The Customer Referral Program uses the shopping cart and Promotion engine to reward customers and their sponsoring reps for referring new customers. There are several options for customer referrals and/or the referring sponsor that can be leveraged to setup a customer referral marketing strategy.
To begin configuring a Customer Referral program, please see Customer Referral Configurations
Customer Referral information is available in Freedom Data Warehouse as ReferCustomerID on the Customers table.
ReferCustomerID is set during customer creation in the cart via the RESTFul API. This can only be changed or updated after customer creation by editing the customer in the corporate back office.
If APIs are in use for your enrollment process, then the ReferCustomerID parameter can be included when creating customers via API by using the following endpoint:
https://webapi.bydesign.com/{CLIENTNAME}/Api/POST-api-users-customer
Please modify the {CLIENTNAME} parameter with your specific environment name.
