# How it All Works

In order for a user to earn referral rewards, a buyer must accept their corresponding referral link and then place a buy order through PancakeSwap.

After clicking the referral link, the buyer is brought to our Dashboard and a confirmation box appears. \

Upon clicking accept, a MetaMask transaction pops up to send a contract interaction, which will accept the referral for the buyer and log the event in the blockchain.

&#x20;After this is complete, any buys the buyer places (no matter if they are placed through our Dashboard, or through PancakeSwap directly) will instantly have a 2% fee deducted and sent to the referrer.
