Customer referrals

Turn Your Regulars into Your Most Cost-Effective Acquisition Channel

Your best customers already recommend you. A structured, two-sided referral reward turns that into something you can actually measure, with nothing for you to track by hand.

  • Reward both the referrer and the friend
  • Link-based sharing, nothing to track manually
  • Zero caps on referral reach

Reward Both Sides, Automatically

One-sided referral offers feel like you are asking for a favor. Rewarding the friend creates a generous introduction instead of an awkward one, driving significantly higher conversion rates.

  • The referrer earns when their friend first visits
  • The friend arrives with a welcome offer already applied
  • Both rewards land automatically, with no staff involvement
  • Set the value on each side independently

Sharing That Fits How People Actually Talk

A link-based system means advocates can share your business in a group chat, a social story, or a text without printing anything or remembering a code.

  • A unique link per customer, shareable anywhere
  • Social sharing built into the app
  • Works in group chats, stories, and DMs
  • No limit on how many people one customer can reach

See Exactly What It Is Worth

Referral revenue is usually invisible. Here every introduction is attributed, so you can see who referred each new customer and what that customer goes on to spend.

  • Attribution from introduction to first purchase
  • See who referred each new customer
  • Track each referred customer's lifetime spend
  • Optimize your reward tiers based on acquisition cost

Why it matters

Word of Mouth You Can Actually Put a Number On

Most businesses know referrals matter and have no idea how many they get. This closes that gap without adding anything for your staff to remember.

Nothing to Track by Hand

Automate tracking without awkward codes, paper punch cards, or manual spreadsheets.

Rewards Only Unlock on a Real Visit

Issuing rewards only after a successful transaction ensures you never pay for unfulfilled introductions.

It Compounds with Your Loyalty Program

A referred customer lands straight into your rewards program, so the relationship keeps going after the first visit.

FAQ

Questions We Get About This

What stops someone gaming the referral reward?

Rewards only trigger on a verified first purchase from a unique account profile—ensuring unfulfilled introductions never pay out.

Can I change what each side gets?

Yes. The referrer incentive and the friend's welcome offer are configured independently, allowing you to optimize your acquisition economics based on customer lifetime value.
