    Common questions

    Do I have to become a member to shop?

    You set up a customer account through the referral process so you can shop online. The focus is on being a customer, not on joining a business.

    Access to the shopping platform is established through the referral process, which sets up a customer account so you can shop online for the products your household uses.

    The emphasis is on being a customer. Shopping is the primary activity — purchasing products for your household, choosing items you actually use, and having them delivered to your door.

    Any optional referral or business activity is separate from simply shopping and is only relevant for people who specifically want to learn about it.
