Turn your Shopify customers into your best channel.
LeadBounty is a referral program platform that connects to your Shopify store. Import your Shopify customers with one click, and new customers created in your store after that are added automatically, so your customer base powers your word-of-mouth growth.
Free plan to start · No credit card required
Paid ads get more expensive every quarter, but a happy Shopify customer telling a friend costs nothing. A referral program makes that word of mouth repeatable: every customer who has already bought from you becomes a channel, with their own link and a reward they actually want. LeadBounty adds that layer on top of the Shopify store you already run.
Build your campaign, connect your store, press one button to import your customer list, and LeadBounty adds new customers automatically as they are created in your store. There are no exports and no spreadsheets. It fits shops that sell online and in person: a referred friend claims their gift through the advocate’s link, and your staff confirm it face to face with a QR scan. The reward is tied to a real customer, not a coupon code that leaks across the internet.
The experience stays simple for everyone. An advocate shares a personal link by text, email or social media. The friend who opens it claims a welcome gift and joins with just a name and email, no storefront account required. Your dashboard then shows the whole picture: who referred whom, which rewards were claimed, and which customers bring in the most new business. You can lean into what is working instead of guessing which campaign paid off.

How to connect Shopify to LeadBounty.
- 1 Create your account
Sign up for free at leadbounty.io. No credit card is needed. Then customize your branding, so the referral emails and pages match your store rather than ours.
- 2 Build and publish your campaign
Create a campaign and design the offer. Set a welcome reward for a referred friend, then add milestone rewards that unlock as an advocate refers more, such as free products, store credit or a gift card. Publish it when you are happy with it, so it is ready before you invite anyone.
- 3 Connect Shopify
Connecting uses the LeadBounty custom app, so it needs to be installed on your store first. If it is not, email info@leadbounty.io and we will help. Then open Integrations from the menu, find Shopify and choose Activate. Enter your shop domain, for example my-brand.myshopify.com, and choose Connect with Shopify. Shopify asks you to approve read access to your customers. It is an official OAuth connection, so your admin password is never shared.
- 4 Import your customers and send welcome emails
Back in Integrations, open Shopify with Configure and press Sync now to import your existing customers. Then go to Customers, select the people you want to invite, and choose Send Welcome Email from the Actions menu. Each advocate gets a personal referral link and a page that tracks their progress. You only import once: new customers created in your store after that are added automatically.
- 5 Confirm redemptions
A referred friend claims their gift through the advocate’s link and shows the QR code on their phone. Your staff scan it with the LeadBounty Scanner in the browser on any phone, the gift is marked as redeemed, and the referral is credited to the advocate.

You can start on the free plan with no credit card. Paid plans raise the limits on customers, campaigns and SMS; the current prices are on our pricing page.
LeadBounty removes its connection and stops adding new Shopify customers. The customers already imported, your campaigns and your referral history stay intact, and you can reconnect at any time.
Yes. LeadBounty rewards are set up in LeadBounty and confirmed by referral link and QR scan, so they sit beside the discounts and promotions you already run in Shopify without interfering with them.
