Customer referral program software

Q: What reward types can I offer?

You can offer percentage or fixed discounts, account credit, cash commissions, Shopify store credit, gift cards, or fully custom rewards such as eBooks or exclusive access. Multiple reward types can be combined within the same program.

Q: Does the reward depend on payment, or just signup?

You choose. Rewards can be triggered by signup, first purchase, or a loyalty milestone such as an anniversary. You can also require a minimum spend or a review period before rewards are issued.

Q: Can I run a referral program alongside an affiliate program?

Yes. Partnero lets you manage both referral and affiliate programs from the same dashboard, eliminating the need for separate tools or customer experiences.

Q: Is there a revenue cap on referral programs?

No. Partnero does not cap referral or affiliate revenue on any plan.

People are 4x more likely to buy when referred by someone they know. Partnero runs that loop automatically: give every customer a unique link, reward them when friends make a purchase, and track it all from a single dashboard.

How referral rewards work

Partnero supports these reward types out of the box:

Percentage or fixed discount

A coupon applied at checkout, either a flat amount or a percentage off.

Account credit

Added directly to the referred customer's or referrer's account balance.

Welcome bonus for the referred friend

A one-time reward triggered the moment they sign up, separate from the referrer's reward.

Store credit and gift cards

Shopify and Shopify Plus stores can reward with store credit or gift cards natively.

Custom rewards

eBooks, exclusive access, or anything else you define manually.

Rewards trigger on signup, first purchase, or loyalty milestones (birthdays, anniversaries). You can set a minimum spend to qualify, add a review period and choose one-time or recurring rewards.

Frequently asked questions

How does referral software work?

Referral software gives each customer a unique tracking link. When someone signs up or buys through that link, the software attributes the conversion, triggers the reward you've configured, and logs it for both people to see in their portal.

How do double-sided referral rewards work?

You set separate rewards for the referrer and the referred friend. For example, the referrer earns account credit when their friend converts, while the friend gets a welcome discount just for signing up. Both trigger independently.

What reward types can I offer?

Percentage or fixed discounts, account credit, cash commission, Shopify store credit and gift cards, or fully custom rewards like eBooks or exclusive access. You can mix reward types within the same program.

Does the reward depend on payment, or just signup?

You choose. Set the trigger to signup, first purchase, or a loyalty milestone like an anniversary. You can also require a minimum spend or a review period before the reward pays out.

Can I run a referral program alongside an affiliate program?

Yes. Partnero runs both from the same dashboard, so you're not managing two separate tools or two separate customer experiences.

Does Partnero work with Shopify?

Yes. Shopify stores can reward customers with store credit and discount codes, and Shopify Plus stores can issue gift cards natively.

Is there a revenue cap on referral programs?

No. Partnero doesn't cap referral or affiliate revenue by plan tier.

How is this different from Rewardful or PartnerStack?

Partnero combines affiliate and referral management in one platform with no revenue caps and an AI-assisted program builder, where tools like Rewardful and PartnerStack typically focus on a single program type. Both also come with additional costs as you scale: PartnerStack charges a base subscription plus a percentage fee (roughly 3-15%) on partner-generated revenue, while Rewardful caps revenue and features by plan (its Starter plan tops out at $7,500 in tracked revenue).
