GrowSurf can be fully implemented in a few days or less. Many GrowSurf customers get up and running within a day. This includes campaign setup, referral tracking installation, setting up a referral portal, and automating reward fulfillment.

Can I choose what counts as a referral?

Yes. With GrowSurf, you get to choose when to trigger a referral. For example, referrals can be defined as new leads or only when new leads make qualified actions.

Do my users need to sign up separately for my referral program?

GrowSurf will automatically give your signed-in users a unique share link without them needing to sign up for your referral program separately. However, there is flexibility on whether you want this process to be automatic or manual.

GrowSurf is designed for B2C, FinTech, and SaaS companies that want to save time and development resources when building a referral program. By using our out-of-the-box referral software, product and engineering teams can easily create and manage a customer referral program versus spending weeks or months building one in-house.
