# How BLOOP referral link & referral code work?

BLOOP lets you choose between two referral methods: link and code. Both are tied to individual referrers but work in slightly different ways, and you can even enable both at the same time.

### 1. Referral Link

How it works: Each referrer gets a unique link. When referees (friends) click this link, they’re taken to your store. To claim their discount, referees enter their email and then receive a discount code to use at checkout.

When to use it:

* Perfect for a smooth sharing experience, especially on mobile.
* Great if you want to collect referee emails before they shop.
* Easy for referrers to copy and share through social media, messaging apps, or email.

### 2. Referral Code

How it works: Each referrer gets a unique referral code. Referees can enter this code directly at checkout to apply their discount.

When to use it:

* Ideal for offline or word-of-mouth sharing (like events or printed flyers).
* Good if you want referees to skip extra steps and apply discounts right at checkout.
* Useful when you want a memorable, branded code that sticks with customers.

Tip: Many stores turn on both link and code to give referrers and referees the flexibility to choose whichever method works best for them.<br>
