SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? It guides the design and optimization of customer referral and affiliate programs, covering incentive structures, viral loops, fraud prevention, and measurement so growth teams avoid ad-hoc program decisions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Program Design: Choose between referral and affiliate models, identify trigger moments, and structure single-sided, double-sided, or tiered rewards. - Optimization & Measurement: Diagnose low referral rates, run A/B tests on incentives and messaging, and track metrics like referral conversion rate and referred-customer LTV. - Launch Support: Use the pre-launch checklist, email sequences, and tool comparisons (Rewardful, Tolt, PartnerStack) to ship a program. - Use Case: A SaaS founder wants to add a referral program; the skill walks through LTV/CAC context gathering, incentive sizing, share mechanism selection, and a 30-day post-launch review plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design a double-sided referral program for your SaaS product, including incentive sizing, trigger moments, and a launch checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions about referral-program

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a customer referral program?▼

Start by identifying trigger moments such as the first aha moment or a milestone, then choose a share mechanism like in-product sharing or personalized links. Finally, pick an incentive structure: single-sided, double-sided, or tiered rewards.

What is the difference between a referral program and an affiliate program?▼

Referral programs reward existing customers for recommending to their network and suit lower-ticket, self-serve products. Affiliate programs pay ongoing commissions to creators or partners and fit higher-ticket products needing new audiences.

Should I use single-sided or double-sided referral rewards?▼

Single-sided rewards pay only the referrer and work for high-value products where simplicity matters. Double-sided rewards pay both parties, produce higher conversion, and frame the offer as a win-win for the referred user.

Which tools can I use to run a SaaS affiliate program?▼

Rewardful works for Stripe-native affiliate programs, Tolt targets SaaS affiliates, and PartnerStack handles enterprise partner programs. Dub.co covers link tracking and attribution, while Mention Me serves enterprise referral programs.

Why is my referral program getting low conversion rates?▼

Low conversion usually comes from a weak landing experience for referred users, an insufficient new-user incentive, or a missing referrer endorsement. Improve the referred-user onboarding flow and test stronger double-sided incentives.

How do I prevent fraud in a referral program?▼

Add verification steps and reward limits to block self-referrals and abuse. Define fraud prevention rules before launch and include them in the program's terms and conditions.
