Rewarding your members and referrals are a vital part of your referral program. Referral Rock offers many customizable reward options.
On the Reward page of the Program Editor, you can add multiple member rewards and a single referral reward.
Adding a new Reward Rule
Note: While you can have multiple member reward rules, there can only be one referral reward rule.
Select Add Member Rule or Add Referral Rule.
On the left sidebar, you can Enable or Disable the rule and optionally add an internal Description.
If you would like this particular reward to only be earned within a certain time frame, then check the Limit by Date button (for Member Rules only) and select the desired date range. If you would like the reward to be earned at any time, leave the option unchecked.
Choose the Type of Reward
Under the "Reward Member with" or "Reward Referral with" Sections, determine the type of reward that this rule will trigger. A list of all available options is below.
Choose Add New Reward
Reward types marked as Premium are available on our Professional Plus and Engage Plus plans.
Click here for an explanation of the settings found under each reward type.
Determine your desired settings, then select Finish in the top right corner.
Trigger reward when...
Select Setup
Determine your desired Status Trigger. This reward will be earned by the Member or Referral when the referral’s status is the chosen Referral Event Trigger: Pending, Qualified, Approved.
When a referral goes from Pending Status to Approved Status, the referral will also pass through Qualified status at the same time and therefore will trigger any Qualified Status rewards.
Additional Options
Number of Referrals Tier (For member reward rules only): Use a referral tier for a rule to only apply to certain referrals. For example, if you only want this reward rule to apply to the first 10 referrals.
Referral Sales Amount Tier: The reward will only be earned if the referral’s amount is meets the set requirements.
Determine desired settings and then select Finish in the top right corner.
Reward Delivery
Review & Issue
Manual Review
After a reward is triggered and earned, it will enter the Pending Rewards queue where it can be reviewed and issued to the member. This is helpful to prevent fraud and a best practice when using a new reward rule to make sure it’s functioning as expected.
Add Issue Delay (Optional): A delay can be added below if you want to prevent a member from getting a reward within a return policy time frame. After the delay passes, the reward can be issued to the member.
Issue Instantly
Automatic Rewards, no manual review needed. Rewards will immediately be delivered to the member. This option is best used after a Reward Rule has been tested using Review & Issue to ensure it’s functioning as expected and rewards are not issued on accident.
Double-check to ensure your reward is Enabled, and all sections are Finished, and select Save.
You have created your first Reward!
On the Reward page of the Program Editor, your reward will now be displayed. Under Actions, you can edit the reward, clone it, or delete it.
When your reward logic is met, your rule(s) will create a reward inside of Referral Rock, but you will still need to set up your payout account to fulfill the reward. Learn about setting up your payout account.
