New: Tremendous payouts are now available in ReferralCandy

ReferralCandy now connects with Tremendous, so Shopify merchants can send cash rewards through a flexible, branded reward-claim experience. The integration is built for referral and affiliate campaigns where payout speed, recipient choice, and operational simplicity matter.

What merchants can do with the Tremendous integration

Send cash rewards automatically for referrals and affiliates

With Tremendous connected, merchants can select Tremendous as the cash payout method inside ReferralCandy campaigns. That applies to both referral campaigns and affiliate campaigns on Shopify.

This keeps reward delivery consistent as volume grows. It removes the manual work that tends to show up when a program moves from “testing” into “always-on.”

Turn payouts into a branded moment

Tremendous uses campaign templates to control what recipients see. Templates cover the reward options offered, the email content, and the claim page experience. Merchants can customize colors, add a logo, and include a message that matches their brand voice.

That makes the payout feel like part of the program, not a separate payment workflow.

Give recipients choice without adding complexity

Some recipients prefer gift cards. Others want something more flexible. Tremendous templates let merchants define the menu of reward options recipients can choose from. Merchants set this once, then the same reward experience applies across payouts.

With Tremendous, your customers and affiliates can choose from 2,500+ reward options across 230+ countries, including Virtual Visa, PayPal, Venmo, bank transfers, and popular gift cards like Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks.

For marketing teams, this changes the tradeoff. Reward flexibility usually adds process. Here, it stays packaged inside the payout experience.

Deliver rewards through a familiar channel

Tremendous can deliver rewards via email. Recipients get a message with a claim flow attached to it. That keeps the experience lightweight for the recipient and predictable for the merchant team running the program.

Why this matters for existing ReferralCandy clients

A cleaner way to scale programs

As referral and affiliate programs mature, reward ops becomes one of the first bottlenecks. The Tremendous integration centralizes payout delivery into a single path that can handle higher volume without changing the program structure every time you grow.

A better experience for advocates and affiliates

Reward timing and clarity shape how people talk about a program. The Tremendous claim flow is designed around the recipient experience, with templates controlling the message, the landing page, and the reward selection in one place.

More room for campaign variety

Cash rewards tend to be used in specific moments: limited-time pushes, seasonal launches, influencer bursts, or “reactivation” campaigns aimed at past buyers. With Tremendous handling payout delivery, cash rewards become easier to use as a campaign lever instead of a special case.

Why this is useful for teams comparing platforms

Referral and affiliate tools often look similar at first glance. The differences show up in day-to-day execution: how quickly you can launch, how much manual effort sits behind reward delivery, and how the reward experience feels to the people earning it.

This integration is built around a simple expectation: a performance channel works best when the payout system does not become the work. Tremendous is designed for sending payouts and digital rewards at scale, and ReferralCandy is built around running referral and affiliate programs inside Shopify.

How it works at a high level

  • Merchant connects Tremendous to ReferralCandy in the integrations area.
  • Merchant selects Tremendous as the cash payout method inside referral and/or affiliate campaigns.
  • Merchant chooses a Tremendous campaign template to control reward options and the recipient experience.
  • ReferralCandy triggers payouts when rewards become due, and Tremendous delivers the reward through its claim flow.

ReferralCandy also supports selecting a Tremendous funding approach (for example, using account balance versus invoice-based funding) so teams can align payout behavior with internal finance preferences.

Availability

The Tremendous integration is currently available for Shopify merchants using ReferralCandy.

Can I use Tremendous for both referral rewards and affiliate commissions?

Yes. Merchants can enable Tremendous as the cash payout method inside ReferralCandy for referral campaigns and for affiliate campaigns on Shopify. This means one payout experience can support both customer referral rewards and affiliate commission payouts, with the reward selection and messaging controlled through your Tremendous template.

How do I control what recipients see and claim?

You choose a Tremendous campaign template that determines the reward options recipients can select, along with the content and branding of the reward email and claim experience.
