Referral code (recommend choirs)

What is this?

With the referral code you recommend Chorilo to other choirs and ensembles. When the recommended choir takes out a paid subscription, you both receive a discount — you as the recommending choir and the new choir as the referred customer. This is Chorilo''s way of thanking active communities and recommenders.

Typical use cases:

• You know other choir directors still working with Excel and WhatsApp.
• You are active in the choir association and exchange notes with other choirs.
• You direct another choir and want to switch it to Chorilo too.

How the recommendation works

1. Open your choir and go to Administration > Referral code.
2. Copy your personal code or the ready-made referral link.
3. Share the code by email, messenger, social media or directly in person with the other choir.
4. The recommended choir enters the code when creating their choir or when upgrading the subscription.
5. Both sides receive the discount automatically as soon as the subscription of the recommended choir is active.

What you see in the referral area

• Your personal code to copy or as QR code
• Number of your successful recommendations
• Current discount status and next discount step
• List of choirs you recommended (anonymized when the discount has been credited)
• Template for a recommendation email if you do not know how to start

Permission

You need the permission ensemble.edit to retrieve and use the referral code. By default the owner and choir director have this access.

Tips

• Personalize your recommendation email. A short personal note ("We have used Chorilo for half a year and would not want to miss it") feels much more convincing than an anonymous link.
• Mention concrete advantages that excited you as a choir — such as attendance management, the sheet music library or the cashbook. That helps the other choir see the value.
• Distribute your code at association meetings or in the singers'' association newsletter. Other choir directors often have the same problems as you.
• Let the recommended choir know that both sides benefit — that lowers the threshold further.
