About

Grow your sales through word-of-mouth marketing! Reward your customers for referrals and watch the sales and shares roll in. ReferralCandy connects instantly with popular ecommerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento) or choose custom API and advanced integrations. ReferralCandy also integrates with other marketing tools such as AdRoll, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, ReCharge, Fomo or Chargebee and many others.

Why Extole is Better than ReferralCandy

While ReferralCandy is a cloud-based referral and affiliate tool for Shopify-centric SMB ecommerce, Extole is an enterprise offer management platform built for brands that require configurable programs and deep integrations. Extole connects with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), CDPs, marketing automation (Braze, Klaviyo), ecommerce platforms, core banking systems (Alkami, Q2, Jack Henry), and analytics tools. Its platform is optimized for developers, providing open APIs, SDKs for web and mobile, custom events, sandbox environments, and MCP access. Enterprise fraud prevention includes device fingerprinting, IP intelligence, velocity controls, and event-based reward holds—backed by ISO 27001 and GDPR/CCPA compliance. For brands needing advanced segmentation, A/B testing, and multi-program flexibility beyond standard referral templates, Extole delivers the configurability and integration depth that SMB-focused tools are not built to provide.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • It was really easy to setup, the team was very responsive and we are able to have a custom API integration with little effort.
  • I have only been using Extole for almost a year after being transferred and I worked with two amazing CSMs who have been helping me navigate around and share insights regarding our program. They are very responsive and really helpful even on short notice/ urgent changes!
  • Straightforward integration; developer-friendly options; flexible customization; excellent technical support.
  • Great guidance and support from onboarding through program optimizations. Customizable programs and capabilities.
  • Extole provides amazing services to our brand, diligently and proactively making recommendations and working to provide the ultimate experience for Refer a Friend for our websites.
  • Extole had our refer-a-friend program set up in just a few days. Their customer service and tech team are first-class. We love how their support team continues to suggest ways to improve conversions and they have been willing to A/B test ideas to make sure we are going with the best option. Their refer-a-friend program is completely seamless and it requires very little effort to run after the initial setup is complete.
  • Extole is such an easy way to enhance our customer engagement and increase site traffic. We've participated in their refer-a-friend program for years and they are always quick to point out ways to tweak and augment what is already a great offering.
  • -Proactive in offering solutions -Helps with a lot of the heavy lifting, where possible of course. -Flexible team with flexible solutions.
  • I have always enjoyed working with Extole on launching new programs and maintaining them. They are great at being responsive, as well as making it as streamlined as possible to bring campaigns to launch.
  • The tool is extremely user-friendly and is easy to familiarize yourself with. Similarly, the program is reliable and more or less runs itself - you don't have to be constantly hands on with it from a day-to-day perspective.
