# Referral links & codes

> Unique links, referral codes, coupon prefixes, branded links, and link destinations.

Every member gets a **unique referral link** and can also have a
**referral code** — two ways for friends to be tracked back to them.

## Referral links

Links are generated automatically when a member joins. Members find
theirs on the landing page, the widgets, and the
[member portal](/member-portal); you can copy any member's link
from their profile.

**Link destination** (Referral → Settings → Referral link) controls
where the link lands: **Home page**, a specific **Product**, or a
**Custom link**. *(Starter plan)*

<Tip>
  Sending referred friends to your bestseller's product page instead of
  the home page shortens the path from click to cart — worth testing if
  one product dominates your sales.
</Tip>

## Branded referral links

**Use branded referral links** puts your own domain in the link
(`yourstore.com/ref`) instead of a generic short link
(`go.refrl.co/r/xxx`). Branded links build trust and get more clicks.
You can enable this anytime — old short links keep working. *(Starter
plan)*

## Referral codes

Codes are short (5–12 characters, letters and numbers only) and work
like a shareable password — useful in conversation, on social, or
anywhere a link is clumsy. Create or edit a member's code from their
profile (**Create Referral code**).

## Coupon code prefix

**Coupon code prefix** (Referral → Settings) adds your prefix to every
generated referral coupon — e.g. `REF_XXXX` — so referral discounts are
instantly recognizable in your Shopify discounts list and order reports.
*(Essential plan)*

## Use cases & examples

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Clean accounting of referral discounts" icon="receipt" description="Prefix every referral coupon with REF_ for easy filtering.">
    Set the prefix to `REF`. Now your finance exports and Shopify
    discount list separate referral coupons from everything else at a
    glance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Influencer-friendly codes" icon="star" description="Give notable members memorable codes like SARAH10.">
    Edit the member's referral code to something speakable. Codes work
    everywhere a link can't — podcasts, stories, packaging inserts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Trustworthy links in email campaigns" icon="envelope" description="Branded links get more clicks from cautious audiences.">
    Enable branded referral links before your next email push — links
    on your own domain don't trip spam heuristics or reader suspicion
    the way short-link domains can.
