expiry (days) — how many days a pending referral stays open if the new member doesn't make a payment in this window the referral expires and no reward is issued default is 90 days (min 7, max 365) custom invite message — optional message shown to members when they share their link via whatsapp if left blank, a default message is used 📈 reward tiers (per referral rate ladder) reward tiers let the referrer's per referral payout scale up as they bring in more conversions — for example rm 10 each for the first 4 referrals, then rm 15 each from the 5th onward, then rm 20 each beyond 10 this is different from milestones, which give a one off bonus on hitting a specific count tiers change the ongoing per referral rate configuring tiers (admin) under settings → reward tiers , add tier rows each tier has from — minimum number of referrals at which this tier kicks in up to — maximum referrals before the next tier takes over (leave open ended for the highest tier) reward per referral — rm amount paid for each conversion in this range the lowest tier starts at 1 referral each tier's range automatically aligns with the next what members see (invite friends card) members see a unified reward path combining tiers and milestones in one ladder the current tier rate is highlighted (e g "you're earning rm 15 per referral right now" ) a progress bar shows checkpoints — each represents a tier unlock or milestone bonus each stop has a status badge unlocked / in progress / locked when the next tier is reached, members see the new rate they'll earn tiers and milestones can both be active
