AutomateWoo – Refer A Friend

AutomateWoo’s Refer-A-Friend Campaigns (Customized) It is a great way to increase your word-of-mouth sales, and numerous studies have shown that people trust recommendations from people they know personally, so adding a Refer a Friend program to your WooCommerce store is a fantastic way to take advantage of this opportunity. It is possible to rapidly set up a referral program that is tailored to your store by utilizing this add-on for AutomateWoo’s functionality. Run a campaign that is “coupon based,” giving advocates a unique coupon that they can give to their friends in exchange for a discount on their purchase and store credit for the advocate themselves for each successful recommendation. If you do not wish to provide customers with discounts in the form of coupons, you have the option of running campaigns that are solely “link based.” This allows advocates to recommend their friends to your store by providing them with a special link to share with their friends.

Effortless Referral Management

Create and administer a WooCommerce customer referral program with relative ease, all without leaving the WordPress dashboard area. You have the option of selecting either an automatic or a manual procedure for the acceptance of referrals. Any referral that does not appear to be fraudulent will be automatically approved once its corresponding purchase is marked as complete if automatic approval is enabled.

Intuitive Referral Process

The process of referring customers is made simple and versatile for supporters, who are given the option to share information via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp. The procedure is also straightforward for the advocate’s acquaintance, who only needs to use a coupon in order to benefit from the advocate’s referral.

Each advocate has a coupon code that is unique to them.

Post-Purchase Widgets

Promote the sharing of reference links by embedding a post-purchase share widget on the page that confirms an order and sending order follow-up emails that make use of the widget’s email version.

Fraud Prevention

It is essential for your customer recommendation program to incorporate fraud detection and prevention procedures. Our WooCommerce Refer A Friend add-on comes equipped out of the box with a few fraud guidelines, including the following:

Advocate IP address matches that of the customer – The referral will be marked as potentially fraudulent and will be blocked from auto-approval. Matching IP addresses don’t always mean that the referral is fraudulent as your store could be shared among co-workers who use the same IP address.
Matching cookies – Advocates have a cookie stored in their browser, and if they already have a reference coupon in their account, they will not be able to use it. In the event that a match is found, the discount will not be valid.
Matching emails – When a customer makes an attempt to use a referral coupon, their billing email address is compared to the list of all their previous purchases. In the event that a match is found, the discount will not be valid.

Reporting

Utilizing reports that detail the total number of orders placed by referrals is one way to determine how successful your customer recommendation program is.
