Feature FAQ
Questions buyers ask before choosing referral software.
These answers focus on what the platform actually does and how the feature set maps to the full referral workflow.
What features does Referral Factory include?+
Referral Factory includes branded campaign pages, referral links, QR codes, referral codes, referrer portals, popups, sticky bars, website widgets, lead forms, email workflows, analytics, reward management, fraud controls, integrations, webhooks, API access, uploads, and campaign settings for launch and optimization.
Is Referral Factory mainly a referral link tool?+
Referral links are the primary sharing method because they are easy to click and easy to track, but the platform covers more cases. You can also use referral codes, QR codes, lead submission forms, embedded portals, uploads, API workflows, and integrations when the referral does not start with a simple link click.
Can Referral Factory promote a referral program after launch?+
Yes. The platform includes multiple promotion surfaces: built-in emails, email blasts, on-click popups, sticky bars, website widgets, branded portals, embedded portals, social sharing, and CRM-driven referrer onboarding. The goal is to make the referral ask visible without relying on one launch email.
How does Referral Factory track conversions?+
Referral Factory keeps attribution from the referrer to the referred lead, then qualifies the referral when the chosen business event happens. That event can come from a CRM stage, Stripe payment, referral code redemption, webhook, API call, Zapier or Make workflow, JavaScript event, CSV upload, or manual review.
What reward features are available?+
Teams can offer cash, gift cards, account credits, coupons, discounts, custom rewards, delayed rewards, double-sided rewards, manual approvals, or automated issuing. Reward workflows can connect to providers like PayPal, Tremendous, Stripe, Zapier, Make, webhooks, or your own internal process.
Does Referral Factory work for teams without developers?+
Yes. Most teams can launch with the no-code builder, hosted pages, templates, uploads, emails, and standard integrations. Developer options are available when you need deeper control, including API, webhooks, JavaScript snippets, custom HTML pages, and embedded experiences.
Is Referral Factory built for medium-sized and large organizations?+
Yes. Referral Factory is designed for established organizations with meaningful customer bases and more demanding brand, workflow, security, and compliance requirements. Teams can deeply customize the customer experience, connect referral activity to existing CRM and payment systems, automate qualification and rewards, use SSO and role-based access, and scope enterprise data-hosting options when internal policy requires them.
Which integrations matter most for referral programs?+
The most important integrations are usually CRM, payment, automation, email, and API connections. Referral Factory supports workflows with HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom, Zoho, Pipedrive, Monday, ServiceTitan, Stripe, Zapier, Make, n8n, webhooks, and custom systems.
What should I look for when comparing referral software features?+
Look beyond a long feature list. The important question is whether the platform can support the full loop: how people join, how they share, how attribution is preserved, how conversions are qualified, how rewards are controlled, how fraud is prevented, and how data flows back into the systems your team already uses.
