It has only been a month since I've signed up so I really can't tell how well the system will work for my customers. However, what I do already know are the following:
1) The system was extremely easy to integrate into my Shopify store. No technical background required. Plus!
2) It was easy to set up and activate my referral champaign. Double Plus!
3) The text within the templates are customizable, unlike previous services I've used where customization was very limited. Triple Plus!
Bonus: If you do have coding experience there is so much more you can do to incorporate your referral process using referral candy into your sales process.
Overall, I'm very pleased thus far. I recommend Referral Candy!
Very helpful support! We were able to walk through the issues and resolutions easily. Thanks!
The App runs great and gives good reporting and follow up options. There are some slight tweaks that would needed but nothing that should reduce my star review. Customer service has also responded quickly and taken care of all my needs quickly as well.
Easy to work with the team. They are quick and responsive to your needs.
I was with Referral Candy for like ... 8 or so years. It was great that they handled the payments to my affiliates. But it was annoying that they took 3.75% off the first 3 sales of someone who was referred once, even if those 3 sales spanned across 8 years! And that they didn't have an option to create more than one referral level. And that they filled up my shopify with discount codes constantly, and badgered my affiliates without me really consenting to that - that is, they would email them to invite them, even after I had turned off that feature. I am annoyed that the referral alternative app I've chosen is not as easy to pay affiliates, but it has more features and is not sucking my blood or harassing my customers. ALSO! Its report of referral sales is very misleading! only on further research did I learn that some customers who have been customers for years, when they make a purchase, even if it's past their 3rd purchase, RC still counts this as a referred purchase. So, on someone's 7th purchase, they record this as a referred purchase - so those report emails I get make it seem like my referral app is working great, but in reality I just did a good job of keeping a customer that I got once through this app a LONG time ago.
Hey Jesse, we’ve been trying to contact you these last 2 weeks to try and resolve all the concerns you brought up. Since we haven't heard back, I wanted to try and address them here and perhaps have the opportunity to discuss them directly with you.
“..they took 3.75% off the first 3 sales of someone who was referred once, even if those 3 sales spanned across 8 years!”
- A referred customer is someone who may go on to continue purchasing from your store for life. We consider all their purchases as "referred" because they may not have followed through with their purchase without the incentive offered through the referral program. And from all those referred purchases we only charge commissions on the first three. More details can be found here (https://help.referralcandy.com/support/solutions/articles/47001056253-is-commission-charged-on-all-purchases-that-a-referred-friend-makes-)
“..they didn't have an option to create more than one referral level.”
I can see how having more flexibility in terms of rewards can be helpful, especially since you have thousands of affiliates. I’ll bring it up with the team.
“..badgered my affiliates without me really consenting to that - that is, they would email them to invite them, even after I had turned off that feature.”
Sending too many emails is definitely a bad experience, I apologize for the inconvenience this caused your customers. This is easily resolved by toggling the controls in the email settings page of your dashboard (https://help.referralcandy.com/support/solutions/articles/47001155651-email-settings) so I was hoping we could dig deeper into what happened.

This should not be the case. As mentioned previously, commission is only charged on the first three purchases that a referred friend makes. -- Jaime R.
Great customer support experience. Ines was wonderful at helping me resolve my issue quickly. Thank you Ines!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm always happy to assist. Feel free to reach out any time you need assistance. - Ines
Jon was extremely helpful, he took the time to tell me how to fix a major issue that was causing a ton of frustrating for us and our customers.
Katherine was very helpful and kind. I appreciate her quick and thorough assistance with our account.
I appreciate you taking the time to write us a review. I will make sure to let Katherine know. Have a great day!
we are using referral candy for a quite some time and had plenty of questions which Tippy have been resolved. I'm looking forward to using this platform in the months to come!
Though some of the features could be a little more fleshed out (HTML editor on the emails is very basic), this is a solid referral program with excellent support. My account manager Derek is knowledgable and always on chat to quickly answer questions and is also available by phone whenever I need it. Definitely recommend this plugin for a no-nonsense referral service.
