Add Referrals Page On Custom Website



For the referrals page to be shown on your website, make sure Nector is enabled (in the Account Settings page) and the referral program is also active.

Follow the below steps to add the rewards widget to your custom website.

1. Getting the code snippet on nector dashboard


Login to your nector dashboard.
Go the Referrals Page under On-Site Displays in Referrals Program.
Switch to the Code Snippet tab.
Scroll to the Custom Website section.
Copy the code by clicking on the copy button. See below image for reference.




2. Creating the page


Exact instructions for this step varies based on the technologies used for building your custom website. But the working principle remains the same.
You will have to create a new page on your custom website and insert the code snippet.

The code snippet is static for the most part except the customer_id which must be passed in when the customer logs into the website.

When using server side rendering


If you have built your custom website with php or a similar server rendered webpage, then you need to insert the customer_id in the code snippet at render time.

An example when php is used:

<script>var nector_params = { customer_id: "<?php echo $is_customer_logged_in ? customer_id : "" ?>" }</script>
<script async src="https://cdn.nector.io/nector-static/no-cache/reward-widget/mainloader.min.js" data-op="referral" data-api_key="abcd" data-platform="custom_website" ></script>


When using client side rendering


If you have built a client side rendered webpage using technologies like React, Vue, etc. then the above code snippet must be added dynamically on the frontend with Javascript.

Assuming that you are making an API call to your backend to get the customer details which includes the customer id, you can add the above code snippet using Javascript after the API call is done.
