How do I generate unique referral codes?

OpenClaw generates a UUID or short code per user at signup and stores it in your CRM or Airtable. Codes are included in referral links automatically.

Can I support tiered rewards (e.g., 3 referrals = bigger bonus)?

Yes. The validation step checks the referrer's total referral count and applies the appropriate reward tier. Tiers are configurable in the workflow logic.

What if a referred user refunds their purchase?

Add a step that listens for Stripe refund webhooks and reverses or flags the associated referral reward. This prevents reward fraud on refunded purchases.

Can referrers track their own progress?

You can build a simple referral dashboard using OpenClaw's data output and a Notion page or Google Sheet with view-only access per referrer.

Does this work for B2B referral programs?

Yes. B2B referrals typically have higher reward values and longer qualification windows. The workflow supports delayed reward triggers — reward fires 30 days after the referred account activates.

What if I want different reward tiers for different products?

Each product can have its own referral reward configuration. OpenClaw checks which product triggered the referral and applies the matching reward tier automatically.

Without automation

The Manual Bottleneck

Referral programs leak revenue when they're manual. Someone refers a friend, nothing happens automatically, the referrer forgets, and the reward never arrives on time. Most referred users never even know they were referred. Half your program is invisible.

With OpenClaw

What changes when you automate this

Every referral gets tracked, validated, and rewarded the moment it qualifies. Your best customers become your best salespeople because the experience actually works — instant confirmation, automatic rewards, no waiting.

Tell OpenClaw: 'When a new Stripe customer signs up with a referral code, validate the referral, issue the reward as a discount code, and send the referrer a WhatsApp message confirming the credit.'

Here's exactly what happens

Capture the referral source

Webhook / Stripe

When a new signup arrives with a referral code or UTM parameter, OpenClaw logs the referrer-to-referred relationship immediately. Works from form webhooks, Stripe checkout, or your app's API.

Validate eligibility

OpenAI / Stripe

OpenClaw checks that the referred user completed the qualifying action — purchased, activated, held the purchase for the required window — and that the referrer is still active. Edge cases get flagged for review.

Trigger the reward

Stripe

Issue the reward automatically: Stripe discount code, account credit, gift card API, or a payout flag for your finance team. Reward logic is configurable per tier.

Notify the referrer instantly

WhatsApp / Mailchimp

A WhatsApp or email message goes to the referrer within seconds: 'Your friend just signed up — your $20 credit is on the way.' Real-time updates keep referrers engaged in the program.

Log to your tracking sheet

Google Sheets / Airtable

The full referral event writes to Google Sheets or Airtable: referrer, referred user, date, reward type, and status. Clean audit trail without building a custom database.
