Referral Rate
How It Works (4-Step Loop)
1
Customer gets their link
After purchase, every customer automatically receives a unique referral link via email and in their account dashboard.
2
They share it with friends
The link can be shared via WhatsApp, Instagram DM, email, or copy-pasted anywhere. The shared link shows '15% off first order'.
3
Friend makes a purchase
The friend clicks the link, sees the 15% off first order offer automatically applied at checkout, and completes their first order.
4
Both get rewarded
The referring customer receives £10 / $10 store credit. The new customer already got their 15% off. Both win. and the loop continues.
Programme Do's
Make the referral reward feel valuable relative to your product price
Give the new customer a meaningful first-order discount. removes their risk
Award credit instantly after the referred friend's purchase clears
Display the programme prominently on the post-purchase page and in the customer account
Programme Don'ts
Don't require the referred friend to spend a minimum before the reward triggers
Don't delay reward by more than 24 hours. kills momentum
Don't hide the programme. if customers can't find it they can't share it
Don't use codes that expire quickly. frustration kills word-of-mouth
