Frequently asked questions

What is a referral program?

A referral program incentivizes customers to recommend your brand by rewarding them for referrals. Customers share a unique URL with friends and family through SMS, social media, WhatsApp, or email. Rewards are claimed once the new customer fulfils the referral terms, like making a purchase.

How many points should I award for referrals?

More points typically lead to higher returns. For maximum impact, offer existing customers enough points for a reward or 15% of the minimum purchase value.

‘Give and get’ programs, rewarding both the referrer and the referred friend equally, are the most effective.

What happens to the referrer’s points if their referred friend returns a purchase?

If a referred friend returns their purchase, any points the referrer earned for that referral remain in a ‘pending’ state and are ultimately not awarded. The referrer’s points are contingent on the referee’s purchase being finalized.

Can I limit the number of referrals a customer can make?

Yes, to prevent misuse, LoyaltyLion allows you to set a cap on the number of referrals each customer can make.
