Bitcoin Referral Rewards That Turn Customers Into Advocates
When a customer refers a friend and that friend makes a purchase, both sides earn bonus rewards. Your happiest customers become your best acquisition channel.

Referrals run themselves
Links are generated automatically. Tracking, attribution, and payouts happen without manual work.
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
Attribution and Tracking
Referral links are tracked automatically. You control the attribution window, which determines how long after clicking a referral link the friend's purchase still counts as a referral. Choose from 30, 60, 90, or 180 days.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Referral Program.
When a customer shares their referral link and a friend makes a purchase, both sides can earn rewards. The referred customer can receive a flat dollar amount in Bitcoin, and the referrer can earn a commission, either a flat amount or a percentage of the sale. Both rewards can be subject to a minimum purchase amount to protect your margins.
How to set up referral rewardsLifetime commission gives the referrer an ongoing percentage of every future purchase the referred friend makes, not just the first one. This keeps referrers motivated to remind friends and family about your business long after the initial referral. It's especially powerful for businesses with repeat purchases like consumables, subscriptions, or services.
Learn about lifetime commissionReferral tiers give your best referrers higher commission rates as they drive more revenue. You set spend thresholds and commission percentages for each tier, and referrers automatically advance as their cumulative referral spend grows. It works like a VIP program specifically for referrals. The more people they refer, the more they earn.
How to set up referral tiersEach customer gets a unique referral link that tracks clicks and purchases automatically. You set an attribution window (30, 60, 90, or 180 days) that determines how long after clicking a link a purchase still counts as a referral. Some platforms handle tracking out of the box, while others may require a small code snippet on your site.
How to set up referral trackingYou choose what the referred customer gets. On Shopify, the referred customer has the option to either use a discount code at checkout or receive Bitcoin rewards, so the program works even for people who don't care about Bitcoin. On other platforms, they receive Bitcoin rewards. Either way, the referrer still earns their commission.
Yes. On Shopify, you can link any existing discount code to a referrer. When a purchase comes through with that code, the referrer automatically gets credit without needing a referral link. This makes it easy for referrers to just tell their friends to use their code, like "use code JOHN for 20% off," and still earn their commission.
Yes. You can configure referral rewards to only apply to specific products or collections. This is useful if you want to push a particular product line or if your margins only support referral commissions on certain items.
Yes. Every referral link opens a branded landing page with your logo, colors, and reward details. You can also use your own custom domain so the link itself looks like it comes from your business, like rewards.yourstore.com.
How to set up a custom referral domainOshi automatically prevents self-referrals, so customers can't use their own link on their own purchases. If a referred purchase is later refunded or charged back, the associated referral rewards and commissions are automatically clawed back to your balance for both the referrer and the referred customer. You don't need to track or reverse anything manually.
Understanding reward clawbacksBoth sides receive notifications via email or text message. The referrer is notified when their referral results in a successful purchase, and the referred customer is notified about their bonus rewards. Everything is automated, and you don't need to send anything manually.
Technically, yes. You can set it up so only customers who arrive through referral or affiliate links receive rewards. However, we don't recommend it for most businesses. Purchase rewards are the gateway to the rewards portal and drive the most engagement. A full program with purchase rewards, referrals, and social engagement together delivers the best results.
Yes. Referral rewards and purchase rewards work independently. A referred customer can earn their referral bonus and their regular purchase rewards on the same order. The two programs complement each other.
