Refer-a-Maker: How Filazoo's Referral Program Rewards You and Your Friends

Here's the whole program in one sentence: share your link, your friend gets 15% off their first order, and you get $10 in Filazoo store credit once their order ships. No catch, no expiration games.

If you've already got friends asking what filament you're using, you might as well get paid for the recommendation. Here's exactly how it works.

The Mechanic

• Your friend uses your personal referral link to place their first Filazoo order.
• They get 15% off automatically at checkout — no code to remember.
• Once their order ships, you get $10 in store credit added to your account.
• There's no limit on how many friends you can refer. Ten friends, ten spools of credit.

How to Find and Share Your Link

1. Log in to your Filazoo account and open your account dashboard.
2. Find your personal referral link under the Referrals section — it's generated automatically the first time you visit that page.
3. Share it however's easiest: text it to a friend, drop it in a maker Discord, post it on social. Every order placed through that link is tracked back to you.

A Real Example

Say you refer three friends over a couple of months. Each one clicks your link, gets their 15% off, and places an order. As soon as the first friend's order ships, $10 lands in your account. Same for the second and third. By the time your fifth referral ships, you've picked up $50 in credit plus the free spool of PLA Basic — enough that your own next order could end up costing close to nothing, depending on what you're buying.

Reward Tiers

"Successful" simply means your friend's referred order has shipped — no minimum spend required on their end beyond checking out.

A Good First Order for Your Friend

If the person you're referring is new to printing, point them toward the PLA+ Everyday Essentials Filament Bundle at Filazoo's shop. It's built for exactly this situation — a first order that covers the basics without overbuying, and it stretches their 15% discount further than a single spool would. If they're on the fence about switching brands, our post on what new customers get with their first order lays out the whole first-purchase experience, referral discount included.

Why Referrals Instead of Ads

Referral credit and paid discount codes solve the same problem two different ways. A generic discount code gets shared everywhere and loses meaning fast. A referral link only works because a real person you know is vouching for the material — that's worth more to both sides, which is why we split the value between you and your friend instead of keeping it as ad spend.

This also means the program stays simple by design: one link, one discount, one credit amount. No tiers to memorize, no codes that expire mid-order, and nothing that requires you to track spreadsheets to figure out what you're owed. Your dashboard does that part.

Why We Built It This Way

We'd rather spend marketing budget rewarding people who are already printing with us than on ads aimed at strangers. If a friend recommends Filazoo, that recommendation is worth more than anything we could say about ourselves — so it seemed fair to split the value with the person doing the recommending.

Log in to your account, grab your link, and start sharing. Once your first referral ships, keep an eye on your account balance — that $10 shows up fast.
