# 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.

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