How does the referral program work?
Your invite link is under «Referrals» in the dashboard menu. When someone creates an account with it —with their email or with Google— and then subscribes to any paid plan, you both get 500 extra tokens. There's no limit on invites; your own link doesn't count and each person counts only once. Just signing up doesn't give tokens.
Where your link is
In the dashboard, open «Referrals» in the menu; you can also get there from Pricing, with «Invite friends». There you'll find your code, 8 letters and numbers, and your link: archinode.studio?ref= followed by your code. It's the same link for all your invites.
«Copy link» copies it so you can paste it into a chat or an email. On your phone you also get «Share», which opens your phone's apps to send it.
How your invitee signs up
- They open your link. It takes them to the Archinode home page with your code in the address.
- They create the account from that page. They press «Get Started» and choose «Continue with Google» or «Continue with Email».
- They sign in for the first time. When they sign in, your code is applied and the account is recorded as your referral. No tokens yet: those come when they subscribe.
- With their email
- The form shows «Referral code applied» with your code. Then they get an email to confirm the account. The code is saved with the account and applied when they confirm it, even if they open the email link in another browser or on their phone.
- With Google
- The code is kept in their browser while Google asks for permission, and it's applied when they come back to Archinode. With Google the code notice isn't shown, but the code still goes through.
When the reward is paid
Signing up doesn't give extra tokens: your invitee starts on the free trial, like any new account. The reward comes when they subscribe to any paid plan for the first time. As soon as the payment is confirmed, you both get 500 tokens, along with the tokens of their plan. There's no deadline: they can subscribe the same day or months later. You get them whether or not you're on a paid plan.
It's paid only once per person. Renewing, changing plans or buying extra tokens doesn't pay it again, and neither does cancelling and subscribing again. For each different person who subscribes you earn 500 tokens, with no limit on invites.
They're extra tokens, like the ones you buy: they're kept apart from your plan's tokens, used after them, don't expire and are still there at every renewal.
Your numbers
At the bottom of the Referrals screen you'll see three numbers. They're numbers, not names: the screen doesn't show who signed up with your link.
- Referred
- The people who created their account with your link, whether they subscribed or not. Someone who signed up with their email shows up once they confirm the account.
- Subscribed
- The ones who have already subscribed to a paid plan. You got 500 tokens for each of them.
- Tokens earned
- The total tokens your referrals have earned you.
Special cases
- Your own link
- If you sign in to your account with your own link, nothing happens: an account can't refer itself.
- An account that already has a referral
- Each account has only one referral: the first one applied. Opening someone else's link later doesn't change it.
- They signed up without your link
- The code only travels with the sign-up: there's no field to enter it later. If you think your code wasn't applied, write to us from the support chat.
- The link arrived cut off or with another code
- The account is created anyway, without a referral, and no error is shown. To make sure it arrives whole, share it with «Copy link» or «Share».
- The connection failed when signing in
- The code isn't lost: it stays saved and is tried again the next time the app is opened.
- Duplicate accounts
- Invites are for other people. We may remove tokens obtained with duplicate accounts (Terms of Service, section 7).
