Giving your loyal customers incentives to spread the word about your products to their friends and colleagues just got a little easier. On Tap's Referral Tracking extension transparently records each time the 'Send to a friend' email feature is used by your customers.
Then when one of email recipients comes to the store to place an order, our extension detects this and sends a 'thank you' email to the original sender.
The email content is derived from an existing transactional email template, making configuration quick and easy. This also allows you to have different thank you emails for different stores.
The extension also enables you to designate a coupon code to send in the thank you email. So this could, for example, reward the sender with a 5% discount off their next order.
To see how easy it is to use, check out our

Installation
We offer an optional installation service for this extension which will get you up and running.
Background
Some of our Magento products, including this one, are encoded with a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system called ioncube. This is used to protect our products from piracy and copyright infringements. This means that some or all of the code in our extensions is protected from modification.
Licensing per domain
Our extensions are licensed per domain, which means that they will only run on a specific web site.
For extensions that operate purely at the Magento back-end, this typically means you only need to license one domain regardless of stores in your Magento instance. For extensions that provide front-end changes, this typically means that you need a license for each domain name that will use the extension. We provide discounts for customers needing multiple domain licenses.
The license you receive also includes a free development server license so that you can test the extension prior to deploying it on your production server.
Delivery of your extension
Once you place an order we will generate a licensed version of the extension and deliver this to you by email. We do this as quickly as possible, but the process might take up to 2 business days during busy times. We are working to automate this process to provide immediate delivery in the near future.
What if I want to change the code?
We don't protect CSS, XML or .phtml files, so you still have the ability to customise the look and feel, and often some logic. If you have a specific need to customise one of our products beyond this, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
Why not just provide the full source code?
We invest time and effort into building and supported our Magento products. In order to protect this investment we have decided to encode our work.
How do I install ioncube?
Installing ioncube is generally very simple, and may already have been installed by your web host. If it is not, we provide the necessary 'loader files' that can be installed. You can grab the loader files here. We can assist you with the process. All hosting packages from On Tap come with ioncube pre-installed.
Are all of your products encoded?
No. Only our commercial products.
