Refer a Friend

M2

The Refer a Friend extension for Magento 2 is developed for launching and management the refer-a-friend programs. With this module, customers are able to start their referral programs right from the dedicated ‘Refer a Friend’ section in their accounts.

The main idea implemented is to make customer referral activity profitable for both merchants and their customers. In this light, shoppers invite their friends to make purchases sharing a specially created link or applying sharing icons. Thus, the more new shoppers visit a store and finalize their purchases the more rewards brand advocates obtain.

Such a way of customer referral activity arrangement encourages accelerating sales, enhancing customer loyalty, increasing brand awareness, and attracting new clients.
