Articles on: Setting up Referral (End-to-end)

Setup the referral program

Acquiring new customers through referrals is often more cost-effective than other marketing methods as satisfied customers are essentially doing the marketing for you. Encouraging referrals is a great way to reinforce customer loyalty. When customers are satisfied and engaged enough to recommend a business, it indicates a strong connection with the brand, thus Nector has a dedicated referral program which you can use.

To enable the referral program,

Go to the Referrals Program Page.

Enable the referral program by toggling the status button on that page. After enabling you will see the below view.




Click on the Rules section from the side-bar. Under General Settings, you can find




Referral Flow Type - Select your preferred method for sharing referrals. You can opt for Mobile, Email, or choose a Referral Coupon Code. With the coupon code, you'll receive a unique code to share directly with your family and friends, allowing them to sign up on the store and enjoy the benefits.

Kindly follow this article to properly set up the coupon code based referral flow.

Reward The Customer When The Friend's Order Has The Below Status: You can control when the referrer should get the reward using this field. The suggested value is Order Completed. Refer to the below screenshot to see the list of available statuses.
