You can embed a referral widget anywhere on your website so visitors can easily sign up as an Advocate and start referring their friends to your store.
The widget pops up into a signup page when clicked. You can embed this widget in the bottom right or bottom left corner of your store’s website.

Switching the location
The widget is located at the lower right-hand side of the page by default. It is possible to move this to the lower left-hand side of the page by specifying the value of the data-location attribute to "left"
.
Changing the stack order (z-index)
If you have multiple banners or widgets on your store, you can set the z-index value of the referral widget to prevent site elements from overlapping.
For instance, if you have a GDPR consent banner that you want to appear on top of the widget, you can set the z-index to a lower value.
