Questions
Straight answers, including the ones that are not in our favor. If yours isn’t here, call or text 717-304-5741 and ask.
Getting started
Usually within one business day. We build your account with your logo, colors and wording, then send your login. You don’t set anything up yourself.
No. Your salesperson enters a customer’s name and how to reach them on one screen, and the referral link goes out. When that referral turns into an order, it takes one tap on the same screen to mark it successful. Nothing else about your process changes.
Every salesperson gets their own secure login, and we recommend going a step further: a separate dashboard for each one, rather than a single dashboard the whole team shares. Each person sees their own customers, their own referrals, and the leads those referrals bring in — so they can build real relationships with their customers and the community they sell in. Put everyone on one dashboard and a new lead lands in a common pile, where nobody can tell whose customer sent it, who should call, or who earned the sale.
Yours. Your logo, your colors, your wording, your reward amount. Your customers see your business, not ours. The only mention of us anywhere is “Powered by 50.” in small text at the bottom of the page.
All of it, any time. We fill everything in for you with wording that is already working for other businesses, and you can rewrite any part of it.
What it costs
$500 one time to get set up, no monthly fee ever, and a fee of 30% of the reward you pay out — charged only when a referral turns into a real order. On a standard $50 each way program that is $100 in gift cards plus a $30 fee, so $130 per closed referral.
You do, and only after a referral has turned into an order. You fund them directly at whatever amount you set. Nothing is marked up and nothing is passed through us.
You are charged nothing. No fee, no gift cards. The only thing a referral that goes nowhere costs you is the minute it took to send the link.
Then you are out the $500 setup and nothing else, ever — there is no monthly fee running in the background. To keep that from happening, the invite goes out automatically the moment your salesperson enters a customer, and reminders follow every few months with their link in them. You choose how often those go.
Any time. We recommend $50 each way because it is big enough to be worth sharing and small enough to stay profitable, but it is set at your discretion. Run a bigger reward and the fee scales with it — nothing else changes.
No contract and no monthly fee, so there is nothing recurring to cancel. If you tell us to stop, we stop. Any referrals already in flight get honored so none of your customers are left hanging.
How it holds up
Your card never touches our site. Every payment — the setup fee and the gift cards — runs through Stripe, which takes the card details directly. We never see a card number and we never store one. In 2025 Stripe moved $1.9 trillion for more than five million businesses, roughly 1.6% of the world’s economy, and it handles payments for 90% of the companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It is certified at PCI DSS Level 1, the strictest standard the card industry has.
Because we are not a bank and have no interest in becoming one. Holding other people’s money is a licensed, regulated business, and the companies that are good at it should be the ones doing it. Stripe moves the money. We run the referral program. You are never relying on us to be good at something we have no business being good at.
Nothing pays out on a form submission. A gift card is only issued after your own salesperson marks the referral as a completed sale, from inside your dashboard. On top of that, self-referrals and duplicate orders are blocked automatically.
You decide. The referral sits on your dashboard until a salesperson marks it successful, and nothing goes out until they do. You are never forced to pay a reward on a sale you had already earned.
Electronically, through a licensed payout provider, the moment a referral is marked successful. If you would rather handle it yourself, we email you instead and you send them. Either way there are no cards to buy by hand and no spreadsheet to keep up with.
It stays yours. It is used to run your referral program and nothing else. It is never sold, never shared, and never used to contact your customers about anything but your own program.
It works when one closed sale is worth more to you than the cost of the cards, and when your customers are the kind of people who talk to their neighbors. Builders, dealers, contractors and trades fit that well. If you are not sure, call and ask — I will tell you honestly if it is not worth your money.
Build your own dashboard and see exactly what your customers would see, with your name on it. Nothing is charged until you say go.
