-To implement a referral system, [set up a referral event](#set-up-a-referral-event) and [create referral rewards](#grant-referral-rewards) in Studio. The `ReferredByPlayerId` property of `Class.Player:GetJoinData()|GetJoinData()` automatically populates for all types of invitations and gives you access to the user ID of the referring player. You can then access this data in the `Players.PlayerAdded` event to identify the inviter and grant rewards to both the inviter and the invitee.

-## Best practices
-
-Follow the best practices to get the most out of your friend referral system.

-- To encourage players in your experience to take advantage of referrals, add an in-experience button to advertise the referral system. Give the button a descriptive title and connect the button click event to the friend invite modal where players can see the reward banner.
-- Update the title and description of your experience to include the referral system. For example, you can add "[Referral reward live]" to your experience's title to make players who are browsing Roblox aware of referral rewards.
