Right after a purchase is the best time to ask for a referral. The ReferRush Referral Link Extension shows customers their own referral link on your Thank You and Order Status pages, along with what they and their friends get.

To check that it’s added, open the Apps panel in the checkout editor and click the Added tab. Referral Link Extension should be listed there.

​
Customize it

In your ReferRush dashboard, go to Channels → Checkout Extension.
  • Hide the referral CTA on checkout: off by default, so customers see their referral link right after they buy. Turn it on to give customers their link only after their order is delivered. Until then, the section shows “You can refer your friends once your order arrives!”
The offer and reward shown in the referral section come from your Offer & Reward settings.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you clicked Save in the checkout editor after adding the block.
  • Make sure you added it to both the Thank you and Order status pages.
  • If the section only says “You can refer your friends once your order arrives!”, Hide the referral CTA on checkout is turned on in your ReferRush dashboard. Turn it off to show the link right after purchase.
  • Make sure your referral program is turned on in your ReferRush dashboard.
