How referr.io works

Three transactions. One referral loop.

1

Transaction 1

Existing customer

A customer is at the counter. Your staff opens the dashboard and taps Create referral. A QR code appears — the customer scans it on their phone.

They land on their personal referrer page. It has two things: a private QR code they'll use to claim their reward later, and a share link to send to a friend.

Transaction 2

New customer (the friend)

The friend opens the share link and sees the promotion offer. They get their own QR code to show at the counter when they visit.

Your staff scans it — the friend's reward is confirmed, and the referral is recorded. The original customer is now one step closer to their reward.

Transaction 3

Repeat customer (reward)

The original customer comes back to claim their reward. They open their referrer page (or a screenshot they saved) and show the private QR code to your staff.

Staff scans it and marks the reward as given. The loop is complete — and you've turned one customer into two.
