this might be a unicorn request, but does anybody know of a relatively simple way to bolt on a basic referral system to an app? long term i’d love to built it out for real for www.resolution.biz so people who basically drive new signups through things they have created and shared can get a piece of the revenue from those signups converting to paid, but i don’t really want to dedicate a ton of development time to it yet. Was hoping there was some magic out there that sat somewhere between a pretty normal Phoenix/React app and Stripe.

What CRM do you use? I’ve built many with and without additional software so let me know your existing tech stack and I give you a quick solution

So right now, nothing. We really just launched, so we’ve got user data in the application admin itself, and obviously we have payment data in Stripe. Everything is self-service so I don’t have typical CRM needs, although in theory if I grow enough I’ll set something up for sure.

So first promoter and getambassador.com both have APIs you can bolt into your UI. Both are paid products but firstpromoter is cheap and easiest to deploy. If you go real low lift you can do free hubspot with landing page & form to have people do more of a formal deal registration. The first is for more of a true affiliate model with influencers and the second is more agency/consultant model, typically.

super helpful, i’ll check them both out, thanks!

We have our rails app and we have built our own referral tracking. It's not very hard to build at least the basic version. It'll grow as we grow.
