Referral Program

[ignatius]

I know there is an affiliate program out there that allows people to send customers over from their website. But what if most of your customers dont even have a website?

 

I need existing customers to refer a friend and when the friend signs up, they can identify the person that referred them(by their email perhaps).

 

Then if the new customer buys something, the referring customer will get 1 point. which will show up in in admin when the original customer makes their next order.

 

Does the affiliate contribution allow me to do that? or is it quite difficult to do. I am a beginner trying to hack away with php and sql
