📋 What This Guide Covers
This guide explains how the Referral Widget works in Turbo Referrals and how it connects to your dealership’s referral program. You’ll learn what widgets are, the different types available, and how they appear on your dealership’s website. By the end, you’ll understand how widgets help your dealership capture more referrals directly from your site and make referral opportunities visible to every visitor.
📋 How Widget Works
A Referral Widget is a tool you can place directly on your dealership’s website. It gives visitors a simple way to sign up as Promoters, and once they do, they are stored and tracked in your portal just like any other promoter. Promoters who join through the widget are linked to the dealership’s profile.
Note: Every dealership has its own referral link and profile, which can be used when the dealership promotes its referral program as a whole rather than through a specific team member. Check out the Understand How Referral Links Work and Manage Your Dealer Profile guides to learn more.
Because the widget is part of your dealership’s website, referrals remain visible and easy to start. With a single click, a visitor can open the signup form, become a promoter, and begin promoting your dealership right away.
