Referral Candy & Affiliate

My business runs mostly on referrals, so ReferralCandy offered a way to increase sales.

Pros
- It runs itself. I have many things to think about but ReferralCandy pays out regularly without me having to log in AND it recruits for you by emailing customers about the opportunity to become a referrer.
- No setup. I just installed it and it worked.
- Flexible pricing. All the other equivalent apps (ie affiliate apps) have pricing that increases exponentially based on volume, making all of it outside of my price range (and they often aren't transparent with it either). ReferralCandy is perfectly priced and affordable. Also easy to cancel if needed.
- Great support. They are very active and helpful.
- Fairly customizable. You can change the email templates, add a referrer login to your website etc.
- They are developing new features.

Cons
- Currently they do not support "deep linking" (referrers sharing specific products) but the support has been communicating with me about this feature which is in development.
- Doesn't integrate too well with Google Analytics. All referrers links become a single source. You'd have to seperately log into ReferralCandy to see where you're referrers are coming from.
- It might be a little hard to test for the first time since you must make the referral order from a different computer than the one you created the referrer account.
- It's not an all out affiliate program, although extremely similar. It is simplified so doesn't have the same analytic features or affiliate marketplace. In many cases this is a plus because of ease of use.

Overall, I would highly recommend at least trying it. It works perfectly for us and we will continue to use it.

We had a few hiccups getting started with our Klaviyo integration but Jon was highly responsive and escalated the issue as appropriate. Looking forward to launching our referral program!

great app it's helping us a lot! the customer care is great they follow you step by step suggesting the best way to give the best services to the people 5 stars!

I had a little misunderstanding with Referral Candy but got it cleared up with some great customer service by Lorraine. She's got the right stuff, please promote her and give her a fat bonus.

The app is really great. It works great and has helped me increase my sales. I had some initial difficulties in connecting to the site, but the assistance immediately helped me to solve the problem and for this I thank the assistant Dwight who helped me.

I think it's the best product for doing a subscription referral program on ReCharge. Exactly what I was looking for. The support team is super helpful and responsive. Definitely would recommend it.

We are in the setup process now, but Derek from Customer Success has been a huge help in customizing our assets and creating a better brand experience. Although we haven't implemented the program yet, so far, so good with the support from ReferralCandy

Great customer service from Lorraine! Referral Candy is easy to use and integrates well with Shopify and other apps.

Derek was super helpful in answering some questions I had about the tool Thank you very much Derek :)

Unfortunately, finally we didn't work with them because we need a very picky process. But Dwight and all the Referral team has done an amazing job. we really hope that they can develop soon the solution that we need so we can start working together.
