Kiva Logic Relaunches Referral Program With Ecommerce-Grade Promotions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The rebuilt system gives food delivery and subscription merchants modern, mobile-optimized referral tools and limited-time bonus promotions with zero setup required.
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Maine - October 14, 2026 - Kiva Logic today announced a complete relaunch of its referral program, bringing modern ecommerce-style promotional tools to subscription home-delivery, CSA, farm-box, and co-op businesses. The update gives merchants a flexible foundation for running customer referral promotions without any configuration required on their part.
The new system lets merchants set referral amounts directly from the admin dashboard, attach auto-applying discount codes to referral bonuses, and run limited-time 'bonus' periods with increased payouts. Bonus periods display automatically on a merchant's storefront, similar to a Black Friday banner, and are available as a dedicated block for merchants using Kiva Logic's Page Builder. Referral dollar amounts lock in at the moment a new customer signs up, so merchants can adjust rates at any time going forward without disrupting pending referrals already in progress.
Every page in the referral flow has been rebuilt from the ground up. The logged-out 'tell a friend' page now promotes the program to potential customers before they even sign up. The logged-in sharing page has been modernized with current best-practice sharing methods, including text messaging, direct messaging, and built-in browser sharing, since the large majority of referrals happen on mobile devices. The landing page new customers see after clicking a referral link now includes real customer testimonials and a how-it-works FAQ instead of a bare signup form. Customers can also personalize their referral code to something memorable, with automated screening to catch inappropriate submissions, and can add a personal note to the emails they send.
The 'refer a friend' promotion itself is now surfaced site-wide at the top of every page when the feature is enabled, rather than buried in a menu, and the customer account dashboard has been redesigned to clearly show earned referral dollars and the status of referred signups. Referral links have also been updated to a simpler friend/REFERCODE format, with all existing links continuing to work. Together, these changes give merchants a ready-made framework for running promotions such as give $5 get $10, or time-limited boosted offers around key sales periods.
"We looked at what the big ecommerce players do with referrals and brought it to food businesses. You don't have to touch a thing to benefit from this, but if you want to run a real promotion, you now have everything you need to do it right." said Wayne Pierson, founder of Kiva Logic.
