ReferralCandy & Subscriptions for Shopify Checkout Integration

  • Updated

ReferralCandy integrates with Bold Subscriptions to allow you to turn your most loyal customers–your existing subscribers, into advocates for your business. With this integration, you can incentivize your subscribers to refer their friends in exchange for rewards.

Set up a referral program to give your existing subscribers a discount in return for sharing a coupon code with their friends, while friends of your existing subscribers get a discount on their first purchase.

Running a referral program on your subscription products is a great way to attract new customers and retain your existing ones.

 


 

Pricing

ReferralCandy comes with a 30 day free trial, and offers a variety of plans based on your company size and goals. Pricing is based on a monthly fee, plus commissions. You can save 20% if you choose yearly billing. For more information, please visit their pricing page.

 


 

Functionality

ReferralCandy uses Shopify’s APIs to generate Shopify discount codes for your referrals and existing customers.

There are multiple ways for an individual to get enrolled in your referral program as an advocate. You can create a signup page on your storefront, send an email invitation, or display a pop-up once your customer has completed their purchase.

An advocate will share their unique invite link with a friend. Once the referred friend makes a purchase, your advocate will receive their reward.

  • Advocate - An individual enrolled in your referral program
  • Referred friend - An individual referred by an advocate

Discounts can be set up any way you like. You can offer free shipping, a percentage discount, or a set amount off.

When integrated with Bold Subscriptions, you can create discounts that are valid for both subscriptions and one time purchases, or subscriptions only.

Existing subscribers can claim their reward by applying the discount code to their subscription in the customer portal.
