Step 500 refers to a start step in which the operator server 100 operates an e-commerce site on a membership system through online.

When the member 300 purchases as an independent buyer (first purchaser) in step 501 during the operation of the e-commerce site of the operator server 100, the cashback processor 130 controls the member step calculator 150. The member stage of the independent buyer status is calculated and stored in the DB, and the operator server 100 performs a normal purchase operation such as authentication / payment / delivery processing in step 610. Subsequently, when a first-stage recommendation purchase is established by the independent buyer in step 503, the operator server 100 performs a normal purchase operation such as authentication / payment / delivery processing in step 620, and the cashback processing unit in step 505. 130 controls the sales commission calculation unit 140 to calculate the discount rate of the first stage sales commission to be returned to the independent buyer, and controls the cashback calculator 160 to settle the payment to the independent buyer at step 507. The server 210 pays the first stage cashback profit. In addition, the first-stage recommendation buyer is calculated and registered as a first-level member in the middle stage.

Next, when a two-stage recommendation purchase is established by the recommendation of the first-stage recommendation buyer in step 509, the operator server 100 performs a normal purchase operation such as authentication / payment / delivery processing in step 630, and in step 511.

In step 513, the cashback processing unit 160 controls the independent buyer. Pay the two-step cashback profit through the payment server 210 to. In addition, the second-stage recommendation buyer is calculated and registered as a second-level member in the middle stage.

In addition, when the third-stage recommendation purchase is established by the recommendation of the second-stage recommendation buyer in step 515, the operator server 100 performs a normal purchase operation such as authentication / payment / delivery processing in step 640, and in step 517. The cashback processor 130 controls and processes the member stage calculator 150 to separate the first stage member (first stage recommended buyer) into a top member who is an independent buyer, and in step 519, the member stage calculator (step 519). 150) to increase the member level of the second and third level recommended buyers that were located in the lower level of the first level member by one step so that the second level recommended buyer is processed to the first level recommended buyer status below the independent buyer. And, the step 3 recommendation buyer is raised to the step 2 recommendation buyer status. In other words, if the recommendation purchase stage is developed from the independent buyer to the third stage, only the first-stage recommendation buyer, which is the lower stage of the independent buyer, is newly independent.

This is because the first-stage recommendation purchase may occur again by the independent buyer, or the first-stage recommendation purchaser may induce a two-stage recommendation purchase. This can be done at the same time or at the same time, so when all or one of these purchases occurs, the cacheback processing of the corresponding step (stage recommendation purchase or two-stage recommendation purchase) may be performed.

Similarly, if the three-stage recommendation purchase is not established in step 515, the cashback processing unit 130 waits until the three-stage recommendation purchase is established (step P1), or waits for the second-stage recommendation purchase to occur again (step P2). ), Wait for a first-stage referral purchase to occur again (P3).

As such, the online membership system step-by-step cash back service according to the present invention allows the customer to purchase the company's goods online by step-by-step purchase, and if the recommendation purchase is made in stages by applying the discount rate of the sales fee to the top member This is a way to cashback sales profits. Each stage member can make at least one recommendation of equal steps, and in the stage line, a new stage is formed at the lower stage. It is intended to form a separate recommendation purchase line.
