Troubleshooting

The referrer did not receive points or a gift

Confirm that the referred member completed their first purchase. Check that the campaign is active and the referral relationship exists.

The reward is issued more often than expected

Set an Effect application per member limit. Ensure the referee condition matches only a first purchase.

The gift was not issued

Confirm that the selected reward is active and available. Check that its inventory or coupon pool has remaining stock.
