page hosted?
 Referral corner pages are hosted entirely by
Referral Candy and included as part of the
Referral Candy service.
26
1.6. What is a Referral Corner
Signup Page?
 Each Referral Candy account comes with a Referral
Corner Signup link that you can place on your
website.
 This link allows visitors to your website to sign up for
their own Referral Corner and take part in your
referral program even if they haven’t yet made a
purchase from your store.
 The Signup Page also allows those with existing
Referral Corner accounts to sign into their account to
manage their referrals.

(https://my.referralcandy.com/settings).

29
30
1.7. What can customers do if they
don't log in to their referral corner?
 If ACME’s customers don’t log into their referral
corner using their Facebook account, they would still
be able to:
 Access their referral coupon link to share in emails and
online chats.
 Use the social sharing panel to post their referral coupon
link on social networking sites.
 Regardless of whether they log in, the referral corner
page will remain a permanent place for your
customers to come back anytime they want to check
on their referrals and recommend your store.
31
STEP 2: GET
CONNECTED
32
2.1. Is the referral coupon link
unique to each customer?
 Yes, Referral Candy generates unique referral
coupon links for each customer who is invited to
ACME’s referral campaign. With unique links, our
app is able to detect when your customers share the
links through email or social networking sites.
33
2.2. Can the referral coupon link be
customized?
 Yes, the referral coupon link can be customized. We'll
use this referral coupon link as an illustration:
http://acmetoys.refr.cc/6RMQQWP
 The first part of the referral coupon link
(http://acmetoys.refr.cc/) is derived from your Vanity
URL. The sub-domain portion (e.g. 'acmetoys') of the
Vanity URL can be changed.
 To do so, log into your Referral Candy dashboard and go
to your settings page
(https://my.referralcandy.com/settings). On the settings
page, go to the 'Vanity URL' field and enter a new sub-
domain. Click 'Update Settings' to save the changes
34
35
2.3. Do you track email and social
media sharing?
 Yes, the Referral Candy app automatically tracks
email and social media sharing and gives detailed
analytics about your campaign at both the campaign
and customer level. You can access these analytics
from your campaign dashboard.
 Campaign level analytics
 Referral invites sent to your customers
 Invites read by your customers
 Friends your customers have forwarded invites to
(through email and social networks)
 Clicks your online store receives through the referral
campaign
 New sales that you receive through referrals
36
37
 You also have insight on:
 The most influential customer who brought you the most
referrals sales
 The social network that your customers shared most on
 The biggest supporter of your store who shared the
referral coupon link with the largest number of friends
38
39
 Customer level analytics
 From the campaign dashboard, you can also drill down
to learn about an individual customer's sharing
behavior. For each customer, you can find out:
 How many friends the customer shared the referral
coupon link with
 Which social network the customer shared your referral
coupon on
 Which of the customer's referred friends made a
purchase at your store
40
41
STEP 3: MAKE A SELL
42
3.1. What incentives can be given
out to customer's friends?
 For your referral program, you need to give out an
incentive to your customer's friends. This incentive
can be:
 A coupon that gives a percentage discount for the
friend’s next purchase
 A coupon that gives a fixed cash discount for the
friend’s next purchase
 You also have the option of setting an expiry date for
your coupon code in the Referral Candy campaign
dashboard.
43
 For Etsy shops who use our Etsy-plugin, the Referral
Candy app handles friend coupon code
management for you automatically.
 For your referral program, you need to give out an
incentive to your customer's friends. This friend
incentive is in the form of a coupon code that gives a
discount off the friend's next purchase. You can
customize the percentage discount that you'd like to
use for your campaign's friend incentive.
44
45
 Each time a customer is sent a referral email, a
unique coupon code will be created by our app for
the customer to give out to his/her friends. These
coupon codes are automatically created by the
Referral Candy app and you do not have
to manually create them yourself.
 Each friend incentive coupon code that is created
will expire in 21 days. When these coupon codes
expire, the Referral Candy app will automatically
delete them for you. You do not have to manually
delete the coupon codes from your Etsy admin panel
46
3.2. What happens when the
referral coupon expires?
 When your customers' friends click the referral
coupon link, they are brought to a coupon landing
page with a coupon code for them to use at your
store. If the coupon has expired, the landing page
will display a message to let them know that the
coupon has expired.
47
48
3.3. Can the coupon landing page
be customized?
 To customize the coupon landing page for your
referral campaign:
1. Go to your ReferralCandy account's campaign page
at https://my.referralcandy.com/campaigns.

