Referral Program for Current & New Clientele

I hope this message finds you well. As a proud user of Square Appointments within the beauty industry, I wanted to reach out regarding a feature request that could greatly benefit businesses like ours.

After exploring various third-party apps, I've found that many fall short in providing a robust referral system tailored to the needs of beauty professionals utilizing Square Appointments. As a salon owner committed to enhancing client experiences and fostering growth, I believe that a referral program integrated directly into Square Appointments would be immensely valuable.

A referral program would not only incentivize our existing clientele to recommend our services to friends and family but also serve as a powerful tool to attract new customers. This system could reward both the referrer and the referred individual, encouraging ongoing patronage and fostering a sense of community around our salon.

I understand the complexities involved in implementing such a feature, but I firmly believe that Square has the expertise and innovative spirit to create a seamless referral system that aligns with the needs of beauty industry professionals like us.

I appreciate your consideration of this request and would be happy to provide further insights or collaborate in any way to help bring this vision to life. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hey @Stacelyn24 , I’ve been using a referral platform called ViralRef, which is specifically designed for Square merchants. I genuinely love it. I know the owner personally, and he’s currently seeking merchants who are willing to provide feedback in exchange for three months of free services.

@linnetconde I'm going to go and see if I can check it out.  If it matches what we've been hoping to look for then I would love 3 free months (heck yea lol 🙂

I'd be interested in trying if it integrates with my current customer base from square... this has been so frustrating I'm considering moving to Shopify. 

 

Fellow salon owner here — this is exactly why we built ViralRef. Tried the 3rd party apps too and nothing worked well with Square. ViralRef connects directly via OAuth, tracks referrals automatically, and rewards clients with gift cards or coupons. Built with beauty and service businesses in mind. Happy to share more if you're interested.
