly enriching the lives of people around the world. To bring this vision into reality, Kannaway has established a generous and straightforward compensation plan that rewards our Brand Ambassadors!
There are 2 requirements to earn commisions. In the Kannaway program, there is no purchase of product required to be a Brand Ambassador. The only required fee to become a Brand Ambassador is the Brand Ambassador fee. There are no commissions generated or paid on the Brand Ambassador fee. Kannaway only pays commissions from the sale of products, not from the recruitment of Brand Ambassadors.
REQUIREMENT 1Register to become a Kannaway Brand Ambassador (Independent Distributor) by enrolling online and paying the required Brand Ambassador fee. $54.98 / €47.80 annually
The Brand Ambassador fee will be debited annually on the annual anniversary date. |
REQUIREMENT 2
As a Brand Ambassador (Independent Distributor), it’s important to understand how you get paid. A portion of each sale generated within your organization may trigger one or more ways for you to earn commissions. As you read through this compensation explanation, you’ll understand how you’re rewarded in each area of the compensation plan. It is important to understand that only qualified Brand Ambassadors earn commissions and in order to receive commission overrides on your group sales you will need to satisfy minimum personal sales requirements based on your rank. For further explanation see rank and pin levels below. Kannaway Brand Ambassadors must be of 18 years or older to enroll. |
Selling Kannaway products directly to customers builds a solid foundation for your Kannaway business.
There are two ways to make direct customer sales:
By purchasing and reselling Kannaway products in person |
Allowing customers to order through your replicated website link |
When selling through the website in the second option, you are eligible to earn both retail
commissions as the difference between wholesale and retail AND direct sales commissions. Direct
sales commissions for every retail order placed within the first 30 days will pay a 30% DSC, 15%
Check Match, and 55% to monthly residual commissions. After the first 30 days, a 30% DSC will pay on
every order, with the remaining 70% paid through monthly residual commissions. For example, if you
sold a bottle of Pure Gold at retail price, $187.99, you will be paid the difference between $187.99
and $155.99, coming out to $32 PLUS the direct sales commission of 30% of CV, $16.50.
When someone redeems a gift card on a retail purchase, the profit between the wholesale price and the retail price is reduced by the gift card amount. Direct sales commissions are paid on the following Friday from the week they are made, and residual sales commissions are paid on the 15th of the following month.
All customer sales are regarded as Personal Volume, the same as any personally placed orders by any BA. There is no purchase of product required to be a Brand Ambassador. Personal volume requirements per rank can always be satisfied through the sale of product to either a retail customer or a preferred customer.
PV Spillover - Any personal volume, either from personal purchases or customer sales, which exceeds 110PV in total, will be “spilled over” into your group volume. The PV will be added to your GV opposite your leg with the largest amount of volume. At the end of the month, you can include this PV in your total group volume to calculate your rank.
Some customers prefer to have their orders shipped directly to them each month without
having to hassle with remembering to place a new order, which is what we call SmartShip
at Kannaway. Customers who enroll in the SmartShip program become Kannaway Preferred
Customers. Registration in the SmartShip program is FREE and as a Kannaway Preferred
Customer they will enjoy Kannaway products at an additional discount.
The Kannaway Compensation Plan pays the Brand Ambassador that sells the Preferred Customer their product order placed within the first 30 days will pay a 30% DSC, 15% Check Match, and 55% to monthly residual commissions. After the first 30 days, a 30% DSC will pay on every order, with the remaining 70% paid through monthly residual commissions.
As a Kannaway Preferred Customer they will be given a secure back office account to track their order history and manage their Smart Ship Deliveries. Preferred Customers will also receive a FREE Kannaway website to refer customers to and have the opportunity to earn FREE product in the 3 for FREE Program.
The 3 for FREE Program is simple. Brand Ambassadors can earn FREE product by referring 3 Kannaway customers. The amount of FREE product that can be earned is based on the average product orders of all their Kannaway customers referred, not to exceed the Brand Ambassador SmartShip order during the earned month.
Perhaps the most rewarding program available within
Kannaway is SmartShip Rewards. This program encourages
consistent product orders and is a great opportunity to
experience the positive benefits of establishing a routine with
Kannaway's incredible hemp and wellness products.
Those who establish a SmartShip profile receive a 10% discount on their SmartShip orders every single month, and are awarded with access to company sales and discounts.
For Brand Ambassadors, the 10% monthly SmartShip discount is on top of savings they already earn with access to wholesale pricing. To qualify for the 10% discount on SmartShip orders, Brand Ambassadors must meet two requirements:
For Brand Ambassadors, the SmartShip Rewards program allows for two orders per month where the discount applies. Second SmartShip needs to be by 25th of the month. Any SmartShip on 26th or later in the month does not receive a 10% discount
Preferred Customers with a SmartShip profile save 10% off the retail price. They qualify automatically for up to one monthly SmartShip order with a 10% discount and are not required to have their orders meet any minimum BV or date deadline.
