Zero Ad Spend Acquisition

Every referral is a new customer you did not pay an ad platform for. Your existing customers do the marketing for you.

Built-In Trust

People buy from brands their friends recommend. A referral converts at a higher rate than any ad because the trust is already there.

Self-Sustaining Growth

New customers become referrers themselves. One referral can turn into a chain of new buyers without any extra effort from you.

Dual-Sided Referral Rewards

Set what the referrer earns and what the new customer receives, independently. Reward both sides, or just one. On Shopify, referred customers can choose between a discount or Bitcoin rewards.

  • Bitcoin rewards give referrers something real to earn, not just another coupon
  • Customers who prefer store credit can always redeem their rewards that way
  • Percentage-based or fixed dollar amounts for each side
  • Minimum purchase requirements to protect your margins

Lifetime Commission for Ongoing Growth

Enable lifetime commission to give referrers an ongoing percentage of every future purchase their referred friend makes. This is particularly powerful for businesses with high repeat-purchase rates like consumables, subscriptions, or services. Your best referrers become long-term growth partners.

  • Referrers earn on every future order, not just the first
  • Set a custom commission percentage for lifetime earnings
  • Ideal for subscription and repeat-purchase businesses
  • Referrers have continuous incentive to keep referring

Tiered Commissions That Reward Performance

Create escalating commission tiers based on cumulative referral spend. As a referrer drives more purchases through their link, they automatically move into higher commission tiers. Most businesses use 3 to 5 tiers, but there is no hard limit.

  • Define tiers with spend thresholds and commission percentages
  • Tier placement is automatic based on cumulative referral spend
  • Referrers and customers see their tier progress in the rewards portal
  • Switch between tiered and flat-rate modes anytime

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Referral Program.

After customers make a purchase, they automatically get access to a personal referral link for your business. When they share this link and someone makes a purchase, the referrer earns Bitcoin commissions (you set the rate) and the new customer gets bonus rewards. This turns your customers into a distributed marketing team, driving new customer acquisition while you only pay for completed transactions. It's performance-based marketing built into your loyalty program.
You control both the referrer commission and the referee bonus in your dashboard. Common setups: give the referrer 10-20% commission on the first purchase, and give the new customer 5-10% bonus rewards. You can also choose to offer lifetime commissions (at reduced rates) to reward your best promoters. Test different rates to find what drives the most referrals for your business.
Referrals are automatic - any customer who makes a purchase can share their link and earn commissions. Affiliates are curated partners who apply through your affiliate signup portal and get approved by you. Affiliates typically get custom discount codes and can have customized commission rates. They're usually influencers, content creators, or active promoters who will dedicate effort to marketing your business.
Your business gets a dedicated affiliate signup portal where prospective affiliates can apply. You can configure it to auto-approve affiliates or require manual approval. When someone applies, both you and the applicant receive email notifications. The application includes their email, website/social platforms they'll promote on, and other relevant details. From your affiliate management dashboard, you can approve, deny, or edit commission percentages for each affiliate at any time.
Yes! You can edit affiliate commission percentages at any point from your dashboard. This flexibility lets you reward top-performing affiliates with higher rates or adjust commissions based on performance. You have complete control over your affiliate program economics.
With lifetime commissions enabled, affiliates earn Bitcoin rewards not just on the first purchase from their referrals, but on all subsequent purchases too. You set both the first-purchase commission rate (typically higher, like 10-20%) and the ongoing commission rate (typically lower, like 2-5%). This creates long-term partnerships with affiliates who'll keep promoting your business for years because they earn passive Bitcoin income from their network.
Yes! You can assign custom discount codes to affiliates in your merchant dashboard. This is perfect for influencers who prefer sharing codes with their audience (like 'INFLUENCER20' for 20% off). The affiliate still earns Bitcoin commissions on these sales, and you can track which codes drive the most revenue.
First-purchase commissions (10-20%) drive quick referrals and new customer acquisition. Lifetime commissions (2-5%) create long-term partnerships with your best promoters who'll keep promoting your business for years. Many businesses use a hybrid: higher rates on first purchase, then reduced lifetime rates. Test both to see what works for your business model and margins.
