You have the ability to set a minimum purchase amount to determine which purchases count towards rewards for the Advocate.

Tips for setting a minimum purchase amount

  • Set the minimum purchase amount to be as low as possible so it's easier for your Advocates to make referrals and earn rewards, thus building positive referral momentum.

  • If you're offering a cash reward, set the minimum purchase amount above the cash reward amount to prevent yourself from being out of pocket from each referral.


Changing the minimum purchase amount

Important: (Shopify merchants) When a referred purchase is fully refunded, ReferralCandy doesn't delete the purchase, but only modifies its amount to $0. You must set your minimum spend to at least $1 to avoid sending out rewards for refunded purchases.

To set the minimum purchase amount:

  1. Go to your campaign's Reward conditions page:

    • From the ReferralCandy dashboard, go to Campaigns > Select your campaign > Rewards > Reward Settings tab.

    • From your Shopify admin, go to Campaigns > Select your campaign. In the Set rewards section, click Reward conditions.

  2. Set the minimum spending amount:

    • On the ReferralCandy dashboard, enter the amount in the Minimum spending for reward eligibility field.

    • In Shopify admin, select Minimum spending amount in the Minimum spending for reward eligibility section and enter the amount.

  3. Set the required number of referral purchases before an Advocate gets a reward.

  4. Set the number of rewardable referred purchases that count toward an Advocate reward.

  5. Save the changes.

Note: The minimum spending amount set is exclusive of taxes, shipping fees, and the discount amount applied to the referred friend's purchase.
