What Is Viral Loops?
Viral Loops provides campaign templates for refer-a-friend, milestone, pre-launch, leaderboard, and ecommerce referral programs. Businesses can create branded referral pages and widgets, generate unique sharing links, define rewards and milestones, track referrals and conversions, and connect campaign data to email, CRM, automation, and ecommerce systems.
Best for: Startups and ecommerce brands that want template-based referral campaigns without building referral infrastructure from scratch.
Viral Loops supplies different campaign templates for use cases such as waitlists and referral programs without making every promotion start from the same transaction-based flow. A launch team can select a sharing mechanic and customize its participant experience. The program still needs a trustworthy conversion signal and anti-abuse rules where rewards depend on registrations and not on paid purchases.
