Step 3: Add Affiliate Dashboard

Add the Refgrow affiliate dashboard to your website:

Option 1: With User Authentication

If your website has user authentication, use this code and dynamically set the user's email:

<script src="https://refgrow.com/js/page.js"></script>

Option 2: Without User Authentication

If you don't have user authentication or want to use the referral page's built-in authentication, use this code:

<div id="refgrow" data-program-id="YOUR_PROGRAM_ID"></div>
<script src="https://refgrow.com/js/page.js"></script>
