Referral Exchange

Overview

The Referral Exchange is a marketplace where Refgrow projects can share affiliates with each other. When one of your affiliates joins another program through the exchange, you earn a credit. You can then spend that credit to receive an affiliate from another program.

How It Works

1. Enable Exchange for Your Project

Go to the Referral Exchange page in your dashboard and toggle the exchange on. Fill in your listing details:

• Name — Your project or product name
• Headline — A short tagline (e.g. "Earn 30% recurring commission promoting the best project management tool")
• Description — Describe what you offer and why affiliates should join
• Category — Select the category that best fits your product

You can use the "Fill with AI" button to automatically generate your listing details based on your project information.

2. Credit System

The exchange runs on a simple credit system:

3. Buying Credits

If you need more credits, you can purchase them directly:

• Credits cost $0.50 each
• Minimum purchase: 10 credits ($5.00)
• Payment is processed through Stripe
• Credits never expire

4. Receiving Affiliates

Once your listing is active, other programs can send affiliates to you. When you receive an affiliate:

1. They appear in the "Received" tab of your exchange history
2. The affiliate is automatically added to your project
3. 1 credit is deducted from your balance
4. The affiliate can start promoting your product immediately

5. Sending Affiliates

You can also send your affiliates to participate in other programs:

1. Browse available programs in the exchange directory
2. Select a program that fits your affiliate's interests
3. The affiliate receives an invitation to join that program
4. When they convert, you earn 1 credit

Exchange History

The exchange page shows two tabs:

• Received Affiliates — Affiliates that other programs sent to you, with status (Pending / Converted) and credit charged.
• Sent Affiliates — Your affiliates that joined other programs, with status and credits earned.

Tips for Success

• Write a compelling listing — A good headline and description attract more affiliates. Mention your commission rate.
• Choose the right category — This helps affiliates find programs relevant to their audience.
• Start by sending — Earn credits first by sending affiliates to other programs, then use those credits to receive affiliates.
• Keep credits topped up — If your balance hits 0, you can't receive new affiliates until you earn or buy more credits.
