Launch a referral program
Get a personal referral link in front of every member and reward both sides of the referral.
Why this matters
Referrals are the cheapest acquisition channel you have, but only if attribution works. The window between a click and a signup or first order decides whether the referrer gets credited at all, and a badly set window quietly kills the programme.
What you'll need
- A reward type decided for both sides - points, coupon, or value
- An attribution window (30 days is the default)
- 10 minutes
Steps
Turn on the referral program
Enable it from the Referrals section - every member gets a personal link automatically.
Choose your reward events
Reward a friend signing up, their first purchase, or both - each with its own on/off switch.
Set the reward type
Pick points, a coupon, or a fixed value independently for the referrer and the friend.
Set the attribution window
Decide how many days after clicking the link a signup or purchase still counts.
Put the link everywhere
It already appears in the popup, the member's Shopify account, and a storefront block you can style.
Check the referral history screen after the first week to see which channel - popup, account or storefront block - members actually use.
