Omnichannel · Member-get-Member
Members recruit members — growth that doesn't cost ad spend.
Your best customers already vouch for you. Flash turns that into a measurable channel: invites with built-in abuse limits, points credited only when a referral actually signs up, and a visual map of who brought whom.
The problem
Acquisition keeps getting more expensive. Advocacy is sitting unused.
Paid acquisition only climbs
Every new customer costs more than the last, while the members who already love you go untapped as a channel.
Vanity counters mislead
"Invites sent" looks like growth, but a sent invite is not a customer. Reward on sends and you pay for noise.
No view of who drives whom
Without a real map of who actually signed others up, you can't see — or double down on — the members truly recruiting others.
How it works
Invite, convert, credit — then it appears on your map of who referred whom.
Flash credits a referral only when the invited person becomes a real sign-up. That same rule drives the map of who referred whom — so what you reward and what you see always agree.
Points for both sides
Referrer and referee both earn through the same points system as purchases — no separate, leaky bonus path.
Built-in abuse limits
Daily and lifetime invite limits, plus invites that never convert automatically expire.
Only real sign-ups count
The map is built from real sign-ups alone — pending and expired invites never inflate your network.
The relationship graph
See your advocacy as a network — not a leaderboard.
Flash builds a fresh map of your referral network every day and lays it out automatically. It loads instantly, so the map never slows down the page no matter how large your network grows.
- Your strongest advocates stand out at a glance.
- Hover to highlight a member's connections; click to jump to their profile.
- Respects reduced-motion settings, and stays readable even for very large networks.
Green hubs = your top advocates · navy nodes = members they recruited
Why it's different
A referral counter is not a referral program.
Lightweight referral widgets reward the click and call it growth. Flash rewards the real sign-up and shows you the network — so your referral budget buys customers, not invites.
Typical approach
Vanity referral counters
Credit on "invite sent" or "link clicked" — easy to game, hard to trust.
Flash, by design
Credit only on a real sign-up, through the same points system as every other reward.
Typical approach
Standalone referral widgets
Bolt onto one storefront, blind to who your real advocates are.
Flash, by design
A daily map of real sign-ups across your whole member base.
Typical approach
Unbounded invite spam
No guardrails, so a few accounts flood and farm rewards.
Flash, by design
Daily and lifetime limits, plus invites that auto-expire, built in.
Where it fits the loop
Referrals feed the same verified member network everything else runs on.
A real sign-up isn't a one-off bonus — it's a new member you own and a new connection your retention loop can act on. Flash keeps the mechanics honest so the data stays clean.
Verified relationships
Connections come only from real sign-ups, so segments and insights rest on real relationships.
One member record
A referred member lands in the same unified record as store, Shopify, and receipt members — not a side list.
Automation-ready
Sign-ups flow into the same automated journeys as every other reward, ready to trigger the next best action.
What changes for the business
A growth channel powered by the customers you already have — measured by conversions, not clicks.

points credited when a referral truly joins, not when an invite is sent
