So you have a Shopify store, and you’re looking to set up a referral program.

Setting up a referral program on Shopify using ReferralCandy is extremely easy.

There are 2 main ways you can do the setup, either:

You're finally ready to begin setting up your referral program and start getting those referrals (and revenue) to your Shopify store.

Of course, you'll still have to set the referral conditions, the rewards referral incentive, the referral emails and pages, and the referral widgets on your store.

Also, don't forget to promote your referral program to your existing customers to get greater reach and awareness—which helps bring more sales!

Good luck!
