Understanding the Referral Program
The referral program allows your members to invite new users to join your app. When a new user signs up using a referral link, the referring member earns points. This system operates on a two-tier reward model:
Free Signup Points: Members earn points immediately when a referred user signs up, regardless of whether they make a purchase.
Paid Conversion Points: After a retention period, if the referred user subscribes or makes a purchase, the referring member earns additional points.
How It Works
Code Generation: Members generate a unique referral code from their profile.
Sharing: They share their referral link, which can lead to either a free signup or a checkout page.
Tracking: When a new user signs up with the referral code, a record is created, and the referrer earns immediate points.
Retention Period: The referral remains pending for a set number of days. If the referred user maintains an active subscription, the referrer earns additional points.
Configuration Options
To set up the referral program, navigate to the Gamification settings in the App Station. Here are the key options you can configure:
Enable Referrals: Toggle to activate the referral program.
Free Signup Points: Set the number of points awarded for each new signup (default: 25 points).
Paid Conversion Points: Set the number of points awarded after the referred user subscribes (default: 100 points).
Referral Checkout Link: Optionally configure a checkout link that can apply a promo code for immediate purchases.
Referral Checkout Link
If you configure a referral checkout link, members can share links that lead directly to a purchase page, incentivizing new users to buy right away. This can include promotional discounts, making it more appealing for new users to sign up.
Refer a Friend Promotion
You can also add Refer a Friend promotional cards to your app using the Page Builder. This feature allows you to encourage members to share their referral links directly from your app interface.
Bonus Points for Offers
You can set specific bonus points for individual offers. This allows you to customize rewards based on different subscription plans, providing flexibility in how you incentivize referrals.
Important Notes
Members can only have one active referral code.
A user can only be referred once, and self-referrals are not allowed.
Referral codes are specific to your app and cannot be used outside of it.
