Introduction

The Referral Program for the Core Sale allows you to create incentives for users to promote your project. By configuring referral rewards, discounts, and donations, you can drive organic participation and reward both users and aligned causes.

This article explains how the referral program works, the configuration options available, and how you can customize the system to fit your growth strategy.

Referral Program Configuration

Description

Explain your referral program to your community.

Write a clear, concise description of how your referral works. What users can earn, available discounts, and any unique aspects of your program.

Referral Percentage

Allocate a reward percentage

This determines how much of each eligible sale is allocated to the referral program. For example, setting this to 10% means that 10% of the sale will go towards rewarding referrers, leaving the remaining 90% for the project.

OneTreePlanted Donation

Support sustainability when no referral code is used.

Enable this option to donate a portion of sales to OneTreePlanted when a user checks out without a referral code. It ensures unused referral potential still contributes positively.

Referral Levels

Define the depth of your referral rewards.

First-Level Referrals

Default referral level: User A refers User B and earns rewards from B’s purchase.

Two-Level Referrals

Optional second-tier rewards: If User A refers User B, and User B refers User C, User A can still earn a reduced reward from C’s purchase.

Referral Discount

Offer buyers a discount when using referral links.

You can apply discounts universally or assign them to partners or KOLs.

Everyone

Apply a flat discount to all users who make a purchase through any referral link.

KOL Specific Discounts

Create unique referral discounts for selected influencers or community leaders.

This is ideal for tailored campaigns or regional partnerships.
 

Why It Matters

An effective referral program:

• Drives community-led growth
• Creates win-win incentives for both referrers and new participants
• Allows you to scale efficiently without traditional marketing spend

By leveraging your network and incentivizing ambassadors, you turn your community into your best growth engine.
