List owners are the ambassadors
Join offers from businesses you already vouch for. Standing codes auto-appear on vendor cards on your public Lyst — no pasting codes into bios.
Features/Referral programs
Referrals & credits
Referral programs built for list owners — not customer signup widgets
You already recommend vendors on your Lyst. Join their programs, get a standing code on your public page, and earn credits when friends book.
Direct answer
ReferLyst referral programs reward list owners who send real customers to local businesses. Unlike customer-ambassador tools (share a link, get paid), ReferLyst puts reusable standing codes on your public vendor list — e.g. SARAH-STAGING — so friends mention the code when they call or book. Businesses set the friend perk and redeem codes in their dashboard; you stack credits per business in a wallet and redeem for perks or offline payouts. Intros are still warm handoffs through you; codes are trackable perks for people who book.
02
Codes vs intros — both, clearly
Intro = ask the list owner for a warm handoff. Code = mention a perk when you book. Public vendor cards explain both so visitors know what to tap.
03
Share kit + wallet + business dashboard
Copy, SMS, and WhatsApp snippets for your code. Pro QR opens your list. Businesses edit tiers, see redemptions, and track top referrers.
How it works
List-owner referrals — not customer signup links
You are the ambassador. Your standing code lives on your public Lyst. Intros are warm handoffs through you; referral codes are trackable perks for friends who book.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this like ReferralHero or customer referral links?
- Different model. ReferLyst is built for list owners who already curate vendors — standing codes live on your public Lyst, not signup links your customers share. Businesses reward the curator, not a friend-of-a-friend chain.
- Who creates the referral code?
- Standing codes tie to your list (e.g. SARAH-STAGING). Businesses can set their suffix; you can rename the full code. One-time codes are optional for specific friends.
- What do friends get?
- Each business sets a friend perk — e.g. 10% off first visit. It shows on your vendor card next to the code.
- How do businesses launch a program?
- Claim a business profile, open Referrals → My business, enable your offer, set tiers, and appear in Discover when active.
- Can I use both intros and referral codes?
- Yes. Intros are warm handoffs through you. Codes are trackable perks when someone books. Both buttons stay on vendor cards.
