Embedding the referral widget
ReferralCandy app on Shopify
With Shopify 2.0, apps are no longer advised to use script-based widgets. Because of this, your referral widget snippet code won't appear in Shopify admin and must be requested from the ReferralCandy support team.
To enable the floating referral widget for Shopify merchants:
Contact us to get the code snippet for the referral widget.
On the Shopify Admin page, go to Online Store and click Themes.
Find your active theme and click Customize.
Click the three-dot menu and select Edit code.
In Layout, select theme.liquid and paste the code snippet at the bottom of the page.
Click Save. Visit your site to test if the widget is working.
Other platforms
On the ReferralCandy dashboard, go to Campaigns > Select your campaign.
Go to Widgets.
In the Referral Widget section, click Copy to copy the code snippet to your clipboard. The referral widget contains the
refcandy-poprocksscript.
Paste the code just before the
</body>on your store's page.Save the changes.
Note: Your campaign must be Live for the referral widget to appear.
Configuring the position of the widget

Switching the location
The widget is located at the lower right-hand side of the page by default. It is possible to move this to the lower left-hand side of the page by specifying the value of the data-location attribute to "left".
Changing the stack order (z-index)
If you have multiple banners or widgets on your store, you can set the z-index value of the referral widget to prevent site elements from overlapping.
For instance, if you have a GDPR consent banner that you want to appear on top of the widget, you can set the zIndex to a lower value.
