The referral checkout extension is available only to Shopify. This enables Shopify merchants to easily embed a referral extension block on the "Thank you" page at checkout.

The referral extension block shows the referral link and sharing options for enrolled customers, or a referral signup form if the customer is unqualified to enroll in your campaign.


Using the referral extension app

Add the referral extension app

To add the referral extension app to your "Thank you" page:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Checkout.

  2. In the Configurations section, find the store associated with your referral program and click Customize.

  3. Click the Apps () tab in the sidebar.

  4. Find the Referral Extension app under Referral Candy and click the + icon. Under Add to, select Thank you. You can customize the order of the app on the "Thank you" page.

  5. Click Save.

For the instructions on how to install and add the referral extension to your Shopify checkout page, visit the article: Customizing your checkout configurations with apps.

Configure the referral extension

After the referral extension app is added, customize how and when the block appears on the "Thank you" page at checkout.

  1. From your Shopify admin, go the the Referral Candy app > Campaigns > Select your campaign. In the Promote campaign section, click Widgets.

  2. Find the Referral extension section and check Show this campaign's content.

  3. A popup warning appears letting you know that the referral extension will be enabled only for this campaign. Click Continue to proceed.

  4. Check Allow signup/waitlist for unqualified customers to show a signup form for contacts who are unqualified to enroll in your campaign. Wait for the changes to save.

Note: The referral extension can be enabled for only one live campaign at a time. Checking Show this campaign's content turns off the referral extension for your other campaigns.

Allow signup or waitlist for unqualified customers

When an unqualified contact signs up for the referral program via the referral extension, they are waitlisted in your campaign. To be enrolled, they must meet your campaign's segment criteria. Learn more
