There are many ways to integrate ReferralCandy into your website and the type of integration you choose depends on your eCommerce platform and the level of customization you want.
Important: You should only use 1 integration type and you should not mix and match the integration steps.

Note: Email Integration does not require technical expertise, while Javascript Integration and API Integration do.
Integration Types
Email Integration (Most easily implemented in the short term)
If your eCommerce platform is listed on our Setup page, there will be more specific instructions but for most platforms the 2 basic steps are:
BCC ReferralCandy on the invoice email that is sent out to customers once the purchase is completed. View what needs to be in these emails
Insert a referral tracking code on the purchase completed page that your customer sees once they have completed a purchase on your site. View a sample of the code
Javascript Integration
Insert a purchase and referral tracking code that will require additional customer variables to be exposed on the purchase completed page of your checkout process
The availability of these customer variables on your checkout varies from platform to platform
There's also an option to enable the post-purchase popup as part of this integration
API Integration
Use the Purchase method of our API to send us the transaction information once the purchase is completed
Insert a referral tracking code on the purchase completed page that your customer sees once they have completed a purchase on your site. View a sample of the code
