How long does it take to implement GrowSurf?

GrowSurf can be fully implemented in a few days or less. Many GrowSurf customers get up and running within a day. This includes campaign setup, referral tracking installation, setting up a referral portal, and automating reward fulfillment.

Can I choose what counts as a referral?

Yes. With GrowSurf, you get to choose when to trigger a referral. For example, referrals can be defined as new leads or only when new leads make qualified actions.

Do my users need to sign up separately for my referral program?

GrowSurf will automatically give your signed-in users a unique share link without them needing to sign up for your referral program separately. However, there is flexibility on whether you want this process to be automatic or manual.

GrowSurf is designed for B2C, FinTech, and SaaS companies that want to save time and development resources when building a referral program. By using our out-of-the-box referral software, product and engineering teams can easily create and manage a customer referral program versus spending weeks or months building one in-house.

What kind of integrations does GrowSurf provide?

GrowSurf comes with more than 30 native integrations, including an entire suite of development tools such as a REST API, JavaScript library, and webhooks. Our large library of no-code integrations includes Stripe, Recurly, Chargebee, and Salesforce.

How do rewards work in GrowSurf?

With GrowSurf, you can automate any type of reward -- this includes gift cards, credits, coupons, and cash via PayPal. With our rewards management system, you can automate the entire fulfillment process or manually approve rewards.

Here's why marketing and product teams

choose GrowSurf over the competition

Product Hunt - referral program software

"I had tried several referral marketing platforms before committing to GrowSurf. The UI/UX is much better than any of the competitors in the market, and integration was done quickly without much developer help. You can't beat it."

Wes Wagner

Head of Growth & Marketing at Microverse

"Growsurf made it incredibly easy to launch a referral program for our new and existing users and website visitors. We considered a wide array of options and Growsurf was by far the best value for money."

Max Friedman

Co-Founder & CEO at Givebutter

"No need to compare other referral marketing solutions. I've compared them all, and we went with GrowSurf.…Their quick-campaign creation and super fast customer support are amazing. Value for price is also unmatched."

Chino Lex

Founder, CEO at Keyring

"We ditched a lot of GrowSurf's competitors because they were too expensive. GrowSurf was our saving grace. We wouldn't have a referral program if we had to pay $1,000 per month."

Diego Dal Cero

Founder, CEO at EvenFi

"I had about ten other referral software providers I looked at. We chose GrowSurf because it was something we could customize without having to get developers to build the whole thing out. The price was another big plus for us."

Tracy Laranjo

Growth Manager at Willful

"I have been working with a ton of different referral programs for the past year and Growsurf takes pretty much all the development work out of setting up a seemingly integrated referral program. I was set up in less than 12 hours...Hats off to you guys, for building what I think is a very unique product."

Christopher Krohn

Marketing Coordinator at 24onoff
