## What is the referral workflow? <a href="#h_de8143df7a" id="h_de8143df7a"></a>

The referral workflow describes the step-by-step process of how your referral program works. There are two key roles:

* **Referrer**: A person enrolled in your referral program
* **Referee**: A person referred by a referrer

## How do referral program work with BLOOP?

#### 1. Referrer Enrollment

A customer signs up for your referral program and becomes a referrer if they meet the eligibility criteria. These criteria can include being a member, belonging to specific customer groups or tags, or having at least one completed order.

#### 2. Referral Link Assignment

Once enrolled, the referrer is provided with a unique referral link. This link can be shared directly with their friends to invite them to shop at your store.

#### 3. Referee Participation

When a friend (the referee) clicks on the referral link, they are prompted to enter their email, claim the discount, and complete a purchase. The referee can apply the discount only if their order meets the conditions you set, such as minimum order value or number of items. Once these conditions are satisfied, the order will be counted as a successful referral.

#### 4. Referrer Reward

After achieving one successful referral or reaching the minimum number of successful referees required, the referrer earns their reward. The reward is always issued in the form of a discount, which can be either a fixed amount or a percentage, depending on how your program is configured.
