I use org-refile with ivy, so I might share. If I recall correctly, the
only thing that does not play well between the two is
`org-outline-path-complete-in-steps`. My basic setup is the following:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-refile-targets
'((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 6)
;; 'nil' means consider headings of the current buffer
(nil :maxlevel . 6)))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
#+end_src
That should get you started. I personally like org-refile for its
quickness, so I do some extra work to filter out candidates of this list
and keeping only the frequent targets (with
`org-refile-target-verify-function'). And if something atypical arises,
I just go with kill-yank.
Note however, on the relation of org-refile and ivy:
