FAQs

What is a participant in GrowSurf?

A participant is anyone who receives a unique referral link (referrer) or signs up through one (referred friend), counted by unique email addresses. Participants are typically only those who actively engage with the referral program, not the entire user base.
How are users added to the referral program?

Users do not need to sign up separately. GrowSurf can automatically provide signed-in users with a unique share link when they visit the referral portal within your product or web app.
What happens if the participant limit is exceeded?

If the participant limit is exceeded, the account is automatically upgraded to the next plan tier on a prorated basis, provided a payment method is on file. Users receive email notifications at 50%, 90%, and 100% usage.
What types of rewards can be offered?

GrowSurf supports four reward types: double-sided, single-sided, milestone, and leaderboard. Reward fulfillment can be automated through third-party integrations for various reward types like gift cards, cash payouts, or account credits.
Can the definition of a successful referral be customized?

Yes, users have full control over what actions qualify as a successful referral, such as capturing a new lead's email or requiring specific actions like a first purchase or CRM status update.
