[SOLVED] Customer referral commission

I have this client that wants to give $30 in cash or credit towards other products to each person that refers someone to buy a particular product. The HikaShop serial doesn't seem to give us this capability and the affiliate program won't work because this is 'not' a true affiliate program since the person referring their friend to buy a product does not have a separate website.

So how can we do this inside HikaShop? Somehow we need to have a way to generate some type of code that the referring person will get that they can give to the person they are recommending the product to list on the checkout so some type of 'credit' is applied to that persons account. I believe we 'could' use the affiliate program but not quite sure how this would work for specific products.

I don't see how this 'could' work but I set customer ID=1 as 'Yes' to Affiliate. I created a banner. and here is the generated code when I created a menu button on the HikaShop hidden menus.