right of the page.
49
50
 On the 'Edit Templates' page:
3. Click the 'Coupon landing page' tab.
4. Click the orange 'edit' button.
51
52
 Once you've clicked the 'edit' button, the template
will become editable and the 'edit' button will change
to a blue 'save' button. To change and save the
template:
5. Customize the text on the coupon landing page as
needed.
6. Click the blue 'save' button to save the changes to
your template.
7. When you're done, click the orange 'Update emails'
button at the bottom of the page to save all your
changes.
53
54
3.4. Are successful referrals
detected automatically?
 Yes, once set up, the Referral Candy app monitors and
detects successful referrals automatically.
 Each customer's referral corner contains a unique
referral coupon link that they can share with their
friends. This link, combined with the java-script tracking
code placed on your purchase completed page and the
invoice emails copied to us, enables the tracking of
successful referrals.
 For platforms with specific plugins (Shopify, Etsy and
Amazon Webstore), the Referral Candy app obtains
information directly from the platforms. The unique
referral coupon link together with the information
55
3.5. How can coupon code misuse
be prevented?
 You can prevent coupon misuse by setting an expiry date for
your discount coupons. You can then periodically change the
coupon codes that are used in your campaigns. Discount
coupon amounts should also be set in a way that you still
benefit from every purchase made.
 If your e-commerce platform supports it, you can also
prevent coupon misuse by limiting the use of referral
coupons to new customers only. This can be done by
checking the email address of the customer against your
database of past customers. If it happens to be an existing
customer, display a message on the checkout screen
indicating that the referral coupon only applies to new
customers and that a smaller discount amount will be applied
instead.
 This usage restriction should also be stated clearly in the
referral invite emails and landing pages that customers and
their friends see so that they are not surprised by it during
56
STEP 4: REWARD
57
4.1. What rewards can be given
out to customers?
 For your referral program, you can choose to reward customers who
make successful referrals with either cash rewards, single-use
coupon rewards, or multiple-use coupon rewards.
 If you choose to give out cash rewards, your customers will be rewarded
each time they make a successful referral that results in a purchase. Cash
rewards can be of the following types:
 A fixed cash amount (e.g. $10 for each referral made)
 A percentage of the referred friend's purchase (e.g. 5% of referred friend's
purchase for each referral made)
 PayPal - the reward will be sent directly to your customer's PayPal account
by Referral Candy
 Delivery of the cash rewards is handled by the Referral Candy app
automatically and can be through these channels:
 Donation to charity - the reward will be donated by Referral Candy to
a charity chosen by your customer
 If you select more than one channel, your customers will have a
choice of any of the selected channels when claiming their reward.
58
59
 Single-use coupon code rewards
 If you choose to reward customers with single-use coupon
codes, your customers will be rewarded each time they make a
successful referral that results in a purchase. Any single-use
coupon codes that your store accepts during checkout can be used
as a referral reward.
 Delivery of the single-use coupon code reward is handled
automatically by the Referral Candy app. The app sends the
customer an email alerting them of their eligibility for the reward
when a successful referral has been made. The customer can then
access the single-use coupon codes from their Referral Corner.
 To use single-use coupon codes as referral rewards, you will need
to upload a list of single-use coupon codes into your
campaign. Each code that you upload will be given out only once
as a reward. If you run out of single-use coupon codes to be given
out as rewards, you would need to upload more single-use coupon
60
61
 Multiple-use coupon code rewards
 If you choose to reward customers with multiple-use
coupon codes, your customers will be rewarded only for
the first successful referral that they make. Any multiple-
use coupon code that your store accepts during
checkout can be used as a referral reward.
 Delivery of the multiple-use coupon code reward is
handled automatically by the Referral Candy app. The
app sends the customer an email alerting them of their
eligibility for the reward when a successful referral has
been made. The customer can then access the multiple-
use coupon code from their Referral Corner.
62
63
Etsy plugin: What rewards can be
given out to customers?
 For Etsy shops who use our Etsy plugin, the Referral Candy
app handles reward coupon code management for you
automatically.
 Etsy shops can reward customers who make successful
referrals with unique coupon code rewards. You can
customize the percentage discount that you'd like to use for
your campaign's referral rewards.
 Reward coupon codes will be automatically created by our
app and sent to customers every time they make a
successful referral. You do not have to manually create
coupon codes in your Etsy admin panel.
 These reward coupon codes can only be used once, and
when the coupon codes are used by your customers, the app
will detect this and automatically delete them for you. You do
64
65
4.2. How are cash rewards and
donations paid out?
 The Referral Candy app will handle payment of cash
rewards to customers and donations to charity. Cash
rewards will automatically be paid out to customers
through PayPal and donations will be made to the
chosen charities after you have been billed for the
cost of the cash rewards each month.
66
4.3. When will rewards be sent to
the customer?
 Once a successful referral has been detected by our app, an
email will be sent out to let the customer know that he or she
is eligible for a reward. The referral reward is delivered either
immediately or with a delay depending on the type of reward:
 For cash rewards (through PayPal or donations) - Cash rewards
will only be paid out after our app has successfully billed you for
the cost of the cash rewards due to your customers. Billing will
happen once a month, together with your monthly usage charges.
Any rewards due to your customers (either via PayPal or a
donation made on their behalf) will be paid out after you have been
charged.
 For coupon rewards (both single-use and multiple-use coupon
code rewards) - Coupon rewards will be sent out immediately.
Upon detection of a successful referral, a reward email will be sent
to your customers to inform them of the reward. Your customers
can then access the (single-use or multiple-use) coupon code from
