Building Referral Program

Our extension provides tools in creating a flexible referral program. Here is how it works:

1. The Customer invites some referees to the store, by using the My Referrals section on his account. There are two ways to do this:
   • By sending a mail of invitation, using Send Invitations form;
   • Send (or share on a social network, for example) the so-called Referral Link, displayed at Your referral link label.
2. Each of our invited customers(referee), receives a unique link that they could use in visiting our store. Our link contains a hidden data picked up by our controller, and recorded as a potential referral section;
3. If the Customer (the referee) registers during this session, he is registered as a referee. If he doesn't, he will be treated as a regular user after the expiration of the session - unless he uses a referral link again, (another potential record for him will not be created);
4. When referees register, the event Referred customer signs up in the store will be triggered. If Behaviour Rules were bound to it, they will also be triggered.
5. When a referee places an order, the event Order from a referred customer will be triggered. If Behaviour Rules were bound to it, they will also be triggered.
6. You can also create other Behaviour Rules for other events, and connect the referees to the referral policy, using Is a Referral special condition.
7. You can combine different rules to create a flexible referral program and extend your customer base with corresponding awards.
