Excellent app. And Riz provides first-class support. If you are lucky enough to get any true influencers on your site, this program can really explode your sales! Once set up, it's essentially on auto-pilot. Easy to maintain. That's a huge plus, as many apps require maintenance and supervision.

Overall the product is easy to use but very poor in execution. You have to create what seems like a million discount codes which clutter your shopify discounts area. You have a seperate tool to upload your look and feel which is archaic and not very intuitive. No gamification and little customisation on what is offered. Overall the product is very poor especially given the other products on the market.

We appreciate the feedback. Seriously.

I noticed you guys signed up again right after the first account was cancelled. We are very eager to make your ReferralCandy experience better the second time around.

In the meantime, let me go over some of the concerns raised in the review and see if that can help get things sorted:

"easy to use but poor in execution"
We work hard to simplify the process for most merchants regardless of size, but we understand how execution wise that it sometimes may not be the most optimized experience for the more larger sized merchants.

"millions of discount codes"
We have had this raised in the past, and we're looking at long term fixes with our product team. In the meantime, we do append prefixes to all our discount codes to allow you to easily filter out/in any ReferralCandy generated codes.

"Separate tool to update look and feel, feels archaic"
I'm with you on this. We have heard this before from other clients and we have been diligently getting our product folks to pay attention to this feedback

"No gamification"
We currently don’t offer a loyalty-type of program as we’re focused on referrals and have been for the past 10 years. Referrals differ from a loyalty program as referrals focus on getting your store new customers - less hoop jumping for your customers, just straight up rewards to successful referrals

I look forward to hearing back from you. My team and I will be ready to assist.

I saw a lot of articles on ecommerce blogs recommending Referral Candy and decided to give it a try. So far I like how easy it is to create a referral campaign: I chose my referral rewards, added some images to the email and pages, customized some text, activated the post purchase widget and launched it. The only thing I'd add to this is that I wish they had even more multi-language support, it would be better if they could add it.

I like the fact that it's now working pretty much by itself and my customers are being invited to join the program through email and popup. It's nice that it also integrates with other apps I already have installed on my store. I'm also thinking about maybe selling some of my products on subscriptions in the future so it's good to know that it integrates with many of the subscription apps on Shopify, as I haven't decided which one I'm going to be using yet.

The customer support team was also super helpful as I had a couple of questions while I was setting up the account, and they got back to me super quickly and was able to solve my doubts.
