Instant Access Widgets Release

May 16, 2023

feature-release

🔗 Introducing Our New Instant Access Program Widgets

Exciting news! We’ve released our brand-new Instant Access Widget. This exciting new feature gives you the ability to drive even more referrals with low-barrier programs that live on your website or ecommerce store.

What are low-barrier referral programs? Low-barrier referral programs are programs that require minimal effort from participants, making it ultra-easy for them to refer their friends to your business.

The most common barrier for participants is when they are asked to login or signup to make a referral. Our Instant Access Widgets help increase referral rates by removing that barrier – your participants won’t need to login or signup to refer! All it takes for your participants to refer is an email address and a couple of clicks.

With SaaSquatch Instant Access Widgets, ecommerce and retail brands can:

  • Create easy-to-use referral experiences that live in a website or online-store
  • Increase referral rates by engaging shoppers at high conversion points
  • Get set-up quickly and easily with minimal dev time and resources
  • Create seamless, on-brand programs using our 100% customizable widget editor
  • Send custom, single-use discount codes using SaaSquatch Fuel Tank Rewards, learn more here »

Self-serve Domain Set-up and Management

March 17, 2023

feature-release

Great news! We've made it easier to set-up and manage custom domains. Full access team members can now use our self-serve setup flow to easily assign a custom domain to your program’s sharelinks, microsites and emails.

What are custom domains? Custom domains replace the default “.ssqt.co" domain with a root or subdomain that you already own, providing a more cohesive on-brand experience for your participants.

An example of a custom domain for a share link: referral.yourdomain.com/unique-referral-code.

Why use custom domains? With SaaSquatch, all program touchpoints can be completely customized to match your brand. Custom domains are one of the many tools you can use in SaaSquatch to create an on-brand participant experience. Providing that on-brand experience builds credibility and trust with your participants, resulting in increased program engagement and participation.

Tracking windows and Data Management

September 23, 2022

feature-releaseproduct-update

Introducing: Updated calculated fields, new tracking windows

We’ve released a feature set that has a direct impact on how customer data is received, how those values are calculated, stored, and made visible, and how they can be leveraged to add time-based logic functionalities.

Key Features

Custom Fields: SaaSquatch supports the ability to accept custom information about each of the users in your programs. These custom fields go above and beyond the minimum required for your program and are easier to manage with our new data management experience.

Calculated Fields: Unlike custom fields, which just record the information you send us, calculated fields allow you to perform different types of calculations with the data you send us, and then store the resulting value as a custom field that’s available on the participant’s profile. Once the calculated field is set up, its value will update dynamically as you send SaaSquatch events that meet your criteria.

Tracking Windows: A tracking window allows you to add time-based elements to calculated fields. This is useful if you want to set your referral and loyalty programs to only reward participants when they complete actions during a window of time. They can be fixed or sliding periods of time, and tracking windows can be used to set up program rules that incentivize your participants based on recency, frequency, or monetary value.

With this feature set, you’ll be able to reward your customers for highly specific actions, or during specific windows of time. It opens up a whole new world of customization in your programs, making them more robust and more powerful than ever before!

As always, if you find yourself stuck or need some help getting started, our Success team is here to help.

SaaSquatch Announces SOC 2 Type II Certification

September 30, 2020

feature-release

We’re proud to announce that SaaSquatch has successfully completed a Service Organization Control (SOC 2¼) Type II examination.

Our SOC 2 certification represents a valuable addition to our suite of enterprise-grade features that support customers in even the most highly-regulated industries such as the finance, telecommunications, and education sectors.

We believe that SOC 2 compliance is a critical security requirement for any leading referral and loyalty software vendor, especially when supporting complex customer journeys or handling sensitive data.

To learn more about what a SOC 2 certification means for your referral and loyalty programs, and how it strengthens our commitment to providing a secure and trusted solution for acquiring, monetizing, and retaining your best customers, please see the official announcement on our blog here.

Points Program Updates

March 24, 2020

product-update

We’re excited to announce updates to the Points Program interface that let you fully customize how customers collect and redeem loyalty points. With SaaSquatch, you can:

  • Encourage valuable customer behavior by creating formulas that determine exactly how many points are awarded for each type of action, and
  • Engage customers across the entire lifecycle by stacking multiple triggers that give customers a variety of opportunities to earn points.

Points Program Update

🔗 Choose when to reward customers:

  • Will customers earn points for making a purchase, filling out their profile, downloading an app, or other action?
  • For each action, add conditions like what kind of item must be purchased, what amount must be spent or what segments qualify.