Have a personally paid Smartship order
Have at least 3 Customers with paid monthly orders
Earn free product the following month equivalent to the average of each 3 consecutive customer orders
1. Maintain an active, paid monthly SmartShip of at least 28 BV in product orders.
2. Have at least three Kannaway customers who have a minimum order of 28 BV each calendar month. When this occurs, you will earn the average of each 3 consecutive customers orders in 3 for free credit, to be used on a single order in the following month.
3. The free amount will appear automatically during checkout, or on your SmartShip, in the amount of the average of the top three customers during your earned month.
*There are no commissions paid on FREE product
Getting FastStart qualified earns you 3X the Direct Sales Commission! Achieving FastStart qualification is a key first step when building your business in Kannaway. The FastStart program offers you the opportunity to earn triple Direct Sales Commissions (DSC’s) on Value Packs sold to personal enrollments. This means you can earn 3 times the initial DSC on every first value pack you sell to a new customer or Brand Ambassador (BA) during your entire time in Kannaway.
Enroll as a BA
The only requirements to join Kannaway, you must be 18 years of age or
older and pay the Annual Brand Ambassador fee to maintain your account.
OPTION 1Option 1 allows you to fulfill your PV requirement for FastStart qualification by purchasing any Value Pack. After that, enroll any combination of 3 BAs, Customers, or Preferred Customers, within 30 days; all of which either buy or sell any Value Pack. Earn FSQ qualification instantly by purchasing any of the Total Product Experience Value Packs! |
OPTION 2Option 2 allows you to fulfill your PV requirement by either buying or selling any value pack and generating 3000 personally sponsored group volume within 4 levels, in 30 days. Remember, no more than 60% of that the EV requirement can be generated from one personal enrollment leg. |
FastStart 3000 & FastStart 9000 qualifiers are the heartbeat of the Kannaway business model.
Achieving FastStart 3000 status earns Brand Ambassadors up to $1,000 in additional commissions paid over 2 months. The first half of the $1,000 FastStart 3000 Commission is paid as soon as you qualify, the second is paid in the following month, as long as PV requirements continue to be met. To become FastStart 3000 qualified you must achieve the following:
*Sponsor placed Brand Ambassadors and their legs cannot be used to qualify a BA for FastStart 3000 Commission. Faststart 3000 commissions earned by a BA must be generated from BA’s sponsored by the individual earning the FastStart 3000 Commission.
FastStart 9000 qualifiers receive an additional $1,000. Like the FastStart 3000, FastStart 9000 qualifiers must maintain a minimum of 110 PV in their 2nd and 3rd months, (days 31-60 & days 61-90) to earn the FastStart 9000 Commission. The first half of the $1,000 FastStart 9000 Commission is paid as soon as you qualify, the second is paid in the following month, as long as PV rquirements continue to be met.
*Sponsor placed Brand Ambassadors and their legs cannot be used to qualify a BA for FastStart 9000 Commission. FastStart 9000 Commission earned by a BA must be generated from BA’s sponsored by the individual earning the FastStart 9000 Commission.
A direct sales commission pays on every order from a new enrollment, during that new enrollments first 30 days. These commissions are 30% of the commissionable volume, paid to the immediate sponsor. For example, a 110BV order, with a CV of 55, will produce a DSC of $16.50.
Kannaway also offers Value Packages to both customers and Brand Ambassadors who are interested in
saving money Kannaway pays a special DSC on the first Kannaway Value Pack purchase. The commissions
paid on Kannaway Value Pack are listed in the chart below. Any future purchases of Kannaway Value
Packs will pay based on the assigned CV through the residual portion of the compensation plan

Duplication is the key to long-term success in Relationship Marketing and to help our Brand Ambassadors create a culture of teamwork. We pay a 50% check match on all Direct Sales commissions to qualifying team members.
The DSC Matching Commissions are paid on the entire DSC earned even if it is a triple DSC. The 50% DSC Check Matching Commission is split and paid as follows. 20% is paid to the enrollees sponsor and 30% is split between leadership rank codes and 7 levels of upline team members (following the sponsor tree) as shown in the charts below:
QUALIFYING CODED RANKS |
DSC MATCHING COMMISSION PERCENTAGE |
---|---|
Executive Director | 2.5% |
Regional Director | 2.5% |
International Director | 2.5% |
Presidential Director | 2.5% |

Level 4 Upline | 2.5% |
Level 5 Upline | 2.5% |
Level 6 Upline | 2.5% |
Level 7 Upline | 2.5% |
* Note: Any single order on which a DSC is earned will pay an additional 50% of the total DSC amount, broken down into the above percentages. For example: If you are the sponsor of the BA earning a DSC of $60, you will be paid 20% of the entire DSC, $12. If, you are the level 4 upline, you will be paid 2.5% of the total DSC, $1.50.
