Researched and fact-checked by Bartu Cavusoglu · Updated October 26, 2026
ReferralYard is a referral marketing program built for online stores, local businesses and B2B services. Its goal is to help merchants grow sales through word-of-mouth by turning existing customers into a low-cost acquisition channel.
Customers share a store's offers with friends and family, and the merchant rewards both the sender and the receiver. The company positions it as a way to acquire high-value clients at a low cost, increase retention and grow revenue through a targeted referral program.
A merchant connects a store, using a 1-click installation on supported platforms, then configures the referral offer and rewards. Customers receive ways to share through email, Facebook and Twitter, WhatsApp, SMS or a direct link.
Prompts appear on the site as widgets, popups, notifications, post-purchase items, on-page reminders or exit-intent messages. Automated emails after an order ask repeat customers for referrals, and a dashboard lets the merchant moderate sharing activity and link clicks.
Reward flexibility is central: a fixed amount off coupon, a percentage off coupon, a cash reward, a manual reward or no reward, with separate settings for sender and receiver. Widgets can be restyled in color, size, images and wording to match brand voice.
Operational tools include automatic fraud protection, translation to any language and removal of ReferralYard branding on Growth. Premium adds performance tracking, analytics and insights, a CSS editor, scheduled rewards and a custom sender email.
