ReferralCandy auto-generates the coupon codes for you in your Shopify Discounts after each successful referral. The steps below are the same whether you're setting up the coupon as your advocate reward or your friend offer.
Tip: To identify who a ReferralCandy-generated code belongs to (friend offer vs advocate reward), see [Shopify] Find who a ReferralCandy discount code belongs to.
Set up the coupon
From your Shopify admin, open ReferralCandy and go to Campaigns. Select your campaign, then open Advocate reward or Friend offer.
Open the reward tier you want to set up and click Edit reward settings.
Select An amount off coupon.
Set the discount value (a fixed amount or a percentage), an optional minimum order requirement, and the coupon expiry.
Under Product collections, choose whether the coupon works on all your products, only selected products, or only selected collections — see below.
Optionally set up discount combinations and subscription-app support — see below.
Click Save.
Limit the coupon to specific products or collections
You can limit the coupon to specific products or collections, or leave it usable across your whole store. Under Product collections you choose which of your products the coupon can be used on — despite the section name, you can pick individual products as well as collections:
All Shopify products (default) — the coupon works on anything in your store.
Selected products — the coupon only works on the products you choose. Click Select products to pick them. If a product has variants, you can select a single variant, such as one size or color.
Selected collections — the coupon only works on products in the collections you choose.
This works the same whether the coupon is your friend offer or your advocate reward. If you want referred friends to get their discount on one specific product, choose Selected products and pick that product.
Discount combinations
In the Combinations section, choose which discount types your coupon can stack with at checkout: Product discounts, Order discounts, and Shipping discounts. This applies to new coupons created after you save — it doesn't change codes already issued. Learn more about Shopify discount combinations.
Subscription apps
If you use a Shopify subscription app, turn on Enable coupon for subscription apps so your coupon works on subscription products. Learn more in [Shopify] Using coupon on products managed by subscription apps.
