We've been using Referral Candy for quite some time now, and it's been a fantastic experience. The platform is easy to use, reliable, and has been a great solution for managing our affiliate and referral programs. Recently, we ran into an issue with our account, and Eunice from the Customer Success team was incredibly helpful. She stayed with us throughout the entire process, followed up consistently, and worked closely with us until everything was fully resolved. The level of customer service we received was outstanding quick, professional, and genuinely committed to helping us succeed. We highly recommend Referral Candy to any business looking to launch or grow a referral program. Not only is the platform excellent, but their support team, especially Eunice! She goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience.
I’ve had a great overall experience with ReferralCandy. The platform has been easy to navigate and simple to set up, which made getting started really smooth. I did run into a few issues along the way, but Eunice Sarmiento has been amazing to deal with. Eunice responded quickly, was very helpful, and solved all of my problems without any stress. I really appreciate the support and would definitely recommend ReferralCandy to other businesses looking to set up a referral program.
Absolute gun support - 10/10. Needed different commissions for stickers and apparel, with a cap at 3 sales per referred customer. Roj from ReferralCandy nailed it with a clean tiered campaign: 12% on the first sale, then 15% on sales 2 & 3. Explained everything clearly and dropped a quick Loom walkthrough so I could follow along. Super responsive, no fluff, genuinely helpful. If you’re running Shopify affiliate/referral programs, this is the one. Campaign launching now and I’m stoked. Highly recommend.
Amazing service from Charlie at Referral Candy - we had a small error (that was our fault) and Charlie was able to resolve it smoothly and efficiently.
Charlie was just a great help!! Answered all my questions so quickly and helped me with our configuration. Easiest platform yet
Jessa was really nice and helpful! We had a great chat and was quick in her responses! We figured it out fast and easy! :)
Jessa was very helpful thank you! sorted out my problem
We've had an excellent experience with ReferralCandy's support team. A special thanks to Riz Abenojar and Charlie Sosmena, who have been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient throughout our interactions.
