# Referrals

> Refer a friend and both of you get rewarded

When a community enables refer-a-friend, you can share a personal referral link with someone. If they sign up and join the community via your link, the community's **referral achievement** fires — distributing rewards to both the referrer (you) and the referee (your friend).

## Where referrals live

Several surfaces:

* **Referral drawer** — a drawer on the main app (mobile-optimised) where you see your referral link, share it, and track referrals.
* **Refer-a-friend widget card** — a widget section that exposes the same functionality inside embedded widgets.
* **Referral sidebar** — a simplified sidebar variant on some layouts.

## How it works

1. Open the referral surface in your community.
2. Copy your referral link or tap **Share** to send it through your OS share sheet.
3. When your friend signs up via the link, the referral achievement fires.
4. Both your accounts receive the configured rewards.

## Reward configuration

Each community configures:

* The reward for the referrer (points, XP, assets, or a combination).
* The reward for the referee (points, XP, assets, or a combination).
* Whether referrals have a daily / monthly cap.

## Visibility flags

* The referral entry in your navigation may be hidden if the community has referrals disabled.
* Coin / point visibility in the referral drawer respects the community's PointsSystem flag — if points are off, the drawer won't mention point rewards.

## Referral achievement

Referrals are backed by an achievement under the hood. Because the achievement is the plumbing, you won't see the referral achievement in your regular achievements list — it's managed by the community's referral config and only surfaces through the referral UI.
