Referral Candy & Affiliate

App wont complete the account set-up process upon installation - just gets stuck on the Referral Candy website.

Derek was awesome in helping explain the app. We will most likely install but as we grow there are some limitations that will make it obsolete and cumbersome for us.

Terrible deal for store owners. On top of the $50/month, they take 5% commission on the next THREE orders for each referred customer (it's in the fine print). Say your average order value is $100. You'll pay them $15 for each referral. Why would I do this when there are plenty of apps that charge a flat rate of $50/month. Or when I can pay FB ads $5 to acquire a new customer? You'll also have to factor in the cost of referral discounts (assuming 10% coupons for referred and referrer, $100 AOV, that's another $20 in cost. Your app looks well thought out, but please reconsider your revenue model.

Another developer posting lies and false information to get people to install their app.

How this started, I emailed them inquiring about how they help stores with making sales, as in the app description they mention they brought a suppliment company from $0 in sales to $10,000 in sales, in one month.

THIS IS A LIE!

They explained that for their app to work, your store needs to be making sales every day, then Referral Candy works off those customers.
Now this seemed weird considering they claim to have taken a store from $0 in sales to $10,000 just after installing their app.

A BLANTENT LIE!!

They even confirmed this with me by ceasing communication when asked about it how they did it if the store had no sales.

AVOID THIS COMPANY!

The app was easy to set up and we were up and running in no time. We were impressed at how quickly word-of-mouth spread as soon as we started with the service, bringing us thousands in new sales so far. Would definitely recommend this.

The Ignite app is a fundamental part of our referral strategy for 2011. The Anafore team has been incredibly response to our needs and I'm fascinated and excited by what we've achieved so far using this simple to deploy system. I look forward to continuing to optimize our program and growing its efficacy throughout the year.

This app works great for spreading the word about our store. Zach at Customer Support is also quick to answer any queries I had. I would recommend it! It's helped sales for our store!

This app is quick to use. I think it has a lot of potential if there's a dedicated resource in your company to monitor the progress/performance of this app.

ReferralCandy is easy to use and super sleek. We love the clean design and feel of the app itself but also the emails being send out to our costumers.

We aren't missing any features. The app does what it is supposed to do.

We have been using the app for over a month now and are still confident about it but need more time to figure out what incentives really work for our costumers.

A minimum of $15 is a bit hefty when compared to the overall price of Shopify itself and also if you need more than one month to figure out the proper incentives. A different price for companies based outside the US would also be appreciated.

Would we recommend the app? Even though we are still waiting for the big hike in sales to happen its the best referral app we have tried out so far and are confident we can make it work.

This is a great app for anyone wanting a "Tell a friend about us and get (x) discount" offer for their store. Simply create your offer with Shopify discount engine, then let Referral Candy do the rest. It's really that easy! I had our referral program up and running in just a few minutes.
