+1, I run a food delivery service, would love to be able to institute a referral program where my customers who refer and the referred new customer both get a 1-time discount.

It is possible to create coupon codes in Square today, but there is not a good way to do this that enables my existing customers to refer lots of their friends, while also preventing people from using the referral code after their 1st purchase.

Thanks for sharing your interest @markretz. I don't have an update for you at this time I'm afraid! As soon as we have any information we'll update this thread to let everyone know. 😀

This feature will help boost sales all around. This should be a top priority.

I haven't used Square in 3 years due to the lack of both a referral and affiliate system.

Hey @Bestofwestonhai, thanks for checking in. To my knowledge, we do not have any developments on this request. I will check in with our product team circle back with any other details. Thanks for your patience!

Many of us have been asking for years for the ability to issue store credit, which would be used to reward customers for referrals. Some people have suggested using the eGift Card as an alternative, however, this is not really good practice from an accounting standpoint. Gift Cards and Store Credits should be able to be differentiated. 

@Glowskin, thanks for the detailed description of how you'd ideally like to use referrals. To make sure I understand and get your use case to the right people - are you using the Square Appointments app? 

@Kpay At the moment, no. I have tested it and would like to use it as I think it is overall a great simple appointment software however, it is missing a one key feature that I can not do without so I am waiting to see if that gets implemented. In the meantime, there are several non-deal breakers that I think could really be improved upon that will also factor into my decision on which to choose. After trying probably every appointment software out there I have narrowed it down to two. Each is missing one important deal-beak so I am keeping an eye on the updates. Since I hope to switch to square soon I am also adding my thoughts on these issues since, like I said, they do factor into my decission.

Makes sense, thank you @Glowskin and good luck with your search. I hope we can deliver for you! 🙂 

Add us to the growing list.  Referrals would be a huge help!

Thanks for adding your name @ethenwithane! Do you have any vision for how this would look or a use case for your business I can share with our product team?

Hello @Emi! I've added your post to this thread where we're tracking interest in client referrals for Square sellers. I can see how a referral campaign would help you to grow your business, I'll share this request with the Email Marketing team! 

Thanks Helen, I just started researching this idea of having my customers give referrals to their friends. I'm in the process of reading through some posts to see if someone has a solution yet, but put me down for being interested!