🔗 Choose how many points customers will earn:

  • When a purchase or other custom event is completed, how many points are earned as a result?
  • Set up anything from a simple structure where $1 spent = 1 point, or enter your own custom formula. For example, let customers earn 5 points for every increment of $10 spent, 100 point bonus for every year they’ve been a subscriber, or 20 points for every 5 star rating and 10 points for every other rating.

Combine criteria and conditions for both of these settings to create a flexible points program that rewards the customer behavior that is most valuable to your business. Learn more here.

Gift Card Reward Updates

March 10, 2020

product-update

When setting up your referral program in SaaSquatch, the gift card integration lets you automatically send gift card rewards to qualifying program participants. With our TangoCard integration, you can choose from a wide range of brands like Amazon, Apple iTunes, Starbucks, Prepaid Visa, Spotify, and more.

We’re excited to announce new updates that make gift card rewards even easier to set up for optimal results.

🔗 Set up your program with a visual gift card picker

When setting up the reward for a referrer or referred friend, choosing the Gift Card option displays a visual gift card selector where you can choose your preferred brand, currency, and custom amount. Many brands are available in multiple currencies, but you can filter for a precise list.

Gift Card Picker

🔗 Prevent Fraud with a Pending Reward Window

To combat fraud and maximize program ROI, you can add conditions that hold the gift card reward(s) until you can confirm that the referral is successful.

Much like a physical reward, it can be almost impossible to retract a gift card reward once it’s given out. By setting a length of time for which the reward is pending, you can be confident that rewards are only given out when all referral conditions are met.

For example, you may hold the promoter’s gift card reward as pending for 30 days in case the referred friend returns their product or cancels their subscription.

For more information on why, how, and when to use gift cards as rewards, check out this article.

Referral Program Reward Tiers

January 28, 2020

feature-release

At SaaSquatch, we know that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to referral rewards. This is why our brand new tiered referral program functionality supports the flexibility you need to get the results you desire.

If you’re looking for a way to get a better ROI, boost program engagement, and automatically personalize each reward, it’s time to set up referral reward tiers.

🔗 What is a tiered referral program?

A tiered referral program is a structured referral program that lets you configure different rewards for different kinds of referrals.

🔗 What kind of tiers can I set up?

Create tiered referral programs that trigger the best rewards based on your own custom rules like:

  • What the referred friend buys
  • Who makes the referral
  • How the referred friend interacts with your product

For example, create a tiered referral program to reward promoters with a $5 credit if their referred friend spends $50, and a $10 credit if their friend spends over $100.

Click here for even more ways you can use referral tiers to boost program results.

Please note: Referral reward tiers are available as part of our Growth Automation platform, and not currently available for Classic referral programs.

SaaSquatch Begins SoC 2 Audit Process

January 13, 2020

product-update

Protecting the integrity of your customer data is at the heart of everything we do at SaaSquatch.

This is why we’ve entered the readiness phase of earning our SoC 2 Type II certification - An achievement that represents our continued commitment to building on trustworthy customer relationships.

🔗 What is SoC 2 Type II compliance?

SoC 2 (“Service Organization Control 2”) is an internationally-recognized certification developed by the AICPA. It acts as third-party assurance to verify that a service provider is committed to following the highest standards of security when it comes to managing customer data.

In other words, a Soc 2 Type II accreditation means that any customer data you send to SaaSquatch (to facilitate referral and loyalty programs) is being managed in a secure and audited environment.

🔗 How does SaaSquatch earn SoC 2 Type II Compliance?

Soc 2 Type II compliance is earned as the result of a successful 6-month audit by an independent firm. It is by no means a quick and easy process, but rather a diligent examination of our internal security policies, procedures, and controls.

As a result, every employee is equipped with a clear and complete understanding of what it means to uphold security standards.

🔗 What are the next steps?

With the SoC 2 audit window beginning in February 2020, we aim to have our SoC 2 Type II certification completed by the end of 2020.

Partner Program Updates

December 23, 2019

product-update

Our team has worked to release a more powerful and flexible Partner Program featuring tiered rewards and dynamic commission windows. In addition, we’ve included our newest and most intuitive interface for an improved Partner Program set-up experience.

We plan to roll this updated UI to all of our programs with future updates as part of our goal of making creating and updating your programs easier than ever!

