Shopify member referrals

Turn active members into your next membership growth channel

Give members a personal referral link, track new membership signups securely and automatically reward successful referrals with points or store credit.

A simple referral journey

1. Share

An eligible member copies their personal link.

2. Join

A friend purchases an eligible membership.

3. Reward

Memberply issues points or store credit automatically.

Referral growth

Reward the customers who already believe in your membership

Member referrals help merchants acquire new members through trusted recommendations while giving existing members another reason to stay engaged.

Personal referral links

Each eligible active member receives a shareable link tied to their membership account.

Secure attribution

Signed, shop-specific attribution follows the membership product into the Shopify order.

Flexible qualification

Reward on active membership or wait for the referred customer's first successful payment.

Automatic rewards

Choose fixed Memberply points or store credit in your store currency.

How it works

Configure one referral program across eligible membership tiers

Select who can refer, choose the reward and decide whether payment is required before the reward is issued.

Choose eligible tiers

Offer referral links only to active members in the tiers you select.

Pick points or credit

Set a fixed points reward or a fixed store-credit amount.

Use a 30-day window

The latest valid referral visit is remembered for 30 days.

See referral status

Track totals, pending rewards, completed rewards and items requiring review.

Built-in safeguards

Protect referral spend without making the member journey complicated

Memberply handles the security and duplicate controls behind the scenes while members share a normal product link.

No self-referrals

A member cannot earn a reward by referring their own customer account.

No duplicate rewards

A referred member and membership order can only be attributed once.

Conservative retries

Known failures retry safely. Ambiguous store-credit outcomes pause for review instead of risking double credit.

FAQ

Shopify member referral questions

What rewards can I offer?

When does a referral qualify?

Qualify when the customer becomes an active member, or optionally wait for their first successful membership payment.

How long is attribution retained?

Referral attribution lasts 30 days, and the latest valid link visited takes precedence.

Does it work with both customer account types?

Yes. Members can share links from Shopify customer accounts or Memberply's legacy member dashboard. Store credit uses Shopify native credit for new accounts and discount codes for legacy accounts.
