A great way to improve your word-of-mouth sales is to introduce a referral program to your WooCommerce shop, and multiple studies show that people trust reviews from people they know.
With AutomateWoo Refer A Friend you can easily set up a referral program that is personalized for your shop.
Run a ‘coupon-based’ campaign where advocates can exchange a special coupon for each good recommendation, giving the friend a discount and the advocate shop credit. You can run solely ‘link-based’ campaigns if you don’t want to offer coupon discounts, where advocates can refer their friends to your store by sharing a unique link.
Why Use a Friend’s Refer?
Effortless handling of Referrals
Develop and maintain a WooCommerce client referral program easily, all from your admin area of WordPress. You can choose between an approval process for either automatic or manual referral.
Automatic approval collection ensures that any referral that does not appear to be fraudulent will be accepted automatically once the corresponding order has been marked as complete.
Method for Intuitive Referral
For lawyers, the customer referral process is simple and versatile, enabling sharing through email, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp.
The method is just as simple for the advocate’s mate, all they need to do is use a voucher to receive their referral discount.

The Avoidance of Fraud
Having fraud prevention strategies is critical for your customer referral program. Out of the box, our WooCommerce Refer A Friend add-on has a few fraud rules:
The referral will be identified as potentially fraudulent and will be blocked from auto-approval. The IP address of the Advocate matches that of the client. Matching IP addresses doesn’t necessarily mean that the referral is fraudulent, as co-workers who use the same IP address may share your shop.
Matching cookies-A cookie is put in the browser for advocates and they will not be able to use a referral coupon if present. The coupon can not be used if there is a contest.
Matching emails: The billing email is reviewed against any prior orders when trying to use a referral coupon. The coupon can not be used if there is a contest.
