What You Can Do with BigCommerce

BigCommerce gives you the infrastructure to build and scale a serious e-commerce business. Referral Rock plugs into that infrastructure, via Zapier or a direct API webhook, and turns your post-purchase moment into a referral engine. Whether you're on BigCommerce Essentials or Enterprise, our team has helped merchants like you get connected and growing.

Enroll customers automatically when a BigCommerce order is confirmed

Send personalized referral invites with one-click access links

Track which BigCommerce orders were referred and attribute them to the right customer

Give customers a personal referral portal to share their link and track rewards

How the BigCommerce Integration Works

Connect via Zapier, API webhook, or JavaScript snippet

Set up a Zap that fires when a BigCommerce order is created or status changes to trigger Referral Rock enrollment. For a tighter connection, use BigCommerce's native webhook system to POST order events directly to Referral Rock's API, or embed our JavaScript snippet on your order confirmation page to track conversions on the page itself.

Invite customers right after purchase

When an order is confirmed in BigCommerce, customers receive a personalized referral program invite. One click to start sharing, no account creation or passwords needed.

Track which orders were referred

Every referred BigCommerce order is attributed back to the customer who sent it. View referral revenue, top referrers, and program ROI in your Referral Rock dashboard.

Reward automatically with coupon codes or cash

When a referred order is confirmed, rewards issue without any manual work. BigCommerce coupon codes, store credit, cash payouts, or any custom incentive you configure.

Turn every BigCommerce order into a referral program enrollment

Post-purchase is the best moment to ask for a referral. Your customer just bought, they're happy, and they're most likely to tell someone. Referral Rock captures that moment automatically.

When a BigCommerce order is placed (or reaches a specified status), a Zapier trigger or webhook enrolls the customer in your referral program and sends a personalized invite.
Customers can start referring immediately, no login, no signup, just one click from their invite email or order confirmation page.
Add a referral CTA to your BigCommerce order confirmation email to capture customers while they're still engaged.

A member portal your BigCommerce customers will actually use

Once enrolled, customers get their own branded referral dashboard where they can share their link, track who they've referred, and check their reward status.

No passwords required. Customers access their portal via a personalized link, one click from any email.
Participants can share their link to email, social, or text from one place.
Reward and activity notifications keep your best referrers engaged over time.

Reward with whatever works for your store
