Start from a worked specification
Each template sets out the reward on both sides, the trigger, the qualifying event and the payout timing — plus where that shape characteristically goes wrong.
Are these referral program templates free?
Yes — free and ungated. Each template is a complete specification: both rewards, the trigger, the qualifying event, eligibility and payout timing, with the reasoning and failure modes stated.
How do I choose a referral program template?
Match the qualifying event to your business first — when does a referred person become real revenue? — then the category. A template whose payout timing fights your refund window or sales cycle will fail regardless of the reward.
Can I use a template outside its named industry?
Usually, with one check: the mechanics transfer, but the watch-outs are industry-specific. A fintech template's compliance notes or a healthcare template's referral-payment restrictions don't follow the template out — reread that section for your own context.
