Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.bloop.plus/getting-started/platform-navigation.md). # Platform Navigation The Bloop dashboard is organized into three areas: a **Referral** area for your customer referral program, an **Affiliate** area for your partner program, and a **Settings** area for store-wide configuration. Each area is split into tabs, and most tabs map directly to a feature doc. This page is your map of where things live, so when a doc says "open the Campaign tab," you already know which part of the app it means. Tab names and groupings stay stable even as the interface is refined, so this orientation describes the app by area and purpose rather than by where anything sits on screen. To understand the concepts behind these areas first, read [How Bloop works](/getting-started/how-bloop-works.md). ### The Referral area This is where you build and monitor your customer referral program. The tabs cover setup, the offer, and the results: * **Campaign** — Create and configure referral campaigns: the audience, rewards, and conditions that define your program. See [Create and configure a referral campaign](/referral-program/campaign.md) and [Set up referrer and referee rewards](/referral-program/rewards.md). * **Target audience** — Decide who is allowed to become a referrer. See [Set your referral target audience](/referral-program/target-audience.md). * **Sharing / referral methods** — Choose how referrers share — link, code, or both. See [Choose a referral sharing method](/referral-program/referral-methods.md). * **Branding** — Style the storefront touchpoints: the popup, the standalone page, the post-purchase screen, the account extension, and social sharing. Start with [the referral popup](/referral-program/branding/popup.md) and [referral page](/referral-program/branding/page.md). * **Customers** — View and manage the people in your referral program. See [Manage referral customers](/referral-program/management/customers.md). * **Orders** — Review referred orders and the rewards tied to them. See [Review and manage referral orders](/referral-program/management/orders.md). * **Fraud center** — Catch and review suspicious referral activity. See [Detect referral fraud with the Fraud center](/referral-program/management/fraud-center.md). * **Activity** — A chronological log of program events. See [Read the referral activity log](/referral-program/analytics/activity.md). * **Analytics** — The performance metrics behind your program. See [Read your referral analytics](/referral-program/analytics/analytics.md). * **A/B testing** — Compare reward variants to see what converts. See [A/B test your referral rewards](/referral-program/ab-testing.md). * **Emails** — The notifications sent to referrers and referees. See [Referral email notifications](/referral-program/emails.md). * **Integrations** — Connect referral data to your email platform. See [Klaviyo](/referral-program/integrations/klaviyo.md) and [Mailchimp](/referral-program/integrations/mailchimp.md). ### The Affiliate area This is where you run your partner program — recruiting affiliates, tracking the sales they drive, and paying commissions: * **Campaign** — Set the commission structure and cookie window, and run multiple campaigns. See [Affiliate campaigns and commissions](/affiliate-program/campaigns.md). * **Affiliates** — Add, approve, and manage your partners. See [Managing affiliates](/affiliate-program/affiliates.md). * **Sales** — Review the orders affiliates drive and approve the valid commissions. See [Affiliate sales tracking](/affiliate-program/sales.md). * **Payouts** — Record payments of approved commission and keep payment history. See [Affiliate payouts](/affiliate-program/payouts.md). * **Branding** — Configure the affiliate-facing portal and registration: the registration form, portal style, translations, on-site content, and the overall portal. See [the registration form](/affiliate-program/branding/registration.md) and [the portal guide](/affiliate-program/branding/portal-guide.md). * **Settings** — Payment methods and other affiliate-program configuration. See [Affiliate settings](/affiliate-program/settings.md). * **Emails** — The notifications sent to affiliates. See [Affiliate email notifications](/affiliate-program/emails.md). ### The Settings area Settings hold the store-wide configuration that both programs draw on: * **General** — Store-level options and program-wide preferences. See [General settings overview](/account-and-settings/general.md). * **Sharing link** — Customize the referral sharing link your customers pass around. See [Customize your referral sharing link](/account-and-settings/sharing-link.md). * **Portal link** — Customize the affiliate portal link your partners log in through. See [Customize your affiliate portal link](/account-and-settings/portal-link.md). * **Email sender** — Set the sender domain your program emails come from. See [Customize your email sender domain](/account-and-settings/email-sender.md). ### A note on finding things If a doc references a tab you cannot see, check that the matching program is enabled — the Referral and Affiliate areas appear independently, so a store running only referrals will not show the Affiliate tabs until that program is set up. New to either program? The two getting-started guides walk the setup end to end: [Getting started with referrals](/quick-start/getting-started.md) and [Getting started with affiliates](/quick-start/getting-started-1.md). ### Where to go next * Learn what each area does conceptually in [How Bloop works](/getting-started/how-bloop-works.md). * Look up any unfamiliar tab or term in the [glossary](/getting-started/glossary.md). * Follow the customer and partner experiences in [The referral journey](/getting-started/the-referral-journey.md) and [The affiliate journey](/getting-started/the-affiliate-journey.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.bloop.plus/getting-started/platform-navigation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
