# Setup Refer-A-Friend System

**GoAffPro** provides you with the option to set up a refer-a-friend referral system for your customers.

{% hint style="info" %}
The refer-a-friend system lets your customers refer their friends to your store without having to sign up as affiliates. In return, they can earn rewards when their friends make purchases.
{% endhint %}

To set up a refer-a-friend referral system, go to the **Extras** section in the **Settings** tab of the GoAffPro admin panel.
