With our new Referral Extension, promoting your referral program to happy customers is easier than ever!

• Simply add the Referral Extension as an app block in your Shopify Theme Editor. Learn More
• Choose between showing the referral link immediately or after signup - customise this on the Widgets page.

This feature is currently only available to Shopify Plus merchants with Checkout Extensibility enabled.

Upload an image that appears on the tab of pages to help your customers easily identify your brand. The favicon uploaded will be used on customer-facing pages such as the Join Page and the Friend Landing Page. 

All you have to do is go to Emails & Pages, select Edit on your selected theme and upload your brand's favicon under the Branding panel.

Now, with the segments feature, you can start an affiliate program easily! This allows you to create a campaign that only enrolls people who signup via your site widgets or signup forms. Affiliates help you to reach new audiences in your industry, and not just your existing customers who’ve purchased your product 🤘🏼

(If you have previously used our email settings to support this capability, please follow the steps below).

Get Started

• Go to Target Audience > Select 'Widget Signups' as your target segment in the dropdown
• Go to Widgets to paste the relevant code snippet to your website. (Alternatively, add your Join Page link on your affiliate program page).

Note: This feature is available to new merchants only - and will be gradually released to all merchants by next week!

We're excited to announce an upgrade to referral detections! Now, we offer a more accurate referral detection as a result of better use of data we can pull out 📈

All existing and new merchants have been migrated to the upgraded version since Dec-Jan.

ps. For your information, ReferralCandy has always performed a series of validation checks to ensure your referrals are legitimate. These include:

1. Making sure the advocate is not blocked/banned.
2. Making sure the purchaser is a new customer
3. Making sure it is not a blatant self-referral (exact email address, first name, last name used)
