How do I reward both referrer and referee?

Yes — Roadmap supports two-sided referral rewards. This means:

  • The referrer (your existing customer) gets a reward once their friend makes a purchase.
  • The referee (the new customer) also receives a reward for placing their first order.

How It Works

  1. Customer shares their referral link/code
    • Roadmap generates unique referral codes/links automatically.
    • The referrer shares them with friends.
  2. Friend places their first order
    • The friend uses the referral link/code at checkout.
    • They instantly receive the referee reward you’ve set up (discount or points).
  3. Referrer is rewarded
    • Once the friend’s order is confirmed, Roadmap automatically delivers the reward to the referrer.

👉 Both parties benefit — encouraging more referrals and higher conversions.

Step 1: Configure Referrer Reward

In Roadmap → Loyalty → Referrals → Referrer Reward:

  • Choose reward type:
    • Points (add to balance).
    • Discount (percentage or fixed amount).
  • Add restrictions:
    • Applicable products/collections.
    • Minimum spend requirement.
    • Quantity limits.
  • Example: Referrer gets 500 points once their friend completes a $100 order.

Step 2: Configure Referee Reward

In Roadmap → Loyalty → Referrals → Friend Reward:

  • Choose reward type:
    • Discount (percentage or fixed amount).
    • Points (optional, though most use discounts to encourage the first purchase).
  • Add restrictions:
    • Specific collections (e.g. valid only on “Perfume Minis”).
    • Minimum spend.
  • Example: Friend gets 20% off their first order of $150+.

Example Referral Flow

  • Referrer (Alice): Shares referral link with a friend.
  • Referee (Ben): Uses the code and gets $15 off his first order of $100+.
  • Alice (Referrer): Once Ben’s order is completed, Alice automatically receives 500 loyalty points.

Why Reward Both?

  • Boosts participation → Friends are more likely to convert if they get a discount.
  • Builds loyalty → Referrers feel valued for spreading the word.
  • Drives growth → Double-sided rewards create a viral loop.
