# How to Confirm a Referral Purchase
> Manually confirm a referee's purchase in the merchant dashboard so referral rewards are issued when eligibility isn't detected automatically.
Confirming a purchase sends a reward to the referrer. If the offer includes an "after purchase" reward, the referee also receives one.
Mention Me usually confirms a qualifying purchase automatically. You may need to confirm one manually if:
* The referee used a different email for their purchase than the one they used to sign up
* Your integration isn't sending orders with the correct email
## Steps to Confirm a Purchase
Go to mention-me.com/merchant and click **Customers**.
You must search for the **referee** (the new customer), not the referrer, to confirm a purchase.
Search using the referee's email, name, customer ID, or share link.
Click the customer's profile to open their record.
Click **Actions**.
Click **Confirm Purchase**.
There are two ways this step can proceed, depending on the order.
If the purchase was below the minimum spend, you can still confirm it to issue rewards.
If the purchase is part of a promotion, you'll see whether confirming it applies to that promotion.
Click **Confirm New Purchase** to proceed.
Refresh the page and find the customer's record again to confirm it was successful.
The referral now appears as linked under the customer's **Activity Timeline**.
Under the **Rewards** section, you'll see the code that was issued. If you have the right permissions, click **Reveal** to display it.
