Which app can track customer referrals for my online store?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A store owner seeks an app to track customer referrals through discount codes rather than affiliate links. They want to:

  • Create unique discount codes for existing customers to share
  • Track which customer generated each new sale
  • Provide kickbacks/bonuses to referring customers

Several referral apps were suggested:

  • UpPromote Affiliate Marketing
  • ReferralCandy
  • Loyalty, Rewards & Referrals

However, these don’t meet the specific requirement. The owner prefers discount codes over affiliate links because:

  • Affiliate links appear suspicious and may be associated with fraud/hacking
  • Customers may forget to use the link during checkout, causing tracking issues

Status: No suitable app identified. The recommendation is to explore Shopify’s Partner Directory for custom app development solutions, as existing apps primarily use affiliate link tracking rather than discount code-based referral systems.

I want to offer my existing customers a kickback/bonus if they join a recruitment campaign and get new customers to shop in my online store. Are there some kind of app for this? For example, creates a discount code for new customers - who gives me an overview of which existing customer has contributed to the sale?

I’ve looked a at these apps, but I don’t think they do quite what I want.

What I want is an app that can create a discount code that can be used at checkout for each customer, not an affiliate link. I feel that this is to complicated and strange links are associated with fraud and hacking. And i anticipates that and customer forgets to enter via the link when making a purchase, so it only becomes a problems afterwards.

Is there a app to make a discount code for a customer and at the same time give a affiliate kickback?
