Commerce platform integration
Approve ReferralCandy once inside your WordPress admin and your store is connected. From there, ReferralCandy creates a discount code for every advocate and every friend, records the orders they bring in, and keeps those order values accurate when a customer is refunded. Your team sets the rules for the campaign, and the store applies them.
Approve once inside your WordPress admin. Nothing to copy and paste.
Why connect WooCommerce
Your commerce platform already holds the moments that make a referral program work: a completed purchase, a customer identity, an order value, and a relationship worth sharing. ReferralCandy connects those moments so your team can design the campaign and incentive while the integration carries purchase data into attribution and rewards, and sets up the discount codes the campaign hands out.
Enter your store address and approve ReferralCandy inside your own WordPress admin. From that moment, ReferralCandy can receive the purchase information it needs to register customers and detect referred orders.
Launch referral campaigns for existing customers and affiliate campaigns for creators or partners, each with its own audience, offer, and reward rules.
Personal referral links connect the introduction to the order. When an order is refunded or cancelled, the recorded value follows it down, so rewards stay tied to revenue the brand actually kept. Reward conditions and review periods give your team control before a reward becomes due.
What the connection does for you
The campaign rules you write are the rules your customers meet at checkout.
Connect
Enter your store address and approve ReferralCandy in your own WordPress admin. The connection is live from that moment.
If your hosting doesn’t support the one-click connection, or you aren’t an administrator on the store, you can still connect by entering the store’s access keys by hand.
An administrator account on the WordPress store, and a secure (https) store address.
Issue and revoke
Each advocate and each friend gets their own code, set up in the store the moment it is needed.
Percentage or fixed value off the cart, with the minimum spend, expiry, and usage limit you set on the campaign.
Ban a customer for fraud, remove them from a campaign, or replace their code, and the old one stops working in your store. Codes left behind by testing are cleared the same way.
Stay in sync
A payment confirmed minutes after checkout is still picked up, because your store reports the change as it occurs.
If a message is ever missed, a regular check finds the order and brings it in.
A partial refund reduces the recorded order value by that amount. A full refund, or a cancelled order, takes it to zero.

Start with the integration you already run, then shape the campaign, reward, and message around the relationships your brand has earned.
How it works
The integration connects the order lifecycle in WooCommerce with the advocate lifecycle in ReferralCandy.
Enter your store address and approve ReferralCandy inside your WordPress admin. An administrator on the store can approve the connection in one step, on any secure (https) store address.
Choose referral or affiliate, define the target audience, and set the reward and friend offer that fit your economics.
Enrollment turns eligible contacts into advocates or affiliates and gives each person a link that can be shared across email, messaging, social, or a portal, and their own discount code in the store.
When a referred friend buys, the store connection sends the purchase to ReferralCandy for attribution, eligibility review, reporting, and reward delivery.
Commerce operations
The store connection is the foundation. Above it, your growth team can change the audience, offer, creative, and campaign timing as the brand learns what motivates customers to share.
Approving ReferralCandy inside WordPress lets your store report orders as they happen, and lets ReferralCandy set up and withdraw discount codes in return.
Customize campaign emails, hosted pages, signup surfaces, sharing messages, colors, typography, and the referral subdomain.
Set purchase thresholds, eligible orders, review timing, and reward conditions so the campaign follows the same commercial rules as the store. When someone leaves the program or their code is replaced, the discount stops working at the store.
Who it is for
Use this integration when the program needs to connect to real WooCommerce purchases and remain manageable by the team after launch.
Questions, answered
Marketing overview first. When you are ready to configure the integration, the technical guide has the exact settings.
No. The new WooCommerce integration connects to your store directly, so there is no plugin to install or maintain. Merchants already running the plugin carry on as they are until they connect their store through the new flow.
ReferralCandy sets up a code in your store for each advocate and each friend, at the moment it is needed. Each code carries the discount, minimum spend, and expiry you set on the campaign, and appears in your WooCommerce coupon list like any other.
Yes. If you ban a customer for fraud, remove them from a campaign, or replace their code, the old code stops working in your store.
The recorded order value follows the refund. A partial refund reduces it by exactly that amount, and several partial refunds add up. A full refund, or a cancelled order, takes the value to zero.
Merchants on the plugin-based setup stay on it until they connect their store through the new flow. It is a one-way change: once a store is connected the new way, it does not go back to the plugin setup. If you would like help moving across, talk to our team.
