If you are utilizing the Refer-a-Friend (RAF) module on your website or inside your Portal for your referral program participants to refer others, there are various options you can enable to make it easy for them to share.

When a participant is logged into their Portal account from a mobile device, the Portal provides quick access to Copy Link, show/save QR code, and a single Share button to allow for an optimal and fast share experience in the moment whether that's in-person with someone or online.

The single share button uses native functionality that lets the user select from any app on their mobile device and share their unique referral link.

Enable the Copy Button to show your participants their unique referral link and a button for them to copy and share it directly.

For a website RAF: You will find this in the Editor > any RAF > Widget > Header section.

You can customize the color of the background, text, border, and button.

For the Portal RAF: You will find this in the Campaign > Portal > Share Messaging section, but you do not have the option to hide the share link and copy button.

Enable QR Code to show your participants their unique QR code, which they can show to someone in-person. When scanned by the referred-person with the camera on their mobile device, it will redirect them to your landing page as if they'd clicked on the share link. TIP: This is a great way to enable face-to-face / offline referring!
