The 2 referral program types: tenant-level (Bookinda affiliate) and customer-level (in-salon)

Referral program

Bookinda runs 2 distinct referral systems.

The 2 programs

1. Tenant-level (Affiliate, Bookinda program)

You (salon owner) refer another salon to Bookinda. When they register and subscribe, you get a reward from Bookinda (subscription credit, SMS credits, or free month).

Management page: /manager/account/referrals
Global platform rule (SuperAdmin-configured)

2. Customer-level (Loyalty Referral, in-salon)

Your loyal customer refers a new customer to your salon. Both get loyalty points or a discount.

When to use it

Scenario 1, salon industry conference Run a Bookinda professional group. Share your referral code with members. 5 new salons register, you get 5,000 HUF each = 25,000 HUF subscription credit.

Scenario 2, salon-industry blogger Write about salon management. Embed referral code in Bookinda articles. Long-term income source.

Scenario 3, business partner referral Refer your supplier's other salon. Both profit.

Tips

Share-link comes with UTM parameters, so source is measurable (blog post vs Facebook post).
QUALIFIED doesn't skip COMPLETED: reward only after full COMPLETED.
Free month is sometimes more attractive than credit, especially for price-sensitive new salons.
Help the referred salon onboard, qualification may depend on a paid first month.
Customer-level referral is completely separate, don't conflate.
