We just migrated our Referral Candy program over to Shopify from another platform and Derek was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. He literally made it seamless for us, and was always quick to reply if we had any questions along the way. Would definitely recommend!

Update: We've been using RC for several years on auto-pilot but I wanted to make better use of it so I wrote in for help. Katherine was AMAZING! She went above and beyond, was quick to reply, and offered valuable solutions to help me with my next steps.

This company has GREAT customer service, which is important because you really don't want to be left in the dark when it comes to something as important as a customer referral program. Our support person, Tippy, is super dedicated, he responds within 1-3 minutes normally (which is fantastic), he even met with me via Google Meet during his lunch break to go over the settings on our page. Could not be happier with their performance so far.

We will update this review as we get more acquainted with the company, but so far they're excellent.

ReferralCandy is great! I've been using it for a long time on our WooCommerce-based store but am now migrating over to Shopify. While building our new store, I needed help with a weird issue (that turned out to be caused by another app) and Karen walked me through what to check. Without her help I wouldn't have even thought to look in the other app's settings to see what it was adding to each page.

ReferralCandy is an easy way to let customers become advocates, and it works great for us... and pays for itself very very quickly. Thanks!!

We use this ReferalCandy to manage our referal system, and we're quite pleased with the way it's set up. Especially considering it provides integrations with other services that we use, as well as an API that we do interact with. Not only that, but they also provide a good customer support, where they respond quickly, and they inform us about any new breaking changes that happen on their end or Shopify's end, like recently where we got a helpful heads up from Cris about a recent change in the platform, where he made sure we stay cerrectly setup.

We required a unique integration with Referral Candy & ReCharge so the setup was quite challenging but Derek was an amazing help! Not only did he reply to emails almost instantly, he suggested strategic workarounds and improvements to implement on our app and I could not have been more happier than to work with him. He made our complex integration a seamless experience and even took it upon himself to work with the ReCharge customer service team to smooth out any issues that occurred - Highly recommend Referral Candy for their amazing customer service!

I have JUST installed the app, so I have yet to see results. So, I cannot offer a review on the app, however I would like to offer a review on Jon, who was the representative who assisted me. Jon was very friendly and accommodating, and answered my questions directly and clearly. As a matter of fact, I realized I had another question after we hung up, and I am hoping I can reach Jon again directly, since he was so helpful the first time. Thank you again and I look forward to watching my business grow using Referral Candy. Thanks again, Margi Mason, Mrs. Mason's Co.

Referral Candy was recommended to me by a trusted friend who works for a multi-$million wine company that uses it with great success. I just started an account today, but so far I’m 5-star pleased with the customer support (live chat). Jessa was very prompt and helpful in advising us on our very particular, not-so-straightforward needs. As I begin to set things up, the platform is proving to be streamlined and intuitive. Happy with their resources as well: the "How It Works" video is very helpful. So far, so good! Looking forward to launching our first referral campaign.

So far the app has integrated well with our Shopify store and Mailchimp customer list. With private browsing and new privacy software on devices, it seems that our only hiccups to completely automating the referral process are mostly a result of customers privacy preferences on their devices. Even with this, I was put in contact with Jon and shown how to match referrals to the correct advocates so that everyone receives their rewards properly. Within our first email campaign announcing the referral program, we have already seen new customers come from our existing customer base - it's a great win-win for everyone.

We have been using this app for awhile and there is one major item we believe it is missing... there NO way to "Approve" a referral. We have made a request to add an "Approve" option to other options: Delete, Void, and Ban, but we were told, an "Approve option is currently not in place within the dashboard, but this is something I can raise to our design team" ... without an "Approve" option, even after we review a referral it will continue to show "pending review" since there is no way to "Approve" a referral... this appears to be a major omission to us. If an "Approve" option is added we will revise our rating...

Hey Bob, thank you for your review, and for using us for over a year.

We're sorry that this crucial feature is lacking.
We're redesigning the way transactions are handled (suspicious or otherwise), and we're building a Fraud Centre to make it easier for retailers to manage.

We hope you'll give us a chance in the future as well, thank you. --Darren F.

We have been searching for a referral program for awhile and ended up with RC. After logging in on my own I was having issues navigating and building out all our communications and understanding the integration. Thankfully I used the "chat" option and Karen popped up as my saving grace! She was concise, friendly, and SUPER easy to work with and walked me through everything without ever making me feel like my questions were stupid. Thanks to her we were able to build out quickly versus what would have taken me days while I explored. Highly recommend working with their service team to get you up and running quickly!
