Create a referral discount code and draft the email inviting top customers to share it with friends.

📋 Prompt
Run in Sidekick 
Help me set up a lightweight referral offer for my Shopify store at [STORE_URL]:


  Create a discount code [REFERRAL_CODE] giving [FRIEND_DISCOUNT] off a first purchase of at least $[MINIMUM_PURCHASE], for the referred friend to use.
  Create a segment of my top customers (by order count or lifetime spend) who I’ll invite to refer friends.
  Draft an email to that segment explaining the referral offer, with the code and a suggested share message they can forward.
  Draft a thank-you email I can send to a customer after I manually confirm their referral led to a sale, offering [REFERRER_REWARD] as their reward.


Note: this is a manual, code-sharing referral flow. Automated unique-per-customer referral links, cookie tracking, and fraud detection need a dedicated referral app (ReferralCandy, etc.) — Sidekick has no mechanism to build that tracking layer.

How to Use

  2. Open Shopify Sidekick in your Shopify admin
  3. Paste the prompt and replace the bracketed placeholders with your details
  4. Review Sidekick's response and apply the suggestions

Joy Loyalty

Sidekick can tag customers and issue discount codes, but Shopify has no native points ledger. Joy runs the points, tiers, and redemption side.
