Squarespace Adds ReferralCandy for Referral and Affiliate Programmes.

ReferralCandy is now available as a Squarespace extension, giving merchants a way to build referral and affiliate programmes around customer introductions.

The launch covers businesses selling products or services through Squarespace. Existing customers can introduce new people to the business, while merchants use ReferralCandy to organise a programme around those recommendations.

The LinkedIn announcement describes ReferralCandy as a Squarespace extension. That puts the integration within Squarespace’s extension ecosystem rather than presenting it as a separate website-building feature.

Squarespace already supports websites for online stores and service businesses. ReferralCandy adds another route for those businesses to attract customers: introductions from people who already know and like the business.

Merchants can build either a referral programme or an affiliate programme. Both formats are based on people introducing the business to potential customers. The extension is intended to help sellers create and manage those campaigns while continuing to use Squarespace for their products or services.

The update is focused on customer acquisition rather than site design. It does not change Squarespace templates, pages or checkout features. It adds ReferralCandy to the collection of extensions available to sellers using the platform.

For a product seller, the programme can sit alongside the existing online store. For a service business, it can support introductions from past customers or other people familiar with the business. In both cases, the stated aim is to turn recommendations into a structured source of new business.

The announcement explicitly includes both product and service sellers. That broadens the extension beyond conventional online retail and covers Squarespace businesses that use their sites to sell appointments, expertise or other services.

ReferralCandy is available now as a Squarespace extension. Sellers can use it to build programmes around customer or affiliate introductions without moving their main website away from Squarespace.
