Affiliate Program Workaround

​@La Pizzeria -  I’ve looked into this as well, and unfortunately there isn’t a built-in way to create or track affiliate programs inside HoneyBook. Right now the referral system only applies to promoting HoneyBook itself, not our own services.

I haven’t found a true workaround either, since HoneyBook doesn’t expose referral tracking or any kind of affiliate cookie/ID system that could tie a lead to an outside source.

If you have a web developer on your team, the closest workaround would be to:

• Track referrals before they enter HoneyBook — using unique links, UTM parameters, or a custom form on your site
• Then route them into HoneyBook after they’re already tagged/tracked

…but the actual affiliate tracking and payouts would still have to happen outside of HB.

It would be great to have this natively, though! I’d definitely recommend submitting or upvoting it in the Feature Request section — I know a lot of creatives would love this, too.

You could also do this manually, though it’s not as effective or clean -

1. Ensure “referral” is one of your Lead Source options
2. Create a second question that says “If you chose Referral from the question above, who can we thank for referring you?” 
3. Make it part of someone’s job to check these every 2 weeks or once a month, and payout the referrals manually.
