# Referral System
In this Page it shows how to setup your referral system, referral links etc.
1. Go to the Customer Dashboard and click on *Referrals*
2. Click on the *Generate Referral link*
2.1 This is what the link looks like after following step 2.
2.2 You are free to share your personalized refarral link
## Initial Purchasing
1. Initial purchases can be made by using the generated referral link sent by another user. Once the received link is clicked, it will automatically be directed to the user dashboard. The initial purchase that the user is going to make, would add a certain amount of credits depending on the product rates.
2. Total Credits would be reflected as follows under the *Reward store* section in the Customer Dashboard.\
\
In the Reward Store section, you see how many points you've earned. Additionally, under each provider, the redemption rates are displayed. Consequently, you can claim data based on the available points. Please note that only 1GB can be claimed at once.

> An example :
>
> Moover - Referral link generator
>
> Edith - The individual making the initial purchase using the shared referral link
>
> Product rate for Packetstream - 10 credits per GB
>
> If "Moover" generates the link and shares it with "Edith", and then "Edith" purchases 1GB of Packetstream using the referral link, this purchase adds 10 credits under "Moover". According to the number of credits per GB under redemption rates would decide how many credits need to be earned so that "Moover" can use these credits to buy any residential product if they meet the required credit threshold for purchasing residential products. This policy is applicable only for the initial purchase.
>
> In this scenario, if "Edith" generates another referral link for themselves and shares it with a person named "Blade," then the initial purchase made by "Blade" will bring credits for "Edith"
3. Click on the *Claim* button to claim the data.