With tiered rewards, it is now possible to specify different rewards based on criteria defined by you, as flexible or as rigid as desired. Examples of tiered rewards include:

  • Product category: 4% commission on purchases of shoes and 10% for beauty products.
  • Customer segment: 10% commission if you are a VIP, 5% for all other customers.
  • Order value: 10% for purchases up to $50, 5% for purchases from $50 to $100 and $2.5 for purchases higher than $100.
  • Anything else included in the user or purchase information you send to us.

Dynamic commission windows allow you to adjust the reward given based on a custom timeframe. Examples of a commission window include:

  • 10% for purchases made within the first 6 months and 5% commission thereafter.
  • No commission earned for 3 months since the referred user made a purchase and then 2.5% thereafter

You can now additionally specify which currency you would like rewards to be issued in. This is ideal for programs that handle multiple different currencies, as you can specify a single currency you would like your partners to be rewarded in.

The updated Partner Program has been launched and is available for all SaaSquatch implementations starting today!

Customizable Referral Cookie Expiry

December 03, 2019

product-update

Update June 10,2020: Configurable cookie expiry works with 1st party cookies

One of the ways we link Referred Users to Referrers is by placing a cookie in the Referred User’s browser when a sharelink is clicked. Traditionally, this cookie has had a one year expiry date, meaning that it would cease functioning one year after first being created.

With our latest update, you can now specify a custom amount of time before the cookie expires. This is great for creating limited-time offers, gating participants or ensuring that referrals don’t get lost to time by setting it to the maximum length of one year.

This feature is now available in all Growth Automation programs that use referral cookies: the Referral Program, the Tiered Referral Program and the Partner Program.

Introducing the Zapier + SaaSquatch Integration

Updated Stripe Integration

September 20, 2019

product-update

This has been implemented in the SaaSquatch system and requires no additional changes by the customer. Read more in our Success Centre Docs here.

🔗 Widget Referral Ordering

We've updated the widget data to order referrals by date instead of what was previously a more random ordering. This provides participants with a more logical and engaging view of their referral progress. The ordering change has been implemented in the SaaSquatch system and requires no additional changes by the customer. To review the widgets and touch points used in a referral program, see our success docs.

🔗 Simplify User Creation in Portal

We've eased back the restrictions for creating new users in the portal, making the process simple and more efficient for all users. Now participants or program administrators can add new users by last name only.

🔗 User Blocking

To minimize fraud, a new security feature has been added that allows campaign managers to block specific users by IP Address or name. This feature can be enabled or disabled at anytime through the Security settings directly in the portal.

yay

As things continue to ramp up for SaaSquatch, we’ll be sure to keep you posted on what’s new in the monthly Release Recaps. Here’s our top feature updates and releases from this past month.

🔗 Mobile – Universal SDKs

The SaaSquatch mobile SDKs, Android and iOS, have all been updated. With these updates you can now compile your app both for emulators and physical devices without changing your environment settings. Additionally they have been updated to support the newest SaaSquatch open APIs. Read more


🔗 Fraud Prevention – Global Reward Limit

This new fraud prevention feature allows you to limit your liability without sacrificing the average end user’s experience. The new fraud filter places a limit on the maximum number of rewards the SaaSquatch system will give out in a single day.

🔗 Program Experience – Broken Program Detection

A new feature has been added to our system for all users that detects broken installations and alerts our success team so we can pre-emptively assist with installation issues.

🔗 Portal – Enhanced Portal Pagination

We understand that there are some real power portal users out there who have to manage a lot of data. To help these users out a bit, we’ve added a new pagination control that lets program administrators manage more records at a time.

🔗 Referral Widget – User-Only Referral Data

This feature improvement allows customers to enable personalized widgets that only show referrals specific to individual users and not the shared account referrals. This is particularly useful for any customer offering gift cards as a referral reward.

🔗 Referral Widget – Self-identified Widgets

The self-identify feature in the widget has been upgraded so that customers, both referring and referred, can provide their first and last name. Additionally, there are new options in the theme section to control which self-identify fields will appear in the widget.

Customers who use custom short links may have noticed that when you visit their custom short link domain without referral details you get a blank page. Now all customers with custom short links can configure a URL where users get redirected to instead of the error.

🔗 Infrastructure – Automated Widget Regression Tests

SaaSquatch is committed to the highest possible system uptime. In response to a short, temporary outage event last month, we have added automated mechanisms that will detect future widget outages to limit widget downtime and keep programs running smoothly.
