​
The widget is quite handy for your customers to discover your Referral Reward program easily.
The widget serves a number of purposes in your store

Showcases your rewards
Customers can share to social media

This tab lets you choose the overall theme colour, font, placement, spacing etc of the widget.
You can set the overall theme color and font style (black or white) to your referral widget. This will be used across all the screens of the Referral Widget.
Also choose the placement of the widget (left or right) and choose in which devices the widget should appear.
​
In the Panel tab, you can customize/edit the contents of your Referral widget. The appearance and content of the widget varies depending on the customer's status.

If the customer is already a registered user, he can login and view his "Unique referral link" and the rewards he has earned
​
There are two popups offered in the Reward widget when a friend lands in your store through a referral link:
The first popup asks the friend to enter his email address to claim the referral reward
​
The second popup reveals the reward after the friend enters his email address
​
Under the launcher tab, you can choose your launcher icon and even edit your Launcher icon appearance. Sometimes you might prefer a text-only icon or sometimes just an icon, all those options are available for you to choose from.
Showing Launcher on Specific pages
You can display the launcher widget in specific pages of your store. Example: Shop pages, My account only.
To control the display, you can "Add page rule conditions".
Here is an example:
This will ensure that the launcher shows only in the shop pages (That is, urls containing the word "shop")

That’s it!
