Referrals
Set Up Referrals
Overview
The Referral System allows users to earn points for inviting friends to download and engage with your app.
Both parties can be rewarded:
- The Advocate (person sharing the app)
- The Friend (person receiving the referral)
Referrals help drive new user acquisition while rewarding loyal customers.
Access Referrals
- Go to Community Menu
- Select Referrals
Configure Referral Actions
You’ll see a list of actions that can trigger referral rewards, such as:
- Downloading the app
- Joining the Community
- Watching Reels
- Making a purchase
- Posting content
- Liking content
Each action can be:
- Enabled or disabled
- Assigned specific point values
Advocate Rewards (Referrer)
The Referral column defines how many points the advocate receives when their friend completes an action.
Example:
- Friend downloads app → Advocate earns X points
- Friend makes purchase → Advocate earns Y points
Ongoing Rewards
You can optionally:
- Reward the advocate continuously for future purchases made by their friend
- Create long-term incentive structures
Advocate Purchase-Based Rewards
There are separate reward settings for:
- Advocates who have made a purchase
- Advocates who have not made a purchase
This allows you to:
- Reward loyal customers more generously
- Limit point farming from users who haven’t engaged with your brand
Friend Rewards
You can also choose to reward the referred friend for completing actions (e.g., joining, purchasing).
Best Practices
- Offer stronger incentives for advocates who are paying customers.
- Reward meaningful actions (e.g., purchase over app download).
- Consider ongoing purchase rewards for long-term growth.
- Monitor referral abuse and adjust point limits if needed.
- Combine referrals with loyalty levels for VIP ambassador programs.
The Referral System helps turn your customers into advocates while driving organic growth and engagement.
