Turn plan customers into attributable advocates

Subscriptions integration
Create plan-specific referral incentives for PayWhirl
A recurring payment plan turns a single discount decision into a sequence of billing events. ReferralCandy helps PayWhirl merchants define that sequence before launch: first order, a fixed number of renewals, or an intentionally ongoing benefit.

Why connect PayWhirl
Make the term of the offer as clear as the value of the offer.
Customers notice the amount; merchants carry the duration. ReferralCandy puts both sides into the campaign configuration so the friend sees a compelling reason to begin and the business knows exactly how the code behaves on recurring PayWhirl orders.
Match the coupon to the payment path
Choose whether the amount-off code belongs on subscription purchases, regular purchases, or both.
Set the term before the first redemption
Use the cycle control to define the number of discounted recurring orders in advance.

- 4
Encode the term as cycles
Set 1 for the first order, a number through 99 for a fixed term, or 0 for every future cycle.
Term design
Avoid vague promises on recurring payments.
“Save on your subscription” can mean one order or a lifetime. The recurring-cycle limit turns that ambiguity into a concrete rule the team can communicate and support.
Discount the first payment
Use one cycle for a conventional welcome offer with a finite and easily understood cost.
Cover a defined run of renewals
Choose a fixed value when the offer is designed to support the friend through the early subscription period.
Make permanence explicit
Use 0 only when the customer promise and the margin model both support an indefinite recurring discount.
