We are SO tired of Shopify apps that send emails to our customers without warning us or asking for permission. This is yet another one. And for that reason we won't be using it. Only one day after signing up to try this app, it's already sent 324 welcome emails to our customers, and never notified us once or asked for our permission before doing so. It's flat out unacceptable. Uninstall.

NB: this review is from 2017, about a previous version of ReferralCandy Thank you for the feedback. Sending emails to your customers with no warning or permission obtained is a bad experience. It is unacceptable and I apologize that our app enabled that to happen. To make sure this doesn't happen again, we have ensured that ReferralCandy provides ample notification before emails are sent out when the account is activated. - Jaime R.

Great referral service. We've been using it for just over a month now $6500 revenue through referral. I assume that revenue should increase overtime since it seems to take time for referral to get spread out among all customers. Support was prompt and responsive. Overall great app.

We use this app on our medium sized ecommerce website. It does a good job for us. Edmund from ReferralCandy support reached out to me and asked if her can help us improve the performance and was able to provide me with a list of things we can do. Support is very easy to reach and they are happy to help.

I just got off the phone with a support rep named Karen and am literally switching my referral program from another one (ALMOST) solely based on the level of support. These referral programs are a little intimidating to get setup, as you want to make sure everything is good before going after affiliates, and Karen went over and beyond to explain and walk me through how everything would work. Had it not been for the call, I probably would have just played it safe and stayed with my existing service because I didn't want to have to "figure out" how to set everything up again. 5-Stars! Definitely looking forward to getting into the service and seeing the benefits!

ReferralCandy has generated so many incremental sales for us! The customer service is also super responsive and has been such a pleasure to work with. We don't have to create tickets and instead can email our rep directly. It's a wonderful thing.

John was amazing to work with! We had some issues with set up - which I think in part ended up being on my end with my computer - but, he stayed with me every step of the way until it was resolved! I'm looking forward to seeing this app in action!

Referral Candy is one of the easiest apps and would definitely recommend it. I got in touch with their customer support because there were things I didn't​understand and Karen helped me through it all. She was really patient and super prompt with her replies. Thanks a lot for all your help Karen! Good job guys!!

This is one of our biggest money makers and there is no doubt in our mind about it. They retain the 3 stars because the program for our clients definitely works and keeps people using the referral links. I am not sure if they have been bought out in the past year but their portal has just turned to hot garbage as well as their customer service. Do you like sitting at loading screens only for them to not show any information? Like to click buttons that just hang out for minutes? Do you like referrals asking why they were not paid last month and then Referral Candy saying they were even though they can't show you? Well then this may work great for you. We have contacted them regarding this many times and get a must be your computer problem type response basically. We have 300 mb internet and 5-6 computers that can not access it properly. Maybe they are not scaled for bigger businesses? We do have thousands of people using it and hundreds of referral orders coming through. Maybe it works great for a smaller business processing around a thousand orders a month but it is not kicking it for our application at all.

NB: This review is from 2016, about a previous version of ReferralCandy. Thank you for your feedback. We've taken it to heart and have improved. Our app was slow (we couldn't keep up with the rapid growth) and it must have had been frustrating. I'm sorry to have put you through that. We've since fixed it. Loading is much, much faster and we are able to handle running referral programs for enterprise retailers with ease. We hope to work with you again in the future! - Bryan B.
