Note: Make sure your store is connected, as this referral program feature will work only then.
Just login to your AfterShip Affiliates account and click on the ‘Enabled’ option of the ‘Referral status’ section.
Choose the reward type. For example, we have selected 'Percentage off'
Set the ‘Discount value’ for your advocates (referrers). Be careful while entering the value because your brand advocates will get a coupon code on their email ID as a reward when a referee makes the first successful purchase from your store.
In case you want to offer a discount based on a particular cart value, click on the given checkbox and define the value. Similarly, you can set the expiry date for the reward coupon as well. For example:
Now, choose the reward type for referees (referred friends) and mention the discount value. Again, be attentive while setting this value because when a referee visits your store after clicking on a referral link, he/she will get a coupon code of the amount you’ve mentioned in the ‘Discount value’ field.
In case you want to offer a discount based on a particular cart value, click on the given checkbox and define the value. Similarly, you can set the expiry date for the reward coupon as well. For example:
Tap on the ‘Save’ button to finish the process.
Now, you’ll see a referral program running on your store like this:
In case your customer has already logged in to your store, their email address will automatically be saved. It means they don’t have to enter their email ID again to get the referral invite link.
Once your customers click on the ‘Get invite link’ button, a unique link will be generated. It can be shared via Email, Facebook, and Twitter. Even your customers can copy it to the clipboard and share it in a way they like.
Once a successful referral connection is established, your customers-cum-brand advocates will receive their reward (discount coupon) in the following email template.
