Understanding the Referral Program
The referral program allows your members to invite new users to your app and earn rewards through a two-tier system. Here's how it works:
Free Signup Points: Members earn points immediately when someone they referred creates an account. By default, this is set to 25 points but can be adjusted.
Paid Conversion Points: If the referred user subscribes and maintains active access for a specified retention period (default is 14 days), the referrer earns additional points (default is 100 points).
How Members Use the Referral Program
Generate a Referral Code: Members can create a unique referral code from their profile.
Share the Code: They can share their referral link, which directs new users to sign up or purchase.
Track Referrals: When a new user signs up with the referral code, a record is created, and the referrer is awarded points immediately.
Earn Additional Points: After the retention period, if the referred user is still active, the referrer receives the paid conversion points.
Configuring the Referral Program
Enabling Referrals
To set up the referral program:
Navigate to App Station > Monetization > Referrals.
Enable the referral program by toggling the setting.
Set the Free Signup Points and Paid Conversion Points according to your preference.
(Optional) If you want to encourage immediate purchases, configure a Referral Checkout Link. This allows referral links to direct users to a checkout page with potential discounts.
Customizing Rewards
You can customize the points awarded for referrals:
Free Signup Points: Adjust the number of points awarded for immediate sign-ups.
Paid Conversion Points: Set the points for when the referred user subscribes. You can also set bonus points for specific offers, overriding the default values.
Important Considerations
Members can only have one active referral code at a time.
A user can only be referred once, and self-referrals are not allowed.
Referral codes are unique to your app and cannot be used outside of it.
