Referral Candy is amazing! Easy setup, seamless integration, and automated referrals. Customizable campaigns and great analytics boosted my sales and customer engagement. Highly recommend!
This is such a great feedback. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experience with us.

I have tried most of the big decently-priced referral apps and this app seems to do almost everything I need. Other ones missed features, or had some things broken. Not everything is perfect in Referral Candy either, but so far seems the best one for my needs. The customer service is excellent and helps fast with the things you don't understand. Thanks Irene for help!
We are so happy to know that our app is the best fit for your business, and once again, thank you so much for providing this feedback.

Incredible Support from Kevin and the ReferralCandy Team!
We ran into a tricky situation migrating our ReferralCandy account from WooCommerce to Shopify. Our initial developer didn't set things up correctly, which left us with a lot of confusion. Fortunately, Kevin from the ReferralCandy team stepped in and, along with their engineering team, saved the day!
Kevin was incredibly responsive and patient throughout the process, helping us remove incorrect information and correctly migrate our existing account. Their dedication and expertise made what could have been a frustrating experience seamless.
Huge thanks to Kevin and the engineering team for going above and beyond. Highly recommend ReferralCandy not just for the product but for the outstanding support they provide!
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. We take pride on providing the best customer service which is why we really appreciate this review. Please know that we are one chat away whenever you need help. :)

Katherine worked diligently with me to solve several major issues. Referral Candy is absolutely wonderful. It does have many layers and sometimes may not be a genuine "out of the box" solution. But their customer support is always eager to help. I was frustrated several times but Katherine always kept me informed every step and I am grateful for her help as I was tempted to leave the platform several times. Glad I stayed as it really is a solid experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly my pleasure assisting you in resolving those issues. I'm thrilled to hear that despite the challenges you faced, you found Referral Candy to be a wonderful platform overall. :)

Overall the product is easy to use but very poor in execution. You have to create what seems like a million discount codes which clutter your shopify discounts area. You have a seperate tool to upload your look and feel which is archaic and not very intuitive. No gamification and little customisation on what is offered. Overall the product is very poor especially given the other products on the market.
We appreciate the feedback. Seriously.
I noticed you guys signed up again right after the first account was cancelled. We are very eager to make your ReferralCandy experience better the second time around.
In the meantime, let me go over some of the concerns raised in the review and see if that can help get things sorted:
"easy to use but poor in execution"
We work hard to simplify the process for most merchants regardless of size, but we understand how execution wise that it sometimes may not be the most optimized experience for the more larger sized merchants.
"millions of discount codes"
We have had this raised in the past, and we're looking at long term fixes with our product team. In the meantime, we do append prefixes to all our discount codes to allow you to easily filter out/in any ReferralCandy generated codes.
"Separate tool to update look and feel, feels archaic"
I'm with you on this. We have heard this before from other clients and we have been diligently getting our product folks to pay attention to this feedback
"No gamification"
We currently don’t offer a loyalty-type of program as we’re focused on referrals and have been for the past 10 years. Referrals differ from a loyalty program as referrals focus on getting your store new customers - less hoop jumping for your customers, just straight up rewards to successful referrals
I look forward to hearing back from you. My team and I will be ready to assist.

Installed Referral Candy to have a refer a friend program on our website and the installation process was straightforward and simple. Had a slight issue with the font but the support team helped us out almost immediately. Special thanks to JC from the support team who helped with some font issues we were having. The issue was escalated and response was given fast which helped to solve the issue without any delays.
Thank you so much and hope I was able to answer all your concerns. As always, feel free to reach out when you need assistance. :)

I'm in the process of setting up my first campaign with Referral Candy. Currently, some of the issues I've had will be solved with some planned updates they will be doing (right now, only one campaign can be active, and other non-active campaigns can't be edited while the campaign is active). Once this is solved, that will help. I chatted with Jon, and he was very helpful in providing direction for a "workaround" as well as alternative ways that I can solve the hiccups in the campaign set up. Thank you Jon.
Thank you so much for this helpful feedback. We have also raised your concern with our product team. Please do let us know if you need anything else and we will be glad to assist you. :)

We encountered an issue with our billing that would have been very costly for our company. We shared the issue with Lorraine, who was a joy to liaise with on the issue, and who helped us process a refund that was due to our own careless error. This 5 Star review is fully deserved for the honesty and understanding that Referral Candy has demonstrated, and we're not certain many companies these days would go this extra mile for its customers. Would definitely recommend this company and its app.
Please consider us again in the future should you need to run a referral campaign for your store. Thank you! :)
