For brands · Customer referrals
Let your buyers bring their friends.
Each buyer gets a link and a code of their own. A friend who orders for the first time gets your offer, the buyer gets a reward, and rules refuse the rewards nobody earned.
Free to start, with rewards paid in store credit on every plan; a referred order carries $4 on a hundred-dollar order on Free. Paid plans start with Essential, at $29 a month. What it costs
What your customers see
Their link, their friend's code and what they have earned so far.

- Friends who ordered
- 3
- Waiting on their first order
- 1
- Store credit earned
- $42.60
Right after they order, a buyer gets their own link and a code for a friend, with buttons to share them by message or email.
Their page, in your design, shows every friend who ordered and the credit they earned, and they can ask about a friend's order that did not show up.
Is it for your store?
- It fits
- A store with happy buyers who would tell a friend, and a first-order offer worth passing on.
- You need
- A connected store; friend codes are made on Shopify and through the WooCommerce plugin, or handed out from a list of codes you paste.
- It is not for
- Paying creators or publishers for the sales they bring; that is the affiliate program.
How it works
Choose the reward
A share of the friend's order or a fixed amount, paid in store credit, or in cash from Growth ($199 a month).
Choose the friend's offer
A percentage off, an amount off or free shipping, with a minimum first order.
Set a monthly cap
How many rewarded referrals one buyer may have in a month, and whether their link pauses there.
Design the page
One of twelve looks, with your own header, steps, pictures and questions on the page every referrer opens.
Buyers get their link
On the thank-you page where your platform shows it, or in one email after the order if you switch that on.
A friend orders
Their code works once, and the order is checked against the rules before any reward is given.
Pay what they earned
On Shopify, store credit lands on the customer's own account in one click; for a cash reward you reach the buyer at the address they ordered with.
What you can set
- The reward
- A percentage of the friend's order or a fixed amount, in store credit on every plan and in cash from Growth ($199 a month).
- The friend's offer
- A percentage off, an amount off, free shipping or nothing, with a minimum first order.
- A monthly cap
- How many rewarded referrals one buyer may have in a month, and whether their link pauses at the cap.
- Where buyers are asked
- On the thank-you page, and by one email after the order if you switch it on.
- Codes on any platform
- Made on Shopify and through the WooCommerce plugin, or handed out from a list you paste.
- The page they open
- In one of twelve looks, with your own header, steps, pictures and questions.
- Rules before rewards
- Someone who already bought, the referrer's own order or their own address earns nothing, and the order says which rule stopped it.
What it costs
On every plan, paid in store credit. Cash rewards for referrers from Growth ($199 a month).
A referred order counts as an attributed sale, so it carries the plan's share as any order a creator brings: $4 on a hundred-dollar order on Free.
Free has no monthly price. Paid plans start at $29 a month and are free for 14 days, and a store on Shopify pays through its Shopify bill.
Questions
Short answers. If yours is not here, write to us and a person replies.
Who can refer a friend?
Any buyer you invite after an order. They need no account: their page opens from a link, or from their order number and the address they ordered with.
What stops someone gaming it?
A code works once and only for a new customer. An order from the referrer, from their own address, or past the monthly cap earns nothing, and says which rule stopped it.
How are rewards paid?
Store credit on every plan, made on Shopify in one click. Cash from Growth ($199 a month): you arrange it with the buyer at the email address they ordered with.
Can a referrer ask about a missing order?
Yes. From their page they can ask about a friend's order that did not show up, and you answer it beside the rest of your questions.
Does it work on my platform?
Codes are made on Shopify and through the WooCommerce plugin, and every other store pastes a list of its own codes. The thank-you invitation shows where the platform hands the order over.
Does it change my affiliate program?
No. It runs beside it, and the affiliate program works the same with it switched off.
The other programs
Every program runs from the same dashboard, so adding one later changes nothing you already run.