As a Kannaway Brand Ambassador, your focus will be on creating a Retail and Preferred Customer base as well as building a team of Brand Ambassadors. As you progress through the Kannaway compensation program, you will earn increased Team Override commissions from product sales generated throughout your sales organization.
Kannaway utilizes a “Unilevel” structure for our Team Override commissions. Meaning, every Brand Ambassador will be automatically placed on their sponsor’s first level unless their sponsor chooses to place them under a Brand Ambassador on their team.
Placement is an advanced organizational strategy. Ask your Team Leader for advice on the best strategy for building your Kannaway business.
The higher rank you achieve, the more levels you can earn commissions. The Kannaway compensation plan uses “compression” to allow Brand Ambassadors to earn on sales originating down deeper within their organization if someone in the organizational tree is inactive. This means any Customer or Brand Ambassador volume that is not generated from an active Brand Ambassador will “compress” and be counted within the volume of the level immediately above.

*Team Override commissions are paid monthly
The Rank Infinity Commission allows Brand Ambassadors who have achieved the Paid As Rank of Executive Director/ Area Director/ Regional Director/Regional Director Elite/ National Director/National Director Elite/ International Director/ International Director Elite/ Vice Presidential Director/Vice Presidential Director Elite/ Presidential Director/Presidential Director Elite & Crown Ambassador/Crown Ambassador Elite to start earning a 1% commission on all qualified sales starting on their 6th level through infinity on the sales organization they built. The Rank Infinity Commission pays a total of 15% of the CV through 2 generations, (7.5% on each generation) and is cumulative, meaning you can earn the total difference in Commission % between your rank and the rank of your team members.
As a qualified Executive Director, you will start earning a 1% Commission on all sales starting with your 6th level through infinity, this is referred to as the 1st Generation Commission. You will earn the 1st Generation Commission down to the next qualified Executive Director in your Placement Tree Organization. At that point the new Executive Director will start earning the 1st Generation Infinity Commission on their organization and you will start earning the 2nd Generation 1% Infinity Commission on their organization. When a third Executive Director is encountered in the same organizational line of you will be blocked out, this is known as a breakaway and you stop earning the 2nd generation infinity Commission from that Executive Director and their organization. It’s important to understand you will continue to earn the 1st generation & 2nd generation infinity Commission on the remainder of your organization as long as you have not encountered a third qualified Executive Director. In order to start earning the “Rank” Infinity Commission on the breakaway organization you will need to achieve the rank of Area Director at which time you will start earning the 1st generation Area Director commission.
Earning cumulative Rank Infinity commissions for multiple ranks is one of the exciting aspects of
this commission, meaning you have the ability to earn the Commission % from more than 1 rank. As
an example, if you were a qualified Crown Ambassador and had no Executive Directors or above in a
specific leg you would receive the entire 1st generation Executive Director/ Area Director/
Regional Director/Regional Director Elite/ National Director/National Director Elite/
International Director/International Director Elite/ Vice Presidential Director/Vice Presidential
Director Elite/ Presidential Director/ Presidential Director Elite & Crown Ambassador/Crown
Ambassador Elite Generational Infinity Commission for each rank (7.5%). As soon as a Brand
Ambassador in that leg achieves the rank of Executive Director you will start earning the 2nd
generation infinity Commission below your new Executive Director.

Like the Rank Infinity Commission, the Coded Infinity Commission allows Brand Ambassadors who have achieved the Paid As Rank of Executive Director to start earning it. It also pays 15% of the CV through 2 generations (7.5% on each generation) and is cumulative, meaning you can earn multiple coded infinity Commissions on the same team. For example, if you have National Director, Regional Director and Area Director coding on an individual you would earn all those coded infinity Commissions on that individual's team.
Once you achieve Executive Director you start earning the Coded Infinity Commission on the very next Brand Ambassador and their team you personally enroll. Unlike the Rank Infinity Commission, your coded team members don’t breakaway from you. Once they are coded to you they remain coded as long as they remain active in Kannaway, no matter how large or how many levels their team grows. Another exciting feature of the Coded Infinity Commission is you start earning the added Commission on level 1, which means you could increase your level 1 % override to as much as 9.5%.
Like the Rank Infinity Commission, the Coded Infinity Commission also has 2 generations of code Commission paid at each rank. The major difference is with the coded Commission their entire team does NOT breakaway from you once a 2nd BA achieves your same rank. That means your commissions shouldn’t reduce, in fact, if you’ve built a growing healthy organization they will continue to grow and so will the coded Commission portion of your check.
