ACEB Referral Program: Refer Friends & Earn Credit
The ACEB referral program lets registered users share a personal referral link and earn store credit when a new user registers through that link and completes a qualifying first order. This guide explains the practical flow, the one-order rule, referral tracking, rewards, and the most common mistakes to avoid.
Referral programs are built around trust. Instead of discovering a service through an advertisement, a new customer arrives through someone who already knows the platform. In return, the existing user can earn a referral reward when the new user completes the required action.
On ACEB, the referral mechanism is tied to account registration and the referred user's first completed order. The reward is not paid as cash and is not sent to a bank account or cryptocurrency wallet. It is credited to the referrer's ACEB balance as store credit that can be used on future purchases.
This article focuses on the practical side of the program: how to get your referral link, how a referral is tracked, when a reward can arise, how the first-order rule works, and what users should know before publicly sharing a referral link.

What Is the ACEB Referral Program?
The ACEB referral program is a refer-and-earn system for registered users. You receive a personal referral code and link associated with your account. When a new customer follows that link, creates an ACEB account, and later completes a qualifying first order, you may earn a referral reward.
The reward is held as ACEB store credit in euro. That means it can be used toward future purchases on ACEB, but it is not cash, electronic money or a crypto payout. Referral credit cannot be withdrawn or transferred to another account.
Participation is optional and free. If you do not yet have an account, you can register for an ACEB account. Existing customers can log in to ACEB and access their account area.
How to Join the ACEB Referral Program
There is no separate application process for a standard referral code. Referral codes are generated automatically for registered ACEB accounts and are available from the Referrals area.
Create or access your ACEB account. New users can register here, while existing users can sign in here.
Open the Referrals area. Your available referral codes and links are shown inside your account.
Copy your personal referral link. A typical referral URL contains your code as a ref parameter.
Share the link with a new user. The person must arrive through the referral link and create a new ACEB account for the referral to be recorded.
The referred user completes a qualifying first order. If the order meets the conditions in effect when it completes, a referral reward can be created.
Wait for the reward to mature. Eligible rewards first appear as pending and become available balance after the applicable holding period.
How Does an ACEB Referral Link Work?
Your referral link connects a new user's registration to your ACEB account. The URL contains a referral code associated with you, such as https://aceb.com/?ref=YOURCODE.
Referral codes are personal to the account that owns them. They should not be sold, traded, auctioned or represented as belonging to someone else. A code can also have an expiry date, so users should share a currently active referral link.
The important distinction is that simply clicking the link is not enough to permanently create the referral. The attribution is completed when the new user registers while the referral information is still available in their browser.
When Is a Referral Actually Recorded?
A referral is recorded when a new user creates an ACEB account after arriving through your referral link. It is not recorded merely when someone visits ACEB, and it is not first created when they place an order.
30-day browser window
Under the current rules, the referral code is remembered in the visitor's browser for 30 days after following the link. If the person registers during that period, the referral can be recorded.
Device and browser matter
If the visitor clears cookies, changes browsers or switches devices before registering, the original referral information may no longer be available.
No retroactive attribution
A referral cannot be added after registration. Someone who already has an ACEB account cannot later be attached to a referrer.
One referrer per user
Each referred user can have only one referrer. If the person followed more than one referral link, the first referral recorded when the account is created is the one that counts permanently.
The First-Order Rule: The Most Important Referral Detail
ACEB uses a one-order referral rule. A referral reward can arise only from the first order the referred customer completes. That first completed order uses the referral opportunity whether or not it ultimately generates a reward.
If the first completed order meets the applicable minimum order value and the referral program is active at that moment, the referrer can earn the applicable reward. If the first completed order does not qualify, later orders from the same referred customer do not create a second opportunity.
Why this matters
The referral relationship can remain associated with the account, but reward eligibility is tied to the referred user's first completed order. This prevents users from repeatedly generating referral rewards from the same person.
There is no stated limit on how many different people a user may refer; the one-order rule applies separately to each referred person.
How Are ACEB Referral Rewards Calculated?
The referral reward is calculated as a percentage of the referred user's qualifying first completed order. The order value is converted to euro before the percentage is applied, and the applicable percentage and minimum order value are the values in effect when the order completes.
| Program element | Current value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Referral reward | 1% | Percentage applied to a qualifying first completed order. |
| Minimum first order | €10 | The first completed order must meet the current minimum. |
| Holding period | 7 days | The reward stays pending before becoming spendable credit. |
Simple formula: Referred customer’s qualifying first order value in euro × applicable referral rate = pending referral reward. The result is calculated in whole euro cents and rounded down. The percentage and order value are fixed when the order reaches Completed status. The reward is paid by ACEB and does not increase or reduce the referred customer’s order value.
Example: At a 1% referral rate, a qualifying first completed order worth €100 generates €1 in pending ACEB store credit for the referrer.
These values can change. The official Referral Terms are the correct place to confirm the live reward percentage, minimum order value, holding period and whether the program is currently active.
What Happens After a Referral Reward Is Created?
An eligible referral reward does not become spendable immediately. It first appears as a pending reward with a maturity date. Pending referral rewards can be viewed in the account under Referrals.
After the applicable holding period ends, an eligible reward is added automatically to the user's ACEB balance. Credited referral rewards appear in the balance history and can then be used as store credit toward future ACEB purchases.
The credit does not need to be manually claimed. It may appear shortly after the exact maturity time because reward crediting runs on a schedule.
Pending does not mean guaranteed. If the underlying order is cancelled, refunded, disputed or otherwise loses Completed status before maturity, the pending reward can be cancelled. If a reward has already been credited and the underlying order is later refunded, ACEB may adjust the account balance accordingly. Rewards linked to fraud, chargebacks or abuse may also be reversed under the program rules.
Referral Rewards vs Cashback: They Are Different Programs
Referral rewards and cashback should not be treated as the same mechanism. Referral rewards compensate an existing user for introducing a new customer. Cashback is connected to the customer's own eligible purchases.
There is one important interaction on the referred user's first completed order. If that order generates a referral reward for the referrer, the referred customer does not also earn cashback on that same first order. Their cashback can continue normally on later qualifying orders. If no referral reward is paid on the first order, cashback can apply normally if the order otherwise meets the cashback conditions.
For the complete legal rules governing the referral side, use the ACEB Referral Terms. For cashback-specific conditions, use the ACEB Cashback Terms.

Common ACEB Referral Mistakes to Avoid
1. Sending the link after registration
The referral must be recorded when the new user creates their account. It cannot be attached retroactively.
2. Assuming every order can generate a reward
Only the referred person's first completed order can create the referral reward opportunity.
3. Ignoring the minimum first order
If the first completed order does not meet the applicable minimum, later orders do not provide another chance for that referral.
4. Referring yourself
Self-referrals and accounts created primarily to generate referral rewards are not permitted.
5. Treating referral credit like cash
Referral rewards are ACEB store credit. They are not withdrawable and cannot be transferred to another account.
6. Publishing outdated rates
Referral percentages, thresholds and holding periods may change. Link to the official terms instead of presenting old values as permanent.
7. Assuming a pending reward is guaranteed
A pending reward can be cancelled if the related order is cancelled, refunded, disputed or no longer has Completed status before the reward matures. Already credited rewards may also result in a balance adjustment where the underlying order is later refunded.
Start with Your ACEB Account
The referral program is easiest to understand as a simple sequence: account → personal referral link → new user registration → qualifying first completed order → pending reward → ACEB store credit.
