Invite User Settings

The following needs to be set up when you’re using UA.

Information Page

The function enables you to set up an information page shown to a user when he or she clicks the UA invitation link. Depending on whether or not UA reward is set, the appropriate information page should be exposed. The information page type only sets the type of the information page, not the actual reward payment, so you must set the reward status and the information page type in the same way in the UA campaign.

Since the information page with rewards contains the guide for receiving rewards, if you do not use the UA reward function and only use the invitation URL creation function, set the information page type to “No reward”.

  • If you set it as “No reward” and set reward in the UA campaign settings, the reward will be paid normally.
  • If you set it as “Offers reward” and don’t set reward in the UA campaign settings, the reward will not be paid.
