A customer referral link is established one of three ways:
Customer Referal information is available in Freedom Data Warehouse as ReferCustomerID on the Customers table.
ReferringCustomerDID is set during customer creation in the cart via the RESTFul API, but can only be changed or updated after customer creation by editing the customer in the corporate backoffice.
If APIs are in use for your enrollment process, then the "ReferringCustomerDID" parameter can be included when creating customers via API by using the following endpoint:
https://webapi.bydesign.com/{CLIENTNAME}/Help/Api/POST-api-users-customer
Please modify {CLIENTNAME} parameter with your specific environment name on the online documentation URL. Also, remove the word "HELP" from the path when testing the api call from your preferred API application.
