How it works – your customers' experience

Your customer – the referrer

When your customers log in to their store account and open the Earn tab of your loyalty widget, they will see your Refer a friend earn option.
This will display the customer's unique referral link.

Their friend – the referred

The referred friend clicks through the shared unique referral link. They will then need to enter their name & email address. Their unique discount code will then be sent to their email inbox, ready for them to use on their first purchase.
