Extend the reach of your referral program by enabling coupon codes for subscription products managed by Shopify subscription apps. You can enable this feature for the Advocate reward and friend offer on one-time products, subscription products, or both.
To enable coupon codes for your subscription products, you must be using a third-party subscription app integrated with your Shopify store using Shopify’s Subscription API. Here's a non-exhaustive list of supported platforms:
Recharge Subscriptions
Seal Subscriptions
Skio Subscriptions
Bold Subscriptions
Loop Subscriptions
Note: It's recommended to directly integrate with your subscription platform first before proceeding. Manage your payment integration

Error: Your subscription app has been disconnected from Shopify
This error message means that your ReferralCandy account has lost connection to the subscription app integrated with your Shopify store.
Your referral program will still be active, but the coupon codes will work only on products not managed by the subscription app, regardless if they’re a subscription product or a one-time purchase.
If you removed the subscription app from your Shopify store, you may disregard the error message.
To resume using coupon codes for products using subscription apps:
Ensure that your third-party subscription app is connected to your Shopify store. Follow the instructions provided by the third-party app on website.
