What Is ReferTree? How It Works and Everything You Can Do With Your Referral Links
ReferTree has been around for a few months now and, somehow, we had never written the most obvious article of all: what exactly is ReferTree? Better late than never. The short version is almost suspiciously simple: ReferTree is one place to organize, share and discover referral links and codes. The long version is not much more complicated — but since we are here, let’s do it properly.

ReferTree in one sentence
ReferTree gives you one personal profile for all your referral links and codes, helps you see what people click, lets eligible referrals be discovered by the community, and also helps people find a referral when they need one.
Why does ReferTree exist?
Referral links tend to live in terrible places: old WhatsApp messages, Notes, screenshots, random bookmarks, Linktree pages, spreadsheets, email drafts and that one message you are absolutely sure you sent to someone six months ago. ReferTree gives referrals a proper home. Instead of managing every link separately, you keep them in one profile and share one URL.
ReferTree works in two directions
Most referral tools only solve one side of the problem. ReferTree is designed for both the person sharing a referral and the person looking for one.
For people who share referrals
Create your own profile, add your referral links and codes, organize them by company, share one clean URL and understand which referrals get attention.
Create my ReferTree freeFor people who need a referral
Search for a company, see referrals shared by the community and check what the referral may offer before opening the link or using the code.
Find a referralHow ReferTree works
There is no complicated setup, marketplace onboarding or mysterious growth hack. The basic flow is intentionally simple.
Create your profile
Choose a username and get your own ReferTree URL. This becomes the permanent home for the referrals you want to share.
Add or import your referrals
Add referral links and codes manually, or import existing referrals from supported public profiles such as Linktree or Beacons, or from Excel and CSV.
Share one link
Use your ReferTree URL in your social bio, WhatsApp, X, Reddit, email, a QR code or anywhere people ask for your referrals.
Let people discover more
Eligible referrals can also be made discoverable inside the ReferTree community, while you keep control over what appears in Explore.
What can you actually do with ReferTree?
The product is simple, but there is quite a lot packed into that one profile.
One personal URL
Keep all your referral links and codes under one profile instead of sending a different link every time.
Links and codes together
Some programs use referral URLs, some use codes and some use both. ReferTree is built for all of them.
Click analytics
See which referral links people actually open so you can understand what gets interest.
Explore Referrals
When a referral is eligible for public discovery, you can choose to make it available to people searching the ReferTree community.
Find referrals by company
If you are on the other side of the referral, search by company and discover available community referrals.
Import existing referrals
Bring referrals over from supported public profiles such as Linktree or Beacons, or upload them from Excel and CSV instead of rebuilding everything by hand.
Clear reward information
Store the important referral details alongside the link or code so visitors can understand what the offer is about.
One place to keep things current
When a referral changes, update it in your profile instead of hunting down every old post or message where you previously shared it.
Already have your referrals somewhere else?
That is exactly why we built the importer. If you already use a supported public profile such as Linktree or Beacons, or keep referrals in a spreadsheet, ReferTree can help bring them into one profile with a review step and duplicate handling before saving.

ReferTree is not only a personal link page. Explore Referrals lets members search for a company and discover eligible referral links or codes shared by other users. Referral owners keep control over whether their referrals can appear there.
Learn about Explore ReferralsWhat about analytics?
Each profile includes click analytics so you can see which referral links attract attention. The point is not to turn sharing a referral into a full-time marketing dashboard. It is simply useful to know whether people are actually opening the links you keep sharing.
