About this Product

Referral Program for WooCommerce is a build-to-order plugin that turns your existing customers into a measurable acquisition channel. Every customer gets a unique referral link, a short code, and a scannable QR code generated from their WordPress user account, so they can share on WhatsApp, email, or in person — and every resulting signup or purchase is attributed back to them automatically.

The plugin hooks into the WooCommerce order lifecycle using native WordPress actions (woocommerce_order_status_completed, woocommerce_checkout_order_processed) to attribute conversions, and stores referral relationships in custom database tables keyed to user and order IDs — fully HPOS-compatible so it works whether your store uses the legacy posts table or the new high-performance custom order tables.

Rewards are dual-sided and configurable from wp-admin: reward the referrer, the referred friend, or both. Incentives can be auto-generated WooCommerce coupons (fixed, percentage, or free-shipping) or loyalty points if you run a points system. A first-party attribution cookie plus server-side validation ensures credit survives the buyer's journey.

Fraud protection is built in: self-referral blocking (matching email, IP, and payment fingerprint), minimum-order thresholds, reward-on-completed-order-only logic, velocity limits, and an admin review queue for flagged claims. Customers get a front-end referral dashboard (a WooCommerce My Account endpoint) showing their link, pending and approved rewards, and referral history.

Because this is build-to-order, ECOSIRE configures the reward rules, styling, and email triggers to match your store, then installs and tests it on your WordPress environment. It is not an instant marketplace download — it is a tailored plugin we deliver, deploy, and stand behind.

Frequently Asked Questions about Referral Program for WooCommerce

How long does delivery take, since this isn't an instant download?

This is a build-to-order plugin. After we confirm your reward rules, theme, and fraud requirements, typical delivery is about 1 to 2 weeks. We build the plugin, install it on your staging site for review, then deploy to production once you sign off. You are not buying a marketplace zip — you are getting a configured, tested plugin running on your own WordPress site.

What support and updates are included after launch?

The one-time price includes installation, configuration, and a post-launch support window for bug fixes and compatibility issues. We test against your current WooCommerce and WordPress versions, and we keep the plugin compatible with HPOS and standard WooCommerce updates during the support period. Extended maintenance and feature additions are available as an optional ongoing plan.

Will it work with my theme, gateway, and the new HPOS order tables?

Yes. The plugin uses native WooCommerce hooks and is built HPOS-compatible, so it works whether your store uses the legacy posts table or the high-performance custom order tables. The customer dashboard is a WooCommerce My Account endpoint that inherits your theme styling. It is gateway-agnostic because attribution fires on order status events, not on a specific payment provider.

How does the fraud protection actually stop abuse?

Rewards only fire on qualifying events (for example, a paid or completed order, refund-aware). We block self-referrals by matching email, IP, and a payment fingerprint, enforce velocity and per-customer caps, and route anything suspicious to an admin review queue where you approve or reject before any coupon or points are issued.

Can customers share by QR code and see their own rewards?

Yes. Each customer gets a unique link, a short code, and a downloadable QR code for in-person or printed sharing. Their front-end referral dashboard shows the link, QR, referral history, and pending versus approved rewards, all inside the WooCommerce My Account area.

Is the referral data accessible outside wp-admin?

Yes. We expose referral stats through authenticated WooCommerce REST API endpoints, so you can pull totals, conversions, and reward status into an external BI dashboard or reporting tool without touching the database directly.
