Referral Reward Setup

1. From the Trustoo loyalty admin, navigate to Program > Referrals > Referral rewards.

2. In the Referral rewards section, click Change to choose a reward type you'd like to offer your referring customer.

3. Click Edit, and complete reward value settings.

4. Click Save.

5. In the Referred friend reward section, click Change to choose a reward type you'd like to offer your referred customer.

6. Click Edit, and complete reward value settings.

7. Optional: Allow customers to share their referrals directly from the Trustoo loyalty Panel via Facebook, X, or Email. You can also pre-set the message they’ll share.

  • When customers click the Facebook or X icons, their social account page will open, letting them share your store instantly.

  • When they click the Email icon, their default email app will open so they can send the referral link by email. (Note: This option won’t work if there’s no email app installed on their device.)

8. Optional: Edit the URL that you would like to send your referred customers to.

9. Click Save to apply your chages.

Tip:

Trustoo loyalty recommends offering both the referring customer and referred friend a reward of the same value, to ensure both customers participate in the rewards program!

Note:

It is not possible to offer the referred friend Points as a reward option as they do not have an account to add the points yet.

The referring customer is a customer who has created an account at your store.

The referred friend is a brand new customer who has never shopped at your store before.

Smart Referral Flow Monitoring System

  • Automatic Suspicious Activity Detection: The system will automatically detect and block suspicious referral behavior, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the referral process.

Error Messages

1. Why can’t friends claim their referral discount when the subscription-supported app isn’t installed?

Under Trustoo Loyalty > Preferences > Orders > Subscription coupons, there is an option to reward subscription purchase types.

If this feature is enabled but no subscription purchase app is installed, the coupon rewards may not work properly.

To resolve this issue, please choose one of the following solutions:

  • Install a subscription purchase app if you wish to reward subscription purchases, or

  • Disable the subscription purchase type if you don’t need to offer rewards for subscription purchases.
