Predictable referral offers for RecurPay subscription growth
Recurring revenue is easier to plan when the incentive is predictable too. ReferralCandy lets RecurPay merchants define the amount, the eligible purchase type, and the exact number of billing cycles before a subscriber shares the offer with a friend.

Why connect RecurPay
Turn a customer recommendation into acquisition you can cost before launch.
A subscription referral can be generous without being open-ended. Use a personal link to attribute the introduction, an amount-off offer to convert the friend, and a recurring-cycle limit to calculate the maximum coupon exposure for each acquired subscriber.
Know the maximum discount duration
Choose a fixed cycle limit so finance and growth can model the full cost of the offer.
Know which advocate created the order
Personal referral links connect the recommendation to the referred purchase and the resulting reward.

How it works
Set up the RecurPay referral with the numbers visible
Build the offer from measurable inputs rather than applying a general store coupon to recurring products.
- 1
Choose the acquisition target
Identify the RecurPay plans or Shopify purchase types the campaign is meant to grow.
- 2
Create an amount-off offer
Configure the friend incentive, the advocate coupon reward, or both sides of the referral.
- 3
Turn on subscription eligibility
Enable coupons for subscription apps and select the appropriate product-type option.
- 4
Enter the billing-cycle limit
Use 1 for a first-order offer, 2–99 for a fixed sequence, or 0 only for an indefinite discount.
Predictable exposure
A recurring coupon should still have a calculable ceiling.
ReferralCandy separates the discount amount from its duration, giving the team two levers to tune acquisition cost without changing the RecurPay subscription itself.
Set the visible customer value
Use the amount-off reward type to make the friend or advocate benefit straightforward.
Choose where the coupon is valid
Align eligibility with the intended revenue: subscription products, one-time products, or both.
Multiply value by a known number of cycles
A fixed limit makes the maximum recurring discount per redemption easier to forecast.
Who it is for
For RecurPay merchants who want clean referral economics.
Use the integration when the team wants word-of-mouth acquisition but still needs a precise answer to where the coupon works and how long it lasts.
- ✓RecurPay teams forecasting offer cost
- ✓Subscription programs starting with first-order incentives
- ✓Merchants separating recurring and one-time eligibility
Questions, answered
RecurPay integration FAQ
Marketing overview first. When you are ready to configure the integration, the technical guide has the exact settings.
Is RecurPay included in ReferralCandy’s subscription coupon support?
Yes. RecurPay is listed among the Shopify subscription apps that can use the feature when connected through Shopify’s Subscription API.
Can I reward only the friend and not the advocate with a coupon?
Yes. Enable the amount-off coupon for the friend offer only, or configure both sides if the advocate should also receive a coupon.
What is the safest initial recurring-cycle value?
The default and recommended value is 1, which limits the discount to the first subscription order.
Can the RecurPay code apply to regular Shopify purchases too?
Yes. Choose one-time purchases only or the combined one-time and subscription option, depending on the campaign.
How should I validate the integration?
Make sure RecurPay remains connected to Shopify, confirm the coupon settings in ReferralCandy, and place a test order against an eligible selling plan.
