How to customize your referral sharing link

The default sharing domain

Section titled “The default sharing domain”

The sharing link card in Settings

Open Settings → General to see the Referral - sharing URL customization 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/d29azDxK

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

If a friend opens a link that doesn’t work, because it was mistyped or cut short or the code no longer exists, they see This referral link isn’t working instead of an error. The page has a box where they can paste the share code or the whole link they received and continue. It shows in English, or in Vietnamese when that is the browser’s language, and carries no store branding.

Use your own domain

Section titled “Use your own domain”

Swap r-bloop.cc for a branded subdomain such as refer.yourstore.com. Setting one up is a guided request: you add a DNS record, and Bloop activates the domain.

  1. On the Referral - sharing URL customization card, select Customize.
  2. Contact support for the IP address of the Bloop sharing service (we share it privately).
  3. In your DNS provider, add an A record pointing your subdomain to that IP. If you also want the www. version to work, add the same record for it.
  4. Send support your chosen URL. Bloop verifies the DNS and activates it.

Provider-specific fields, all using record type A with your subdomain as the Name:

  • Shopify — put the IP in the Points to field.
  • Cloudflare — set Proxy status to Proxied. Setup video.
  • GoDaddy — leave TTL at the default. Help.

Once active, every new referral link uses your domain, for example https://refer.yourstore.com/d29azDxK, and so do the Referral Hub links in Bloop’s emails and in your Klaviyo or Mailchimp profiles. Custom domains require a paid plan that includes them. If you move to a plan without them, Bloop removes your sharing domain and links fall back to r-bloop.cc. Upgrading again does not bring it back: contact support to set it up again.
