Referral Reactor is here to help you receive referrals while maintaining organization and effective communication with the referrer. Have you ever wanted to pay someone for a referral? Maybe you have even wanted to pay their supervisor for encouraging them to refer to you. Referral Reactor does it all! With Referral Reactor, referrers and their supervisors can send you a referral and you can give them a bonus as the status of the referral changes. The referrer will not only get paid through the app, but they can see the status (whether the referral will use you or not) as you update it along the way.
If you are a business interested in onboarding referrers, you can find more information of what you could accomplish with Referral Reactor on our Reactor page.
If you are a referrer who wants to understand what you can do with Referral Reactor, refer to our Referrers page.
A Reactor is the business that is receiving referrals! For some companies, they have different specialties within their main business. Different Reactors can give them a way to keep track of their referrals on, let's say, the structure side, and their referrals from their main water restoration business.
You must go to paypal.com to sign up for your business account. You will need to link your bank account, move money from your bank account into your PayPal account, request access to the Payouts API, and copy your paypal Client ID and Secret into Referral Reactor. This can be a long process, taking anywhere from 3-7 business days.
This is due to authorizing important components on PayPal's side. We have a whole page dedicated to setting up PayPal. Please refer to the PayPal Setup page for a detailed answer to this question.
The Payouts API is an API PayPal has developed. It is how Referral Reactor can tell PayPal that you want to send $100 to John, so PayPal can fulfill the request.
PayPal will have you fill out a questionnaire to request access to their Payouts API. You will generally hear a response back from them in 3-4 business days. To request this access you can go to https://www.paypal.com/merchantapps/appcenter/makepayments/payouts or refer to our PayPal Setup page.
To connect your PayPal account to your Referral Reactor account, you will need two pieces of information from your business developer dashboard. Don't worry, you don't need a developer to do this. It's actually quite simple. Visit our PayPal Setup page if you need more help
A bonus payment is what you pay your referrer for the referral they sent to you. This payment can be made throught PayPal, Venmo, Check, or Cash. Regarding the Check or Cash option, Referral Reactor is there to help you keep a record of it after you give them the Check or Cash.
You can set your usual amounts to send based on the status of the referral. For instance, because you got an assesment with a referral, you pay the referrer $25. If you take the job, you pay the referrer $75. These amounts are configurable to fit your needs.
Instructions on how to use bonus payments and set amounts can be found on the Bonus Payments feature page.
Controls for changing the bonus amount are located in two different places.
If you want to pay people for getting a referral in general, or even for being able to go to the referral and talk with them, then you will want to change this amount.
You got the job! That referral has used your company to help them! To say thank you to the referrer, update this amount.
This bonus will go to the supervisors over the the team member who referred you your new customer.
Set your bonus amounts however you want! It's up to you! For more help, refer to our Bonus Payments page.
