Friendbuy integrates with Shopify, offering a seamless connection between its referral and loyalty programs and Shopify's platform. This integration facilitates several key functionalities:

  1. Referral Tracking and Widget Functionality: The integration enables tracking of referrals and the use of widgets on Shopify stores, enhancing the referral program's effectiveness.
  2. Automatic Coupon Generation: For referred friends, coupon codes are automatically generated, eliminating the need for manual code bank replenishments.
  3. Reward Validation: The integration includes out-of-the-box program integrity and business rules, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the referral program.
  4. Integration with Shopify's Checkout Pages: Friendbuy code is automatically injected into Shopify themes and checkout pages, enabling the display of referral and loyalty widgets as well as conversion tracking
