About this Product
Referral Program & Word-of-Mouth Engine is a custom Shopify app that ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports for your store — it is not an instant App Store download. After purchase we connect to your store via a Shopify OAuth flow with scoped access (read_customers, read_orders, write_discounts, write_price_rules), then tailor the referral logic to your products, themes, and reward economics.
Why Choose Referral Program & Word-of-Mouth Engine
Unique per-customer referral links and personal discount codes generated via the Admin GraphQL API (discountCodeBasicCreate / priceRuleCreate)
Dual-sided reward configuration — store credit, percentage/fixed discount, or fixed payout for the advocate plus a welcome offer for the referred friend
Order attribution through orders/create and orders/paid webhooks, recorded against the advocate in metafields
Fraud and self-referral detection: matching emails, shared payment/device fingerprints, IP/velocity checks, and a manual review queue before payout
Post-purchase referral prompts on the Shopify order-status (thank-you) page and in transactional emails
Referral leaderboard with ranks, tiers, and earned-reward totals
Every customer gets a unique referral link and a personal discount code generated through the Admin GraphQL API (discountCodeBasicCreate / priceRuleCreate). When a referred friend converts, an orders/create webhook fires into the app, which attributes the sale, validates it against fraud rules, and triggers dual-sided rewards — store credit, a discount, or a fixed payout for the advocate, and a welcome discount for the friend.
We persist referral state in customer and order metafields (namespace ecosire.referral) so your data lives inside your own Shopify store, not locked in a third-party silo. Post-purchase prompts appear on the order-status page and in transactional emails, asking happy buyers to share at their moment of highest satisfaction.
Fraud and self-referral detection flags matching emails, shared payment fingerprints, same-device signups, and velocity spikes before any reward is paid. A referral leaderboard and embeddable share widgets (email, WhatsApp, X, copy-link) ship as theme app extensions so nothing breaks on theme updates.
Because this is build-to-order, the reward structure, branding, email copy, and edge cases are configured for your business — and ECOSIRE handles the deployment, QA on your live theme, and post-launch support. Honest expectations: there is a delivery lead time, and the engagement is a real implementation, not a one-click install.

Who this is for
DTC brand founder chasing lower CAC
Paid acquisition costs keep climbing and the founder wants a self-funding growth channel. A referral engine turns loyal customers into a measurable, attributable acquisition source without raising ad spend.
Ecommerce / retention marketer
Owns lifecycle and loyalty and needs referral data living alongside customer records in Shopify, with post-purchase prompts and email flows they can reason about — not a black-box widget bolted on top.
Operations / finance lead guarding the discount budget
Wants dual-sided rewards that convert but is wary of self-referral abuse and discount stacking. Needs fraud detection, a payout review queue, and reward triggers tied to paid (not just placed) orders.

Frequently Asked Questions about Referral Program & Word-of-Mouth Engine
+How long does delivery take, and is this an instant App Store install?
This is build-to-order, not a one-click App Store download. After purchase we run a short scoping call, then build, install, and QA the app on your store. Typical delivery is about 3 to 4 weeks depending on how complex your reward rules, fraud requirements, and theme customizations are. We confirm a firm timeline in writing before work begins.
+What ongoing support and updates are included after launch?
Every build includes a post-launch support window covering bug fixes and configuration adjustments. Because the app runs on the Shopify Admin GraphQL API and theme app extensions, we keep it compatible as Shopify deprecates API versions. Beyond the included window, ECOSIRE offers optional support and maintenance retainers for new reward tiers, feature additions, and ongoing API-version upgrades.
+Where is my referral data stored — do I own it?
Yes. Referral relationships, attribution, and reward state are stored in customer and order metafields under the ecosire.referral namespace, inside your own Shopify store. You are not locked into a third-party platform, and the data stays with you if the engagement ends.
+How does the fraud and self-referral detection actually work?
Before any reward is paid, the app checks for self-referral signals — matching advocate/friend emails, shared payment or device fingerprints, same-IP signups, and abnormal referral velocity. Suspicious referrals are held in a manual review queue rather than auto-paid, and rewards can be configured to trigger only after an order is paid or after the return window closes.
+Will the share widgets and leaderboard break when I update my theme?
No. The share widgets and leaderboard ship as Shopify theme app extensions (app blocks), so they are added through the theme editor and persist across theme updates and Online Store 2.0 changes. They do not require hard-coded edits to your theme's Liquid that would be overwritten on update.
