What is a Shopify referral program?
It is a program where your existing customers bring you new ones. Each customer gets a personal link. When a friend buys through that link, both people get a reward. You pay only after the sale.
How does the Yuko referral program work?
Every customer gets their own link automatically. They share it on WhatsApp, email, Facebook or X. The friend lands on a page you choose and gets a reward at their first checkout. Yuko then pays your customer once the order qualifies.
What rewards can I give the referrer?
Points, store credit, an amount discount, a percentage off, free shipping or a free product. Most merchants pick points, because they feed the loyalty program you already run.
What can the friend get?
The friend gets a discount: an amount off, a percentage off, free shipping or a free product. It applies at their first checkout.
How does Yuko stop referral fraud?
Yuko blocks self-referrals by matching email, IP and device. It rejects throwaway email addresses using your blacklist. It also limits how many referrals come from one IP or device. You can ask for a minimum spend, and cap how many friends one customer earns rewards for.
Where do customers find their referral link?
In the Shopify customer account, on your rewards page and in the floating launcher. You can add a dedicated page too. The widget shows their link, one-click share buttons and how many referrals they have made.
Do customers have to sign up to take part?
No. Every customer gets a link automatically. You can switch to manual sign-up if you have a legal or brand reason to make people opt in.
Can I see what referrals are worth?
Yes. Yuko writes UTM parameters onto referral links, so referral traffic and orders appear in your analytics alongside your other channels.
Do referral points mix with loyalty points?
Yes. Referrals and loyalty run in the same app and share one customer record. Points from a referral land in the balance customers already have.
Does it work with my email tool?
Yes. Yuko sends the referral emails itself. It also fires referral events into Klaviyo, so you can build the flows there instead.
How much does a Shopify referral program cost?
Yuko Advanced is $30 a month and includes 300 orders, then $5 for each additional 100 orders. Growth is $199 a month with unlimited orders. Referrals, loyalty, VIP tiers and memberships are all in the same app.
