Sidekick writes it — you put it live

Sidekick produces the content or code for this, but doesn't apply it to your store itself. You'll paste or publish the result yourself — the prompt tells Sidekick to explain exactly where it goes.

Create a referral campaign for my Shopify store:

Referral Program Structure:

  Referrer gets: $[15] off next order (or [15]% off)
  Referred friend gets: $[10] off first order (or [10]% off)
  Minimum purchase requirement: $[50]


How It Works:

  Customer gets unique referral link from order confirmation or account page
  Friend clicks link and shops with auto-applied discount
  After friend’s order is fulfilled, referrer receives reward via email
  No limit on referrals (or cap at [10] per month)


Promotion Strategy:

  Add “Refer a Friend” link to:
    
      Order confirmation email
      Customer account page
      Post-purchase thank you page
      Email signature / footer
    
  
  Social sharing buttons (WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Copy Link)


Email Templates:

  Referral invitation email (for referrer to send)
  Welcome email to referred friend
  Reward notification to referrer
  Reminder: “You have unused referral rewards”


Tracking:

  Unique discount codes per referrer
  Dashboard showing: referrals sent, completed, revenue generated
  Fraud prevention: different email/address required


Recommend the best Shopify referral app and provide all copy needed.

Note: unique per-referrer links and automated dual-sided fulfillment need a dedicated referral app — this prompt gives you the strategy and copy to configure inside that app, not something Sidekick sets up natively.
