# How referrals work

Fluid CRM rewards you for spreading the word.\
When you refer someone to Fluid, **both of you get extra time** once they subscribe.

***

### Give a Month, Get a Month

Fluid CRM runs a simple referral program:

* Your friend gets **30 bonus days** when they sign up
* You get **30 bonus days** when they become a paying customer

There are no limits to how many people you can refer.

***

### Your referral link

Every workspace has a **unique referral link**.

Example:\
`https://fluidcrm.io/auth?ref=7AAE5D66`

You can copy this link from:

* The **Referral** tab in Settings
* The **gift icon** in the sidebar, which copies a ready-made message to your clipboard

Example message copied from the sidebar:

> Hey, I found this CRM called Fluid that makes tracking deals way faster and easier.\
> Here's a link to get a free month: <https://fluidcrm.io/auth?ref=7AAE5D66>

You can share this link anywhere:

* Email
* Slack or Teams
* WhatsApp or iMessage
* Social media
* Private communities

***

### How bonus days are earned

1. You share your referral link
2. Your friend signs up\
   → They receive **30 bonus days** added to their trial
3. Your friend subscribes\
   → You receive **30 bonus days** added to your account

Bonus days are applied automatically. No manual steps required.

***

### Referral stats

Inside the Referral tab, you can see:

* Number of friends referred
* Total bonus days earned

This helps you track how much free time you’ve unlocked.

***

### Sidebar gift icon

You can hide the animated gift icon from the sidebar if you prefer a cleaner UI.

* Toggle **Hide sidebar gift icon**
* This does not disable referrals
* Your referral link remains available in Settings

***

### What to read next

* Referral terms – rules and limitations
* Manage subscription – how bonus days affect billing
* Seats and pricing – how referrals interact with team plans
