Change your admin email address, configure automated alerts, and update your account's password on the Profile page in ReferralCandy.


Update your account profile

Change profile and admin email address

The admin email address for your account is the email address that ReferralCandy sends administrative alerts or emails to such as invoice emails, coupon expiry alerts, and suspicious referral activity reports. This can be different from your login email address, which is the email address that you use to log in to your ReferralCandy account.

To change the profile's name and admin email address:

  1. From Shopify admin, go to the ReferralCandy app > Account > Profile.

  2. Update the first and last name.

  3. In the Admin email address field, enter the new admin email.

  4. Click Save.

Once the email address is updated, a verification email is sent to the new admin email address. Follow the steps in the email to complete the verification process.

Important: For security purposes, contact ReferralCandy using an email address that matches the domain of your account's login email address.


Manage automated alerts

You can enable or disable the following alert settings in your account:

  • Referred purchase is detected - Turn on to receive an alert each time a referred purchase is detected

  • Suspicious Referral Activity Weekly Report - Turn on to receive an alert if any suspicious referral activity occurred in the past week

The automated alerts are sent to the admin email address you set for your account. ReferralCandy will keep sending alerts related to the invoice email forwarding and JavaScript tracking code if the issue is not fixed in your account.

Note: To ensure your referral or affiliate program runs smoothly, ReferralCandy may reach out to you if the system detects issues with your account.


Can I add team members or have multiple admin logins to access one ReferralCandy account?

Multi-user access

Multi-user or staff access is possible for BigCommerce and Shopify merchants, as merchants can grant users access to the ReferralCandy app via these eCommerce platforms.

Multi-level access

ReferralCandy doesn't support multi-level access both in the web app and Shopify app. If you plan to share the account with multiple teammates, users are granted all access and permissions to the ReferralCandy account and its settings. It's encouraged that you share the account only with your store admins.

What's the difference between the login email address and admin email address?

The login email address is what you use to log in to the ReferralCandy dashboard. For Shopify merchants, the email address and password associated with your Shopify account serve as your login credentials. ReferralCandy sends performance reports and account-related emails to the login email address.

The admin email address is the email address that ReferralCandy sends administrative emails to, such as billing invoices, coupon code expiry updates, and automated alerts.

Can I use an admin email address different from the login email address?

Yes. You can set a different admin email address from your login email address. For example, the store owner's email address is used to log in to ReferralCandy and manage the account, and the billing admin's email address receives the administrative emails and billing invoices.
