    Referral Program

    Earn extra credits by inviting friends and colleagues.

    1How the referral program works

    Earn extra credits by inviting other Shopify entrepreneurs:

    1. Share your unique referral code.
    2. When they create an account, you both receive credits.
    3. Credits are automatically added after activation.
    How the referral program works

    Real-world example

    Two webshops, two rounds of extra credits. G&F Verpakkingen shared the referral code with a fellow pallet cover supplier, who created an account for his own 80 products.

    Both accounts automatically received credits as soon as the new account was activated, with no extra steps.


    2Share your referral code

    Find your referral code on your profile page.

    • Format: PSHLY-XXXXX
    • Share via email, chat or social media.
    • Use the copy button for the direct link.
    Share your referral code

    Real-world example

    Code PSHLY-4F2K1 shared via email. The marketing employee at G&F Verpakkingen found the code on the profile page and sent the direct link to a fellow entrepreneur in the packaging industry.

    Using the copy button was faster than typing the code manually into a chat message.


    3Rewards: 50 credits (referrer) + 25 credits (new user)

    For a successful referral:

    • Referrer: 50 credits
    • New user: 25 credits

    No limit on the number of referrals.

    Rewards: 50 credits (referrer) + 25 credits (new user)

    Real-world example

    50 extra credits per successful signup. For G&F Verpakkingen, one successful referral generated enough credits to rewrite an entire pallet covers subcollection.

    The referral reward was put straight to use on extra content instead of sitting unused.


    4View progress & statistics

    View statistics on your profile page:

    • Total number of referrals
    • Status per referral
    • Total earned credits
    View progress & statistics

    Real-world example

    1 of 3 referrals still pending. On the progress page, G&F Verpakkingen could see exactly which invited contacts had already activated an account and which credits were therefore still on the way.

    That overview prevented confusion about which reward had or hadn't been credited yet.
