Capability
Referrals
The referrer earns on their friend's spending — per receipt, per number of receipts, or over a defined period. Rewards land wherever you choose: the bonus balance, an expiring balance, or a customer account.
Both sides can be paid: the new customer for accepting, the existing customer for referring.

What you can do with it
Four things this capability is actually used for, in the programmes running today.
Earn on a friend's spending
The referrer keeps earning while the person they invited keeps shopping.
Both sides can be paid
Reward the new customer for joining and the existing one for inviting.
A growing rate
The tenth successful invitation can be worth more than the first.
No third party
It runs inside the bot, so there is no extra service and no extra fee.
Where it fits
One profile behind every part
Every capability reads and writes the same customer profile, so a shopper who joins through a wallet card, moves up a tier and redeems a voucher is one record, not three.
That is also why a merchant can start on 7Stamp and move to 7Bonuses without re-enrolling anybody: the profile and the balance stay where they are.
Common questions
What is 7Bonuses?
7Bonuses is a points and cashback loyalty engine. It holds the rules, the customer profile and the balance, and delivers the card to the shopper as an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass or inside a chat bot. Merchants run it on hardware they already have.
Does the shopper need to install an app?
No. The shopper scans a QR code, signs in with Apple ID or Google ID, and the card lands in their wallet. In markets where messengers dominate, the same card lives inside a chat bot instead.
Do we have to integrate with our POS?
Only if you want to. Four of the six identification methods need no POS integration at all: a wallet card with a staff scanner, a bank payment terminal, a QR code printed on the receipt, and a fiscal receipt scanned by the shopper.
How long does a launch take?
The baseline setup runs the same day: create the programme, place a QR code at the counter and give staff the scanner app. Programmes with tiers, exclusions and rule priorities are configured together with our team.
Can staff spend a customer's balance without them?
No. Nothing is deducted without the shopper's own authorisation. This is the difference from the loyalty tab built into most cash registers, where a cashier can quietly move points to their own card.
