High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a referral program for my Shopify store?▼

Install ReferralCandy from the Shopify App Store, configure dual-sided rewards such as $10 store credit for referrers and 15% off for referees, set a $30 minimum order, and enable fraud settings like self-referral blocking and same-IP flagging.

What referral app works best for WooCommerce?▼

AffiliateWP is the WooCommerce-native option at $149 per year with fixed or percentage commissions and 30-day cookie attribution. ReferralCandy also offers a WooCommerce plugin for a simpler dual-sided setup with built-in fraud detection.

How do I prevent referral fraud and self-referrals?▼

Enable IP-based duplicate detection, flag conversions where referrer and referee share an IP or device fingerprint, delay referrer rewards by 7–14 days past the refund window, and cap monthly referrals per customer at 5–10.

How is the viral coefficient K-factor calculated for referrals?▼

K-factor equals share rate multiplied by conversion rate, where share rate is total referrers divided by total customers. A K-factor of 1.0 or higher indicates viral growth, 0.5 is strong, 0.2 is moderate, and below 0.2 is weak.

Should referrer rewards be store credit or discount codes?▼

Store credit is recommended for referrer rewards because it ties the referrer back to your brand and carries higher perceived value than a percentage discount. Referee rewards typically work better as an immediate first-order discount like 15% off.

Why is my referral program share rate low despite good rewards?▼

Low share rates usually come from friction, not weak incentives. Add pre-filled WhatsApp or SMS share buttons, show the referral widget on the post-purchase confirmation page, and include referral links in transactional emails.
