Use segments to target website signups only

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!

New dashboard testing, custom domain, and more

Hello there!

Here are some quick updates on the exciting projects we have been working on:

1. New dashboard rollout

We are testing the new dashboard with 100 merchants to make sure it is working great. Keep an eye out for an invite from us to try the new dashboard!

2. Custom email domain

You will soon be able to send your referral emails via your brand's domain (with the new dashboard). This will give you more control over the branding and deliverability of your emails. We are QA-ing this feature at the moment.

3. Klaviyo improvements

Many ecommerce merchants use Klaviyo for their email marketing. To allow you to manage and automate your referral emails in Klaviyo, we are improving our Klaviyo integration. Let us know below if you have any specific feedback on our Klaviyo integration.

If you are not using Klaviyo with ReferralCandy yet, here's how you can set it up.

4. Multi-language text fix

Previously, merchants who enabled multiple languages for their referral program had issues saving edits to their text. This has been fixed. 

Upgraded referral detection

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)

Coupon codes for subscription products

Do you use Recharge to apply coupon codes for your subscription product? We've partnered up with Recharge to also support merchants who've upgraded to Recharge's Shopify Checkout Integration 🧙🏼

With this feature, your customers and advocates can now use the coupon code generated on Recharge or Shopify checkout for their subscriptions purchase. No more glitches upon migration!
