Using ReferralCandy With Volusion

ReferralCandy harnesses the power of referral marketing and eCommerce trust building to drive new sales for your store! Setting up incentives for your customers to invite their friends and contacts to visit and purchase from your storefront can build consumer trust and grow your business.

�

By connecting with your Volusion store, ReferralCandy is able to automate referral campaigns to offer current customers an easy way to earn rewards simply by exercising their powerful peer influence!

�

Sign Up for ReferralCandy

To get started, visit www.referralcandy.com and select Volusion as your store's eCommerce platform. You'll need to enter some information, including your Volusion store's name and URL. Note that the email you sign up with will appear as the sender of all of your referral campaign emails, so you will want to use one of your store domain email addresses (and not a personal email).

ReferralCandy Account Setup

After you sign up for ReferralCandy, you'll be directed to complete the simple ReferralCandy setup wizard:

�

  1. On the Settings screen of the setup wizard, you can customize your referral campaign settings, including creating a unique coupon link.

  2. On the Logo screen, upload your store logo. The recommended dimensions are 150px wide by 50px tall.

  3. On the Discounts setup screen, fill in the discount information for your customers to give to their friends, and the discount information for your customers' rewards. Note that you will need to create these coupons within your Volusion Admin Area for them to be usable by customers. You can follow the instructions on the setup wizard page, or see "Creating a Coupon" below if you do not want to set up coupons during the setup process.

  4. On the Preview Themes screen, you can customize the themes for the initial referral invitation email, the coupon landing page that is sent to friends and contacts, and the reward email to thank your customers for referring their friends.

  5. On the Payment page, enter your credit card or PayPal account information for billing purposes. There is a 30-day free trial during which your card will not be charged. As pricing can be subject to change, you should check the ReferralCandy website for information about monthly and commission pricing.

You should follow the instructions on this screen at this time, but if you do not use those instructions at the time of setup, you can see "Integration With Your Volusion Store" below for details.
