BigCommerce Referral Program Integration
Add a native referral program to your BigCommerce store. A completed order approves the referral and enrolls the customer automatically, then rewards them with coupons or cash.

What You Can Do with BigCommerce
BigCommerce gives you the infrastructure to build and scale a serious e-commerce business. Referral Rock referral software now plugs into it natively (a native integration currently in open beta). Connect your store over OAuth, and Customer Feed does the rest: a completed order approves the matching referral across all your programs and can enroll the customer as a member. The Referral.js conversion-tracking snippet remains available for on-site capture.
How the BigCommerce Integration Works
Connect your BigCommerce store over OAuth
Connect BigCommerce natively by authorizing Referral Rock to read your store's orders over OAuth. One connection, no Zapier and no manual webhook wiring required.
A completed order approves the referral
When a BigCommerce order reaches the Completed status (paid), Customer Feed matches the buyer and sets their referral to Approved across all of your programs automatically.
Enroll the customer as a member
Based on your account settings, the buyer can be preloaded as a member and receive a personalized invite with their unique sharing link, one click to start referring, no passwords.
Reward automatically with coupon codes or cash
When a referred order is completed, rewards issue without any manual work: BigCommerce coupon codes, store credit, cash payouts, or any custom incentive you configure.

Customer Feed: turn every completed BigCommerce order into an approved referral
Post-purchase is the best moment to ask for a referral. The native connection reads completed orders directly, so the referral is approved and the customer enrolled automatically, no manual reconciliation.
- A completed BigCommerce order sets the matching referral to Approved across every program it belongs to.
- The connection is one-way and read-only: Referral Rock reads order events and never writes to your store.
- Buyers can be preloaded as members automatically based on your account settings, so they enter the invite lifecycle without any manual work.
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
Referral Rock's reward builder gives you the flexibility enterprise merchants need while staying simple enough for smaller stores.
- Offer BigCommerce coupon codes as referral rewards, generated and delivered automatically when a referral converts.
- Reward both the referrer and the new customer (dual-sided rewards) to drive conversions from both sides.
- Mix reward types: cash, store credit, gift cards, or custom incentives, all configurable without code.
Prefer on-site capture? Conversion Tracking still works
The native Customer Feed is the recommended path, but the Referral.js event script remains available for capturing conversions directly on your store, including headless and API-first storefronts.
- Drop the Referral.js event script on your order confirmation page to capture on-site conversions (a self-instrumented Conversion Tracking method).
- Useful for headless BigCommerce builds where you want to attribute conversions from a custom storefront.
- Every Referral Rock customer gets a dedicated advisor to help you pick and configure the right approach.
