How to Test the Referee Tag on Your Checkout Page (DEMO)

This guide helps you test the Mention Me referee tag in the DEMO environment. The referee tag lets new customers confirm who referred them at checkout and unlock their reward. You'll check the experience works and see the new referee in the platform.

Website Test

1. Go to your site, add an item to your basket, and proceed to checkout (don’t submit payment).
2. Check for the visible referee link: “Been referred by a friend?” near the email, promo, or form field.
3. Click the link, complete the overlay (enter the referrer you created and your test referee email), and submit. Note the code or reward that displays.
4. Open DevTools → Network tab, reload the page, and filter for your partnerCode. Confirm a request to tag-demo.mention-me.com with:
   • environment: demo
   • partnerCode and localeCode are correct
   • situation: checkout

Platform Verification

1. Go to the Customers page in the Mention Me platform
2. Search for your referee
3. Open the profile and confirm:
   • The referee is created and status shows “awaiting purchase”
   • Details match your campaign and locale

Troubleshooting

• Link not displaying: Confirm JavaScript and wrapper are present, and the referee tag is enabled for this page.
• Overlay doesn’t appear: Check for the correct page element (e.g. <div id="mmWrapper">) and install errors in the console.
• No profile created: Use a completely new test email and check that you’re searching the demo environment.
• Requests go to tag.mention-me.com (not DEMO): You’re on the live tag—update your script for DEMO testing.
