Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Referral Program

How do referral tracking links work?

Each client gets a unique link they can share. When someone books through that link, the system automatically credits the referrer. Works on any device, even if the new client bookmarks and returns later.

What types of rewards can I offer?

Studio credit, percentage discounts, fixed dollar amounts, free services, or custom rewards. You can also set different rewards for different services or referral tiers.

When do rewards get applied?

You control when rewards trigger: when the referral books, completes their appointment, or pays. A common setup is to reward after the first completed appointment.

Can I limit how many referrals someone can make?

Yes! Set limits per period or lifetime. You can also cap total rewards or set minimum/maximum values.

How do I promote the referral program?

We provide email templates, social graphics, QR codes for in-studio promotion, and automated post-appointment reminder emails. Make it easy for clients to share.

Can I see who my top referrers are?

Absolutely! The leaderboard shows top referrers, total referrals, conversion rates, and revenue generated. Use this to reward your best ambassadors.
