Available on the Awesome plan for Shopify stores only
With Judge.me referrals, you can generate and display a referral link after your customers complete a purchase on your Shopify stores. Your customers can copy and share this referral link with their friends.
If you enable the "Friend reward" feature, your customer's friends can get a discount if they use the referral link to make a purchase.
If you enable the "Customer reward", your customer's friends can get a discount if they use the referral link to make a purchase, and your customer can also get a discount after the friends make a purchase.

How the referrals work
Here is how the referral widget will appear on the customer's checkout page when they completed the purchase. Your customer can copy the referral link and send to their friend. They can also share the link via WhatsApp, Twitter or Facebook.
When the customer's friend opens the referral link, they will see a "congratulations" page. To get the reward, they need to click on the "Claim your reward" button to go to your Shopify store and make a purchase.
Once your customer's friend makes the purchase, the coupon code will be automatically applied.
If you enable two-sided referrals, your customer can also receive a discount via email after their friend has made the purchase using the referral link they shared. This email will only be sent after the orders are fulfilled in Shopify.
Restrict the customers (referrers) from using their own referral coupon
A Friend reward coupon is generated after customer completed an order. They can send this coupon to their friends, so their friends can get a discount. If the customers make use of the Friend coupons to get a discount themselves, we have a few methods to restrict them to do so:
You (as the store owner) can enable the option "Only let new customers use these coupons". By using this option, only new customer with no previous orders can use the Friend reward coupon. Customer (referrer) who has an order history can't use the coupon.
If you don't enable the option "Only let new customers use these coupons", the customer may be able to use their own Friend reward coupon. In this case, we'll stop generating the next Friend reward coupons.
If you also enable Customer reward (2-sided referral), we won't send the Customer reward coupon to the customer if they use their own Friend reward coupon. In the future, if their friends actually use the Friend reward coupons, the customer will no long be eligible to receive the Customer reward coupon.
