By default, this is usually your store’s homepage, but you can customize it to direct visitors to a specific product page, collection, or any other page within your store.

### Fraud Protection These settings help you prevent abuse and ensure that referral rewards are earned fairly. By configuring these options, you can control if rewards should be allowed or blocked based on suspicious behaviors.

* **Advocate and Friend use the same browser:** Choose whether to allow or prevent rewards if both the advocate and the referred friend use the same browser. * **Same Advocate and Friend IP address:** Decide if rewards should be granted when both parties share the same IP address. * **Allow Friends that are** * **Customers who have yet to create customer accounts:** Only new visitors without accounts can qualify. * **Customers who have never purchased:** Allows existing accounts that haven’t placed any orders. * **Any customer:** No restriction, all customers are eligible. ### Advocate eligibility This setting allows you to choose who can join your referral program as an advocate: * **Anyone:** anyone can join. * **Only logged-in customers:** customers must log in to their store account to join. This works with the referral popup, referral page, and customer account page. * **Only customers who have placed orders:** only customers who have already ordered from your store can join. Enter the **Minimum number of orders** a customer must have placed to join. {% hint style="info" %} Existing advocates aren't affected when you change this setting. {% endhint %} > For example, if you only want repeat customers to share your products, select **Only customers who have placed orders** and set the **Minimum number of orders** to 2. Customers with fewer than 2 orders can't join.

### Reward limit per month Limit how many rewards one advocate can earn in a month. Referral orders over the limit are still recorded, but no reward is sent. To set a limit: 1. Switch the toggle to activate the limit. 2. Enter the **Maximum rewards** an advocate can earn each month. > For example, you set the maximum to 10. Once an advocate has earned 10 rewards in a month, their further referral orders that month are still recorded, but no reward is sent.

### Assign Tags to Orders/Customers on Shopify Specific tags are automatically added to orders and customers in Shopify based on their participation in your referral program. These tags help you easily identify and manage referral-related data within your Shopify admin.

* **Referral Orders:** All orders generated through the referral program will be tagged as Referral-BixGrow. * **Customer - Advocates:** Customers who join your referral program as advocates will be automatically tagged as Advocate-BixGrow * **Customer - Friends:** Customers who were referred by advocates will receive a tag as Friend-BixGrow

### Marketing consent request A marketing consent request will be displayed when customers participate in your referral program. It helps you stay compliant with email marketing regulations while growing your subscriber list.

### Language You can add multiple languages to support different audiences and ensure your referral program is accessible to a wider range of users. Content will be automatically displayed in the customer’s preferred language based on their browser settings.

You can also set a default language, which will be used when a customer’s preferred language is not available.

### Email automation about Advocates Automated email notifications are sent to advocates throughout their referral journey, helping keep them informed and engaged. We currently support 4 types of automated emails: * **Welcome Email:** Sent when a customer signs up as an advocate. This email provides them with their referral link and helps them get started. * **Pending Reward Email:** Notifies advocates when they have a successful referral that is still pending approval. * **Reward/Gift Email:** Sent when a referral is approved, delivering the reward (such as a discount) to the advocate. * **Ineligible Reward Email:** Informs advocates when a referral does not qualify for a reward. You can customize the content of each email by clicking on the corresponding email type, allowing you to tailor messaging to match your brand voice and program rules.
