Frequently asked questions

Is there a free plan, or do I have to pay from day one?

There is no permanent free plan. ReferralCandy offers a 7-day free trial on all paid plans. Paid plans start at $39/month (Basic, with a 10.5% success fee on referral sales), $79/month (Grow, 3.5% fee), and $249/month (Scale, 1.5% fee). The success-fee model means you pay more only when you generate more referral revenue.

How long does setup take — can I do it without a developer?

Setup is designed to be self-serve and developer-free. The app is fully embedded into your Shopify store theme using app blocks and extensions, and most merchants report getting their first campaign live within minutes. The support team is also known for proactively reaching out to guide new users through onboarding.

Does it work with Klaviyo, ReCharge, and my other tools?

Yes. ReferralCandy integrates natively with Klaviyo (via a one-click connection updated in April 2025), ReCharge, Loop, Skio, Awtomic, Bold, Appstle, and all Shopify subscription apps. It also extends into Shopify Checkout and Customer Accounts, and supports 20+ additional third-party app connections.

What kinds of rewards can I offer my referrers and affiliates?

You can offer custom coupon codes, store credits, cash payouts (via PayPal), free products, and fully custom rewards. The app also supports tiered reward structures for both referral and affiliate programs, so top performers can be incentivized with escalating benefits.

What do other merchants say about the support team?

The support team is frequently described as responsive and proactive, with merchants noting quick resolution times via live chat. With a 4.9-star rating across 1,453 Shopify App Store reviews (90% are 5 stars), praise for the support team is one of the most consistently mentioned highlights. A small number of negative reviews cite billing confusion after uninstalling, so it's worth formally cancelling your subscription rather than just uninstalling.

How does it protect me against referral fraud?

ReferralCandy includes built-in automatic fraud detection that identifies and bans fraudulent referral activity. It also alerts merchants when referral codes are leaked on coupon sites. These fraud protection features are included on every plan at no extra cost.

Does it work for international or multi-language stores?

Yes. The app supports displaying marketing assets (emails, landing pages, widgets) in up to 12 languages, including German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. The app listing notes it currently supports English and Spanish within the Shopify admin interface itself.
