Program overview for new partners
Use this when introducing the referral program, explaining payout tracking, and showing why companies that meet new businesses are a strong fit.
Referral Partner Program
Refer growing businesses. Get tracked. Get paid.
Knight Logics partners with sign shops, print shops, bookkeeping teams, consultants, and service providers that regularly meet new business owners. Partners get a tracked QR code, a referral brochure, and reporting that connects offline introductions to online inquiries.
1
Partner is registered
The business is added to the referral partner list and receives a unique referral code.
2
QR code sends tracked visits
Brochures, counters, and handouts can send leads through a partner-specific route.
3
Referral status is visible
Admin review, invoices, and future payout methods are built around the same tracked record.
Two brochure formats for real conversations
The general brochure explains the program. The personalized version gives a specific partner its own referral code and QR path for walk-in customers, counter displays, and hand-delivered pitches.
Partner-specific brochure
Unique QR code for each business
Each partner can receive a customized handout with their company name, referral code, and tracked QR route so referrals are attributable.
Referral partner program
Refer a business. Get tracked. Get paid.
Approved partners can appear in the referral dropdown and use a unique QR code on brochures, counters, or pitch materials.
QR CODE
Example: sign shops, print shops, business service providers, and companies that regularly meet new businesses.
Brochures become trackable workflows
Approve partners, generate QR links, and show them where their referrals go.
The referral system connects offline sales, QR codes, website attribution, checkout metadata, and payout reporting into one workflow.
1
Partner applies and gets approved
Their company can then appear in the referral dropdown and receive a unique referral URL or QR code.
2
QR or brochure visit is tracked
Visits, form starts, checkout starts, and paid conversions can be attributed to the right partner.
3
Dashboard proves the payout path
Partners can see referral status, and admins can review payout history before invoices or transfers are issued.
Tracked referrals in production
Real admin surfaces behind the brochure workflow — QR generation, checkout attribution, and payout review.

Referral status before any transfer is issued
Completed projects tied to a partner code surface for manual review — referrals are not auto-paid on click volume alone. Admins confirm eligibility before invoice or transfer.

- Checkout metadata tied to the referring business
- Payout path visible — not a handshake promise
Best-fit referral partners
The program is built for companies that already talk with owners who are launching, rebranding, renovating, or trying to improve how their business runs.
High fit
Sign and print shops
New businesses often need signage, cards, menus, vehicle graphics, and websites around the same time.
High fit
Business service providers
Bookkeepers, consultants, insurance agents, and local vendors frequently hear when operations or marketing are holding a company back.
High fit
Local trades and vendors
Companies serving other businesses can refer clients who need better websites, local SEO, lead handling, or automation.
Partner application
Get registered before referrals are paid.
Partners are reviewed before they appear in active referral materials. Payouts are tied to approved partner records, valid referral codes, completed payments, and manual review before invoice or transfer.
Visible referral status
A referral should never disappear into a handshake.
The current system supports partner verification and administrative referral review. The payout layer can expand from manual invoices into automated emails, direct deposits, or transfer workflows as the program grows.

How tracking and payout eligibility work
The mechanics behind the QR code, so partners know what's actually being measured before they hand out a brochure.
Step 1
Referral code assigned
Each approved partner gets a unique referral code tied to their business record, used on their personalized brochure and QR route.
Step 2
Touchpoints get attributed
Website visits, form starts, checkout starts, and completed payments through that code are logged against the partner's record.
Step 3
Admin review before payout
A completed, paid project is reviewed manually before any invoice or transfer is issued - referrals aren't auto-paid on click volume alone.
Payout terms, commission structure, and qualifying project types are confirmed directly with each partner during approval rather than published as a blanket rate - project scope varies too much (a website build and an automation project are priced differently) for one generic number to be accurate.
Referral Program FAQ
Common questions before applying.
Eligibility
Who gets approved?
Businesses that regularly and legitimately meet new business owners - sign shops, print shops, bookkeepers, consultants, and similar local vendors are the strongest fit.
Tracking
What if a referral calls instead of scanning the QR code?
Mention the referring partner during intake and it can be manually attributed. The QR code and referral link make tracking automatic, but they aren't the only path to credit.
Timing
How long does partner approval take?
Applications are reviewed manually, not auto-approved, since partners appear in live referral materials. There's no published guaranteed turnaround - reach out if a submitted application is time-sensitive.
Fit
Who is this program not a good fit for?
Anyone expecting a flat monthly payout unrelated to actual referrals, or anyone unwilling to be reviewed before appearing in referral materials. This is a performance-based partner program, not a paid placement.
Materials
Do I have to use the printed brochure?
No. The brochure is one option. A partner's unique referral link or QR code works the same way whether it's on a printed handout, a counter display, or shared digitally.
Status
Can I check on a referral I already sent?
Yes, through the partner verification dashboard linked above, once your application has been approved and your code is active.
Payout
How and when do partners actually get paid?
Today that's a manual invoice or transfer after a referred project is completed and paid, reviewed case by case. We're not going to publish a fake automated-payout promise before that layer is actually built.
Scale
Is this open to partners outside Tampa Bay?
The program started with local sign shops, print shops, and service vendors who meet new business owners in person, but the same tracked-code approach works for any partner who regularly refers businesses that need a website, SEO, or automation.
