Referrals

Referral code is a unique number assigned to a customer account. A customer can use this code to refer friends to your marketplace and get rewarded. When a customer refers a friend to your marketplace, their referred friends get some amount (defined by admin) off of their first order.

Referral code can be set up from the admin dashboard. In the sidebar, navigate to Promotions under the Marketing subhead and click on Referrals. Here, you have the option to enable or disable (Status toggle button) referrals for your app.
