Set how many of a referred friend’s purchases count toward a reward for the advocate — we refer to these as rewardable purchases. You can choose to reward only the first purchase, every purchase, or a specific number of purchases per referred friend.


What “rewardable” means

A rewardable purchase is a purchase made by the referred friend that counts toward earning a reward for the advocate, according to your campaign settings.


Setting the number of rewardable purchases (per referred friend)

🧩 This setting applies individually to each referred friend — each referred friend has their own purchase count.

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

  2. Go to Referred purchase conditions. In the It's the friend's section, select one from the below options:

    • First purchase only (default and most common) – The advocate receives a reward only for the referred friend’s first purchase.

    • First X purchases – The advocate receives a reward for the first X purchases that the referred friend makes.

    • Every purchase - The advocate receives a reward for every purchase that the referred friend makes.

  3. Save the changes.

Note: ReferralCandy only charges the success fee on the first three (3) purchases that a referred friend makes through a referral link. Learn more
