Turn active members into a trusted customer acquisition channel
Give active members a personal referral link, then reward them when a friend joins your membership or makes their first store purchase.
A simple referral journey
An eligible member copies their personal link.
A friend joins the membership or makes their first store purchase.
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 or first-time buyers 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.
Two conversion goals
Count an eligible membership signup or the friend's first-ever paid store purchase.
Controlled qualification
Membership rewards can wait for payment. First-purchase rewards use a 14-day review period.
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 conversion goal and set the reward. Only active members in the selected tiers receive links.
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.
One first-purchase reward
Shopify order history is checked, and later purchases by the same customer do not earn another reward.
Conservative retries
Known failures retry safely. Ambiguous store-credit outcomes pause for review instead of risking double credit.
