The website widget adds a floating button to your website (e.g. in the bottom-right corner). When visitors click the button, it opens your Branded Referrer Portal as an overlay — letting them sign up, get their referral link, and track their referrals without leaving your site.
Accessing the widget configuration
There are two ways to open the Website Widget settings:
The configuration has two steps: Settings (design the button) and Install (get the code). Use the Next and Previous buttons at the bottom to move between steps.
- From the Promote page — Click the Website Widget card, then click Website Widget Configuration.
- From the sidebar — Go to Onboard Referrers → Website Widget. If you don't see it in the sidebar, you can enable it from the Promote page using the eye icon on the Website Widget card.
Step 1: Settings
The Settings step lets you customise the appearance and position of the widget button. The left side shows a live preview of how the button will look on your website. All options are under Design settings.
Widget design
- Size of button — choose from Small, Medium, or Large
- Corner radius of button — choose from None, Small, Medium, or Large
- Display of button — choose what the button shows: "Logo + label", "Label only", or "Logo only"
- Button text — the label on the button (e.g. "Refer Friends")
- Logo — select or upload a logo icon for the button
Widget colors
- Background color — the button's background colour (e.g. #C9AC8C)
- Text color — the button's text colour (e.g. #000000)
Widget position
- Position on page — where the button appears (e.g. "Corner")
- Corner — which corner to place the button (e.g. "Bottom right")
- Inset — how far the button sits from the edge of the screen (Small, Medium, or Large)
Step 2: Install
Click Next to move to the Install step. This provides the code to add the widget to your website.

Tip
Install the widget site-wide so the floating button appears on every page.
