Referrals set up

Hi @voddic

I believe I spoke to you on the Discord, but just in case…

You can set shortcode option to refer=10 in either the [vyps-pe refer=10] or [vyps-256 refer=10] to give 10% referral reward to the user who entered their referral code for example.

Does that answer your question?

The referrals are done there and not the Wannads or Adscend as the person who originally requested it asked me to add it there.

Let me know if that answers your question.

As haven’t heard back assume you were the one on Discord that resolved.

Reopened if not!

Am so sorry for feeding you back lately. Thanks for your response in the first place. Yes, have used the Shortcode and it shows where they can get their link and update their referral link also. But no point was awarded each time a user tried to update his/her referral code. I tried using this short code [vyps-refer-bal pid=4] to show the history of referral balance. But after updating a code. No point was still added. Perhaps am still missing something or I haven’t gotten something correctly.

When I used this [vyps-pe refer=10] for set up, it says admin error that admin have not set any output. So when I used [vyps-refer=10] It displays a referral system where to get a code and to update that of referrals ,but it never give them that point.

Sorry again, WordPress no longer sends me emails on support forums so I have to manually check…

You have to have an output somewhere.

Basically, the PE stands for point exchange… Which means they have to have an output to something they want in the end.

So if they cash out to say WooCommerce credit the referral gets a bonus of that.

Example:

[vyps-pe firstid=3? firstamount=1000 outputamount=0.01 woowallet=true refer=10]

Or Dash-Slug if they used that.

If you really don’t have an output like that then you just need a second point to gate out to with.

[vyps-pe firstid=3 outputid=4 firstamount=1 outputamount=99 refer=10]

So when they run the transaction they get referral bonus that way. Make sure they can’t do a back and forth point exchange and earn the referral infinite points.

My view is that simply awarding people referral points simply for signing up means they’ll create a gazillion accounts to get the referrals while earning you nothing so there has to be some points gained first.

I did add referrals to the Webminer but I can’t really modify the Adscend code anymore and Wannads sites usually go to Woocommerce or some other output anyways.

Let me know if that works for you.

I really appreciate your effort in taking your precious time to explain to me vividly all that I need to know about this. This solves the issues. Thanks.

Glad I could help!

Let me know if you have any further issues!
