Getting Started with Refer & Earn: One-Time Partner Activation
Activate your partner program by accepting the 4 agreements, generate your unique referral link and short code, and learn how Karo Coins work.
#What is the Refer & Earn Program?
Think of Refer & Earn as an official word-of-mouth partner program for business owners. As an entrepreneur, you naturally know other shop owners, clinic managers, restaurant founders, and fellow traders in your neighborhood or business association.
When you recommend Karo Simple to a fellow business owner and they sign up and purchase a subscription plan, you earn Karo Coins. Karo Coins are our proprietary reward currency that can be redeemed for rewards and platform benefits.
#How Karo Coins Work (Simple Math)
- Exchange Rate: 2 Karo Coins = ā¹1 in value.
- Example Earnings: 200 coins = ā¹100 | 600 coins = ā¹300 | 1,000 coins = ā¹500 | 1,600 coins = ā¹800.
- Redemption Threshold: You can redeem your coins as soon as your wallet balance reaches a minimum of 500 coins (ā¹250 value).
Eligibility Note
The Refer & Earn program is available to standalone business owners. If your Karo Simple account is currently managed by an external marketing agency(business managed by agency), the Refer & Earn tab will be hidden.
