      Retail | Referral Codes

      BLAZE has enabled referral code marketing to create repeat customers for your cannabis retail location.

      Being able to accomplish your loyalty marketing in the dashboard that runs your point of sale system saves you time and helps you reward your repeat buyers.

      NOTE:  Referral Codes can only be used with the BLAZE Loyalty Program and are available as a feature flag request. Please contact support to have this feature enabled.

      Overview

      • NOTE:  Version 5.3 or higher is required for the Retail POS App.

       

      Referral Promotions vs Regular Promotions

      • Regular Promotions can have referral code/s attached to them, created within the promotion settings.
      • Your "Referral" Promotion is done in the same interface you create/enable your promotions, but with a few different settings choices.
        • Each referral code will have a QR code associated with it.
        • Referral Promotions act very similarly to other Promotions. Except these referral codes are coming from the Referral Member's profile. 
      • All Promotions can specify date ranges, discount amounts, promo codes, and other rules.
      • Referral Promotions give individual shops the ability to define the points earned to the Referral member, per successful use. 
      • Loyalty point accrual rates are set up and defined by each company for every transaction.
      • Referral Loyalty points are defined by the promotion settings.

       

      How to Set Up a Referral Code Program
