This page shows where everything lives in the Refer a Friend admin, so you know which screen to open for each job.
Open the plugin from WooCommerce → Refer a Friend. You need the Administrator or Shop Manager role.
Advocates
A list of customers who have referred at least one friend. It shows each advocate’s referral code, total referrals and the revenue from their referral orders. The cards at the top total the advocates, referral orders and referral revenue for the period you pick, such as the last 90 days.
Orders
Every order placed through a referral, with its status, the advocate who referred it, the date and the amount. Click an order number to open it in WooCommerce.
