You can offer a custom friend offer to give loyalty points, gift certificates, free gifts, memberships, or similar offers to referred friends through the Promo Link option.

For Shopify Merchants: The promo link feature is currently unavailable.

Note: You will have to fulfill these custom offers directly, as ReferralCandy is unable to do so on your behalf.

When the Referred Friend clicks the referral link, they will skip the Friend Landing Page (hosted by ReferralCandy) and will be redirected to the Promo Link URL (hosted by you) that you've set on the dashboard.

It is through the Promo Link that the referred friend will automatically receive the discount from clicking on the Advocate's referral link:

  1. Referred friend clicks the referral link (e.g. yourstore.refr.cc/ABCDEFG)

  2. The friend gets redirected (from http://go.referralcandy.com/share/ABCDEFG) to the page you’ve set (e.g. promo.yourstore.com?code=discount)

  3. An AIC param is appended to the destination URL (e.g. promo.yourstore.com?code=discount&aic=ABCDEFG)

  4. The friend completes the purchase and through the AIC param, and the system detects it’s a referred purchase.


Setting up the Promo Link

  1. Go to the Rewards section of your dashboard.

  2. Go to the Friend Reward tab and choose the Promo Link option.

  3. Input your promo link, a description, and the link expiry (optional).

  4. Click Save Reward.
