Referrals or affiliates? Run both.

Referrals

Your customers invite friends, usually for credit or a discount. The friend often gets an offer too.

Affiliates

Outside promoters, such as creators, review sites and other stores, send you buyers and earn cash commission.

Both run on the same engine, ledger and partner portal. A single program can be a referral program, an affiliate program or both.

Start from what you already run

SaaS on Stripe

Pay partners on every paid invoice, not only the first.

  • Turn on Record paid invoices as orders, and every paid invoice, renewals included, earns commission for the partner who sent the customer. Pay for a set number of months or for the customer's lifetime.
  • Connect Stripe in Settings without writing code. Paste your keys, then add the webhook address Grizzlee gives you in Stripe.
  • Paste one script tag on your site to capture referral links.

Online stores on Shopify

Give friends a discount and pay the customer who sent them.

  • Create a partner's own discount code in your Shopify or Stripe account from Grizzlee. Orders that use it credit that partner.
  • Refunds in Shopify or Stripe reverse the matching share of the reward.
  • The friend gets an offer and the referrer earns cash, store credit or a discount on their next order.

Apps and marketplaces

Reward installs, sign-ups and the work people do in your app.

  • The SDK runs in React Native. Install referrals work without Branch or AppsFlyer. Android passes the referral through the Play Store, and on iOS the customer brings a short code from your landing page.
  • Every partner gets a QR code for signs, packaging and posters, so stores and other physical partners can refer too.
  • Reward actions that are not purchases. Your server reports them, and a rule such as $50 after 10 completed tasks pays the person who invited them.
  • Embed the partner dashboard in your app's webview. Your server opens a short session, so partners never sign in to Grizzlee.
  • Two-sided programs, where the new user gets an offer and the inviter earns.

Haulow runs its store QR referrals and worker referrals on Grizzlee.

Built for money you owe people

Partners get paid from these numbers, so the engine keeps them exact and keeps the history.

Integer cents.
Rewards are calculated in whole cents and rates in basis points, with no floating-point math.
Exact refunds.
A refund reverses only the refunded share of each reward, as a new ledger entry. The original stays on record.
Rules don't rewrite the past.
Change a program and new orders use the new rules. Rewards already earned keep the rules they were earned under.
Fraud and self-referral checks.
Grizzlee matches email, phone, card and device to catch partners buying through their own link. Repeat accounts, rapid repeats and disposable emails can be flagged, held for review or blocked.
Orders confirmed by your server.
Your server, Stripe or Shopify reports each order after payment. A browser or app can capture a referral but can never record an order.
A portal and webhooks.
Partners see their links, QR codes, discount codes and earnings in their own portal. Your systems get signed webhooks for orders, rewards and payouts.

Also in Grizzlee: loyalty cards

Stamp and points cards for repeat customers, with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes. How loyalty cards work
