What RiffRoff is

RiffRoff runs Shopify referral programs that reward advocates with store credit for eligible referrals and offer friends an incentive on a first order. Advocates share short, store-branded links from their account or after checkout. Eligible friends receive private, expiring, single-use offers, while advocates become eligible for Shopify store credit after the paid order clears the merchant's configured hold period. Merchants can set discounts, rewards, minimum orders, expiry, hold periods, and review thresholds. At checkout, RiffRoff checks eligibility, blocks self-referrals and duplicate identities, and can pause uncertain activity for merchant review. Refunds and cancellations reverse pending or unearned rewards. The app works with Shopify Checkout and Customer accounts; merchants add Share & Earn and Refer a Friend blocks through Shopify's checkout and accounts editor. It is aimed at independent Shopify merchants. The Simple plan costs nothing plus a 12% success fee on eligible referral revenue, applied only to the first paid order. Plus costs $14 a month and has no success fee. Both plans include all referral features, and the maker says neither has a trial countdown.
