Shopify Referral Program Integration
Add a native referral program to your Shopify store. A paid order approves the referral and enrolls the customer automatically, then rewards them with discount codes or cash.

What You Can Do with Shopify
Connect your Shopify store to Referral Rock referral software with a native integration, currently in open beta. Connect your store over OAuth, and Customer Feed does the rest: a paid order automatically approves the matching referral across all your programs and can enroll the customer as a member. Prefer on-site capture? Our conversion-tracking snippet is still available, and Shopify discount codes work as rewards.
How the Shopify Integration Works
Connect your Shopify store over OAuth
Connect Shopify natively by authorizing Referral Rock to read your store's orders over OAuth. One connection per store, no Zapier required.
A paid order approves the referral
When an order reaches a paid status (financial_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 discount codes or cash
When a referred order comes in, rewards issue without any manual work: Shopify discount codes, store credit, cash payouts, or any custom incentive you choose.

Customer Feed: turn every paid Shopify order into an approved referral
Post-purchase is the highest-intent moment in e-commerce. The native connection reads paid orders directly, so the referral is approved and the customer enrolled the moment they buy, no manual reconciliation.
- A paid Shopify order sets the matching referral to Approved across every program it belongs to.
- The connection is one-way and read-only: Referral Rock reads paid-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 Shopify customers will actually use
Once enrolled, customers get their own referral dashboard, a branded, personal portal 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 in any email you send them.
- Participants can share their link directly to email, social, or text, wherever they're most comfortable.
- Activity notifications and reward updates keep your best referrers engaged and sharing over time, not just once.
Reward with whatever works for your store
Referral Rock's flexible reward builder supports the incentive structures that actually move the needle for e-commerce brands.
- Offer Shopify discount codes as referral rewards, automatically generated and delivered when a referral converts.
- Reward both the referrer and the friend (dual-sided rewards) to give new customers a reason to buy and existing customers a reason to share.
- 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 conversion-tracking snippet remains available for capturing conversions directly on your store.
- Drop the Referral.js snippet on your checkout or thank-you page to capture on-site conversions (a self-instrumented Conversion Tracking method).
- Use it alongside or instead of Customer Feed depending on how you want to attribute referred orders.
- Every Referral Rock customer gets a dedicated advisor to help you pick and configure the right approach.
