Sharing Link

The referral sharing link is the URL a happy customer sends to a friend. By default Bloop builds these links on the shared domain r-bloop.cc, so a link looks like https://r-bloop.cc/d29azDx. You can swap that domain for your own and change the prefix on generated discount codes, so every link and code reinforces your brand.

This page covers the sharing domain, the custom-domain request, and the referral code prefix. To choose whether referrers share by link, by code, or both, see Choose a referral sharing method.

Best practice: Set a branded sharing domain before you promote your referral program widely. A link under your own subdomain converts better — friends recognise the source at a glance and are less likely to dismiss it as spam. Pair it with a recognisable code prefix — your store name or a word like FRIEND — so the discount code reads as clearly yours both to the friend redeeming it and to you scanning your Shopify discount list. The branded domain is a paid-plan feature.

The default sharing domain

Open Settings → General to see the Referral sharing URL card. The sharing domain field shows r-bloop.cc unless you have set a custom one. With the default in place, a referral link reads:

https://r-bloop.cc/d29azDx

The trailing part is the referrer's unique 8-character share code, assigned automatically when someone joins your program.

Use your own domain

A branded sharing domain (for example share.yourstore.com) makes links look professional and consistent with your store. Setting one up is a guided request rather than a single field, because it requires a DNS change on your side and activation on ours.

1. On the Referral sharing URL card, select Customize.
2. Contact support to get the IP address of the Bloop sharing service.
3. Point your chosen domain or subdomain to that IP in your DNS provider.
4. Tell support the sharing URL you picked. Bloop verifies the DNS and activates your branded sharing domain.

Once active, the domain is stored as your custom_share_url and every new referral link uses it in place of r-bloop.cc.

Custom sharing domain is available on paid plans. If your plan changes to one without it, the custom domain is removed and links fall back to r-bloop.cc.

Set the referral code prefix

When the referral code method is on, Bloop generates a discount code for each referrer. Every code starts with a prefix so it is easy to recognise on orders and in your Shopify discount list. The prefix defaults to BLOOP, producing codes such as:

BLOOP_d29azDx

You can change the prefix per store in your campaign settings. The code is built as the prefix, an underscore, and the referrer's share code, so a custom prefix like FRIEND yields FRIEND_d29azDx.

Sharing link vs sharing code

Setting	Controls	Where it lives
Referral link toggle	Whether referrers get a shareable URL	Campaign → Referral method
Referral code toggle	Whether referrers get a discount code	Campaign → Referral method
Sharing domain	The domain inside referral links	Settings → General
Code prefix	The leading text on generated codes (default BLOOP)	Campaign

At least one of the link or code methods must stay enabled — turning both off disables the referral program.
