How referrals work

Every Qubed page has a share-to-climb referral loop built in. There's nothing to install and nothing to configure. Here's exactly what happens, end to end.

1. A visitor joins

They enter their email and submit. The signup is checked and saved on our server, and they get a place in line based on when they joined, plus a unique 8-character referral code.

2. They get a personal link

The success screen shows their position ("You're #48 in line") and their link: qubed.xyz/<slug>?ref=<code>. Share buttons for X, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook and email, a copy button and the phone's share sheet make sending it a one-tap job. A small ladder shows where one, two or three friends would put them.

3. Friends join through the link

When someone signs up through that link, the new subscriber is linked to the person who referred them and the referrer's count goes up by one.

4. The referrer moves up

Each successful referral is worth 3 spots. Effective position = original position − (referrals × 3), and it never goes below #1. The original join order is stored separately, so the queue can always be rebuilt exactly. Why 3? See the referral boost.

Referral links, the share panel and top-referrer stats are free on every plan and work with every template. For the bigger picture, read about the referral waitlist feature, or pick a template built to show it off, like Matrix.
