VIP tiers and referrals

Running a referral program

Give customers a share link that rewards both them and the friend they refer.

Turn your existing customers into brand advocates. Every loyalty member gets a unique referral link they can share with friends.

Where to find it

In the Miko app, open Program Setup → Referral Program.

How to set it up

  1. Turn referrals on

    Switch on Enable referral program.

  2. Set both rewards

    Enter the Referrer reward (points) and the Friend signup bonus (points).

  3. Choose the landing page

    Set the Referral Landing Page URL, the page on your store that referral links open, for example /pages/rewards.

  4. Save

    Save. Signed-in members now see their referral link in the widget.

Options

How it works

  • Customer shares their unique referral link
  • A friend clicks the link and lands on your store (the referral code is remembered in their browser)
  • The friend creates an account and joins, and receives the friend signup bonus straight away
  • When the friend completes their first paid order, the referrer is rewarded automatically

Configuring referral rewards

Go to Miko App → Program Setup → Referral Program and set:

  • Referrer reward - points awarded to the customer who referred (e.g. 500 bonus points per successful referral), paid after the friend’s first paid order
  • Friend reward - the extra points the new customer receives when they join, on top of the standard welcome points (e.g. 200 points). Set it to 0 to turn the friend bonus off
  • Referral landing page - where the link sends the friend

Where customers find their referral link

The referral link is visible inside the Miko rewards widget on your storefront. Customers who are logged in see a "Refer a Friend" section with their personal link ready to share.

Example

Referrer reward 500 points, friend bonus 200 points. Anna shares her link with Ben. Ben joins and gets his welcome points plus 200. When Ben’s first order is paid, Anna receives 500 points.