As you continue to achieve higher ranks in Kannaway you start earning that ranks Coded Infinity Commission with the very next person you personally enroll. Like the Rank Infinity commissions, the Coded Infinity Commission allows you to accumulate your coded commissions for multiple ranks, meaning you have the ability to earn the Commission % from more than 1 rank.
As an example, if you were a qualified Crown Ambassador you would receive the entire 1st
generation Coded Infinity Commission for each rank Executive Director/ Area Director/ Regional
Director/Regional Director Elite/ National Director/ National Director Elite/ International
Director/International Director Elite/ Vice Presidential Director/Vice Presidential Director
Elite/ Presidential Director/Presidential Director Elite & Crown Ambassador/Crown Ambassador
Elite (7.5%) on all sales made by your newly enrolled Brand Ambassador and their entire
organization starting with their level.

Rank Advancement commissions are designed to reward the new BA every step of the way as they achieve success and climb through the ranks of the compensation plan. We even double the RAC Commission if ranks are achieved faster.
We offer Rank Advancement commissions at the following ranks: Executive Director, Area Director, Regional Director & National Director.
These ranks are pivotal positions in the compensation plan, as they are some of the first ranks where the BA begins to develop a group and while helping others within their organization to develop their group - the main requirement in becoming a Crown Ambassador. Rank advancement commissions act as a catalyst, providing motivation in starting this behavior. Please see chart below for rank advancement commissions.
To qualify for the Rank Advancement Commission, you must earn one of the below ranks and maintain the necessary PV for your rank. Rank Advancement Commission will be paid the following month after rank earned with monthly commissions.
Note: Sponsor placed Brand Ambassadors and their legs cannot be used to qualify a BA
for a Rank Advancement Commission. Rank Advancement commissions earned by a BA must be
generated from BA’s sponsored and their sponsored teams by the individual earning the Rank
Advancement Commission, and abide by the same 60/40 leg split needed to obtain rank
advancement.

The MIG Commission pays you the difference between your combined compensation and the MIG for your qualified rank that month. If your compensation is greater than the MIG no MIG is paid.
For example: If you earn the MIG qualified rank of Area Director on January 15th, February is your qualified month, as long as you maintain Area Director rank or above for the month of February. In February you earn $2,000 in compensation, so your MIG Commission is $500. $500 is the difference between your MIG of $2,500 and your earned compensation of $2,000.
The MIG Commission is paid on the 15th of the month following the first complete calendar month after you achieve the MIG qualified rank.
For example: You achieve the MIG qualified rank of Area Director on January 15th. The first complete calendar month following your promotion is February. As long as you continue to be qualified at Area Director or above in February, your first Commission will be paid on March 15th with your monthly commission payment. Continuing Example: If you are demoted from Area Director to ED during the month of February, your MIG for February is at the rank of ED, $500.
All MIG commissions are paid monthly. Monthly MIG are as follows: ED=$500, Area Director=$2,500, Regional Director Elite =$5,000, National Director Elite=$8,333, International Director Elite=$12,500, Vice Presidential Director Elite=$20,833, Presidential Director Elite=$41,666, Crown Ambassador Elite=$83,333.
When a new Brand Ambassador is sponsored, they go into the Sponsor Tree as a Level 1, or “frontline,” to the Brand Ambassador who sponsored them. Direct Sale Commissions (DSC), 50% Coded DSC Check Match, Team Override, and Coded Infinity commissions are paid based on the Sponsor Tree.
The Kannaway compensation plan allows the sponsoring Brand Ambassador the ability to sponsor a Brand Ambassador and place them under another Brand Ambassador on their team within 7 days from the date of enrollment. The sponsoring Brand Ambassador will still maintain sponsorship and will receive all sponsor commissions.
If at the end of 7 days, if a sponsor has not chosen to either place a new enrollment in their organization or decided to keep them first level, automatic placement rules will come into play. This dictates that the new enrollment if not placed, will be automatically under the newest enrollment in your lowest volume first level leg.
1 Rule of Sponsor place: BA being placed has to be within 7 days of date sponsored (join date).
New Brand Ambassador enrollments will now be collected in what is known as “The Waiting Room” for a period of up to 7 days. This is a more convenient view, collecting all new enrollments into one place, upgraded from previously only being able to see new enrollments in the personal BAs list.
As always you will have up to 7 days to place a BA in your organization, after that placement preference rules will take over and are as follows: New enrollments which have not been selected to remain first level, or have been placed, will be automatically placed by default under the newest enrollment on your lowest volume leg. For example, if you have three first level legs with volume amounts of 25,000, 10,000, and 5,000, if after 7 days you do not elect to keep that new enrollment first level or place them, they will automatically be placed under the most recently enrolled BA downline from the leg with 5,000 in volume.
