In the app
Customer moments this feature can power
- A member gets a referral code or invite link from the loyalty portal, widget, or embedded program page.
- The invited customer receives a clear friend incentive, such as bonus points, a welcome reward, or a first-order perk.
- The referrer sees referral progress after the friend joins, buys, books, subscribes, or completes the qualifying event.
- Both sides can receive rewards once the referral qualifies, with activity recorded for reporting and follow-up campaigns.
In the dashboard
Controls merchants should expect
- Configure referral settings, advocate rewards, friend incentives, limits, and eligibility rules from the dashboard.
- Choose what counts as a qualified referral: signup, first purchase, booking, subscription, visit, or API event.
- Connect referral links to the widget, portal, storefront, custom app, or public V1 referral routes.
- Track referral records, conversion status, reward delivery, and suspicious repeat activity.
