Good Example:

Bad Example:

if you use this link and make a purchase before the offer expires...

Setup Process ​

Sharing Attempt Limits ​

To prevent abuse, the system automatically limits sharing attempts from the same IP address for certain methods.

Limited Methods:

  • Email
  • WhatsApp
  • Viber
  • Signal
  • Telegram

How It Works:

  • System tracks shares by IP address
  • Excessive sharing from same IP is blocked

  • Prevents spam and abuse

Not Limited:

  • Twitter/X
  • Share via Link

Summary ​

Sharing Options give your Advocates multiple ways to spread the word about your store. By enabling various channels and customizing messages for each, you make it easy for customers to share in the way that feels most natural to them, whether that's through social media, messaging apps, or direct email.
