# Introduction

> Referbro — Shopify Referral Program

## What is Referbro?

Referbro is a Shopify app that helps merchants run a complete referral program. Turn your existing customers into brand advocates — they share a unique referral link, their friends get a discount, and they earn rewards.

**Here's how it works:**

1. 📢 **Customer shares** their unique referral link via WhatsApp or copy-paste.
2. 🛍️ **Friend visits** your store through the link and receives a discount.
3. ✅ **Friend makes a purchase** using the discount code.
4. 💰 **Referrer earns a reward** — cashback, store credit, gift card, or a discount code.
