Technical integration
Your referral programme is powered by JavaScript tags embedded on your website. The core tags to implement are:- Referrer tag — displays the referral offer to existing customers (typically on the order confirmation or account page)
- Referee tag — captures referred visitors at checkout and attributes the referral
- Landing page tag (optional) — hosts a standalone referral landing page on your domain
- Dashboard tag (for subscription or non-standard setups) — gives customers an ongoing view of their referral activity
Where and why to implement tags
Understand each tag placement and its purpose.
