Products › Referrals

Turn happy customers into your next bookings.

Give every happy customer their own referral link and reward both sides when a friend actually turns up. Add local partners too, with their own links and commission.

Grow by word of mouth

Reward your customers, your partners, or both, and see what it brings in.

Customer referrals

Ask happy customers to bring a friend, and reward both of them when the friend visits.

  • A personal referral link for every customer, no loyalty sign-up needed
  • Offered after a good visit, never after a bad one
  • Rewards issued only when the friend’s visit is complete
  • Rewards paid as vouchers they spend with you
  • Checks that stop people referring themselves

Included with referrals

Set your rules once and every referral is tracked for you.

A minimum spend you set

Choose how much the friend has to spend before anyone is rewarded. Every reward is earned by a real visit, so it pays for itself.

On the customer record

Each referral is saved on both customers’ records and tagged with who sent them, so you can see who your best advocates are and thank them.

Linked to review requests

The same follow-up that asks how a visit went offers happy customers their referral link straight after, while they’re still smiling.

Counted in your results

Partner referrals are recorded as conversions in your marketing results, next to every other channel. You can see what word of mouth is really worth.

Paid your way

Approve partner commission, then mark it paid with a bank reference or pay it through Stripe. Partners see the payment in their portal.

A clear money trail

Every commission moves from earned to approved to paid, with a record of each step. Nothing is paid until you approve it.

Every feature, in detail

Everything below comes with every plan, at one price per site, with no add-ons or per-user fees.

What referrals replace

And what you stop paying for.

ReferralCandy or Mention Me

A separate referral tool with its own bill. Referrals here come with every plan and use the customer records you already have.

Paper cards and shared codes

Codes that get posted online and claimed by people who were coming anyway. Rewards here only land when a real friend completes a visit.

Partner spreadsheets

Working out which hotel concierge or local business sent whom, and paying them by hand. Links, QR codes and commission are tracked for you.

Set up by real people, supported by AI. An mDOS Expert Partner sets up your rewards, links and partner terms with you, and is a call away when you want to change them.

Switch at your own pace

Start with customer referrals and add partners later. Keep your current referral tool while its contract runs out, we move your customer history across, and we plan the switch with you.

How switching works

Three things no one else brings together

Referral links are easy. Getting customers to share them takes more. mDOS adds AI agents and a marketing team to make it happen.

mDOS Visitor Intent: a company visiting the website scored Hot 94, with its visits and pages viewed, under the intent filters

World-leading software

Every customer gets their own referral link, with rewards for both sides when a friend actually turns up, plus local partners with their own links.

TRY IT YOURSELF

Try it on a demo site.

Working websites built on mDOS for invented businesses. Open one and try it the way your customers would.

Demo sites are invented businesses. Payments are test-only: use the UK test card 4000 0082 6000 0000 with any future date and any CVC. Book or buy with your own email address and you’ll receive a real confirmation email.

WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS

Keep the tools that work for you. Replace the ones that don't.

Sell online already? Keep your shop and email tools, and bring the customer data, campaigns and reporting into one place.

Keep it. We connect to the systems you already rely on, so data flows into one place.
Or replace it. Switch over when you're ready, one system at a time. It's all included in mDOS.

Support from a real marketing team

mDOS is built and operated by MDOS AI LTD. When you message or phone us, real Marketing Experts answer, on every plan, led by our Founding Partner Agency, Mr Digital. Here are five ways we help you get results.

Chat with our marketing experts

Message us from any screen in mDOS. The people who answer are marketers from our partner agencies, not a call centre.

  • Live chat on every plan, from the Chat button on every page, and you can phone us when you need to
  • Answered by marketing experts from our partner agencies, the same people who run marketing for clients
  • Ask about the software or your marketing: setup, campaigns and results
  • AI support for quick answers whenever you need one

Included in every plan

Questions about referrals

You choose the reward for each side, and it’s issued as a voucher they can spend with you. Nothing is issued until the friend’s visit is complete.
No. Any customer can refer a friend, including one-off visitors.
The friend has to complete a visit and meet your minimum spend first. We also check that people aren’t referring themselves under another email address or phone number.
Everyone is asked how their visit went. Customers who had a good time are offered a referral link, and anyone unhappy is passed to your team to put it right instead.
Each partner gets their own portal with their balance, earnings by month, how many customers they referred, and their links and QR codes.

Referrals, included in every plan

Customer referrals and partner commission come with everything else in mDOS, at one price per site. No per-user fees.
