iOS referral platform
Refaro shows how Idea as Code can turn a fuzzy referral-marketplace idea into a live mobile product with customer QR passes, merchant onboarding, business deal controls, Supabase-backed data, Vercel APIs, and App Store release operations.
Project summary
Refaro is an iOS referral hub that helps customers claim local offers, show one QR pass at checkout, and lets participating merchants scan, manage, and measure referral rewards.
Try it live
Refaro is live as an early-access referral hub for customers and participating businesses. Customers can discover offers, claim referrals, save deals, and show a Refaro QR pass. Merchants can connect a business, create deals, scan customer passes, and track reward progress.
