What are Bonus Payments?

A Bonus Payment is given to a referrer for their referral. With Referral Reactor, you can decide to pay a referrer right away for their referral or wait until you get the job. You might even do both! Your payment history will last forever. You and your referrer will always have the option to view total payments given over the years. Just imagine, your customers will NEVER be able to forget how much you have taken care of them.

Associated User Referral Bonus

Set default amounts company-wide or for individual users as explained below.

Super admins and certain admin users can always send a bonus payment for a referral. When you are sending a bonus payment you always have full control to send whatever bonus payment you think is best. However, it can be tricky to remember what bonus payment amount to pay for each referral. Referral Reactor has several ways to set default payment amounts. These default payment amounts will be suggested when you go to give a user a bonus payment. This makes it a lot easier to remember how much to pay for each referral.

Change bonus amount for when you send the bonus. Changing the amount here will not change default company-wide or individual amounts set.

Each amount type will be used when different circumstances are true.

Assessed Referral Bonus

This bonus payment amount is suggested when the referral's status has not been changed to a status that implies you got the job. This is great for when you offer a bonus payment for every legitimate referral even if you don't get the job. Once you receive a referral and have verified it is legitimate you can send the referrer an Assessed Referral Bonus. More on changing status can be found on our Referral Status page.

Accepted Referral Bonus

Here is where the referral status becomes extra important. The referral status needed for this bonus amount to get used needs to say 'Implies Success'. Once that happens, this amount will prefill as the payment amount.

Associated User Referral Bonus

If you have another user associated with the referrer and you want to pay them for their help in getting this referral, this is their prefilled payment amount. When you are ready to give the bonus payment. Their name will appear as an option to pay. If selected, this will be the amount that pulls up to send to them. Refer to the Associated Users feature page to set this up.

Change Default Amounts for Individual Referrers

When you change a referrer's default payment amounts, the amounts that you set for that user will be suggested instead of the normal default payment amounts that are set. This way, if you have a unique agreement with a specific referrer you can keep track of those amounts within Referral Reactor.

  1. Step 1

    You must select the user for whom you want to change amounts. You can find the 'All Users' tab on the left for desktop, or on the bottom for mobile.
  2. Step 2

    When the user's profile is pulled up, click the 'Edit User' button in the Admin Actions.
  3. Step 3

    At the bottom of this page you will see the same three amounts as explained above, of which, you can change. Make sure you 'Save User Edits'!

You can keep track of these payments using 4 different payment types:

Check

Cash

There is an option for each user to have a 'Preferred Payment Method'. In fact, this is found just above the payment amounts on each user profile that was explained just above. The referrer themselves can set it, or you can! This will autofill when it comes time to send the referrer their bonus.
