# Quick start: launch your referral program

> Set rewards, publish the landing page, and share your program — in minutes.

By the end of this guide, customers can share a link and both sides earn
a reward on the friend's first order.

<Info>
  Finish [Installation & onboarding](/installation) first — the
  app embed must be active.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check your reward rules">
    Go to **Referral → Program**. The onboarding wizard already created
    your rewards under **Reward Setup** — typically one **Referrer**
    reward and one **Friend** reward. Click a rule to adjust the type
    (Percentage Discount, Fixed Discount, Free Shipping, Free Product)
    and value.

    <Tip>
      A proven starter combo: friend gets 10% off their first order,
      referrer gets a \$10 coupon after the friend buys. Both sides win,
      and the friend condition "first order only" keeps it honest.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish the landing page">
    On the same Program tab, under **Branding & Popups**, make sure
    **Referral Landing Page** is enabled — its **Page URL** appears on
    the card. Click **Customize** to match your brand.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on the Safe Referral Reward Popup">
    Also under Branding & Popups. When someone clicks a referral link,
    the popup captures and verifies their email, then unlocks the
    reward only for first-time purchasers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the full loop">
    1. Open your storefront and join the program (via the landing page
       or floating button).
    2. Copy your referral link, open it in a private window, and claim
       the friend reward with a different email.
    3. Place a test order with the friend coupon.

    <Check>
      The sale appears under **Referral → Sales & Analytics**, and the
      referrer's reward is issued (automatically, or pending approval if
      you chose manual approval).
    </Check>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Spread the word">
    Share the landing page link everywhere your customers are — order
    confirmation emails, SMS, social bios. The
    [thank-you page widget](/referral/widgets-pages) also
    invites every fresh buyer automatically.
  </Step>
