Who Can You Reward?
You can reward:
The Person Referring (the person doing the referring, who shares their referral link)
The Person Invited (the person being referred, who signs up on the referral link they were sent)
Both! Note that to reward both users, you will need to add multiple rewards, one for the Person Referring and another for the Person Invited.
What Events Can Trigger A Tremendous Reward?
You can trigger a reward on:
A converted referral (when the Person Invited "qualifies"). Since Tremendous rewards are monetary, they can only be issued once the Person Invited has qualified. This protective measure ensures that you only pay rewards for legitimate, successful referrals. For non-monetary reward types (such as coupon and custom rewards), you can trigger rewards when a Person Referring joins your campaign (either by registering for a referral link or being added to your campaign) and when a Person Invited joins your campaign (by filling in their details on the referral link shared with them).
In addition, you have the option to trigger rewards:
Once-off based on the rules you set
On a recurring basis
At various milestones
How To Add A Fixed Amount Reward and Issue it Via Tremendous
Step 1: Prefund Your Tremendous Account Balance
→ To use Tremendous and Referral Factory, you must prefund a balance in Tremendous. Rewards issued via Referral Factory will then be deducted from that balance in Tremendous. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the other payment options at this time.
❗️ Tremendous processes all payments for the rewards you issue. These payments are not handled by Referral Factory.
Step 2: Create a Tremendous Campaign
→ Configure your rewards campaign in Tremendous. A campaign in Tremendous has 2 purposes: a.) to define the catalog of reward options available to your recipients and b.) to set the visual presentation (webpage and email notification) of the reward
Step 3: Add Reward From the Rewards Dashboard in Referral Factory
→ In the left-hand navigation bar of your Referral Factory dashboard, click the Rewards tab and select Dashboard from the dropdown menu.
→ Select the Fixed Amount tab.
→ Click Add Reward.
Step 4: Name Your Reward and Link A Campaign
→ Name the reward. This is used for internal management purposes and won’t be shown to your users.
→ Select the relevant campaign.
→ Click Create.
❗️ Rewards are linked to campaigns. If you have multiple campaigns and want to issue rewards in each of them, you will need to create multiple rewards.
Step 5: Choose Who Should Be Rewarded and Select Whether It Should Be Once Off or Recurring
→ Choose who should be rewarded: the Person Referring or the Person Invited. If you want to reward both users in the same campaign, you should create multiple rewards.

Step 6: Select How and When to Issue the Reward

❗️ Since Fixed Amount rewards have a monetary value, they cannot be triggered when the Person Referring joins your campaign or when a Person Invited signs up via a referral link. This protective measure ensures that you only pay rewards for qualified/converted referrals.
Step 7: Set the Currency, Value and Target
→ Select the currency and set the value of your reward.
→ If applicable, set the target number of referrals or converted referrals that should trigger the reward.

Step 9: Activate Your Reward
→ If you would like to automatically issue rewards, toggle on auto-issue. This means you will not have to authorize these rewards to be issued, they will be issued automatically. This method is NOT recommended.
→ Set whether you would like to limit the number of rewards that can be issued to any single user. The limit is the number of rewards to be issued, not the value of the rewards.
→ Click Activate.
