Discount Code System

Discounts are cohort-based and assigned per-user during the server handshake. Each discount has a 7-day lifespan once assigned. The app checks codes are not expired and not already used before presenting them.

Code	Product Type	Cohort	Lifespan
SBF02	Subscription	IABCDEF	7 days
SBF03	Subscription	IP3WWYK	7 days
AID50, AID60	AI Credits	IABCDEF	7 days
CCF02 – CCF08	Custom Audio	Universal	7 days

Codes map to platform-specific discounted product IDs. Android uses Google Play Offers (e.g., offer ID "a-1" from code "SBF02"). iOS uses App Store Promotional Offers. AI credits and custom audio use separate product IDs with suffixes (e.g., ai_credits_4000_x2, x99enb_c1).

Referral System

User-to-User Referrals

$1 credit toward custom audio when referred user subscribes to premium.

Referral codes auto-generated on signup: format U + 6 alphanumeric chars (e.g., "U7KMP3Q"). One credit per referred user. Awarded automatically via DB trigger (handle_premium_subscription_referral).

Influencer Program

$2 cash payout per premium signup from their referral code.

Tracked via cohorts. HTTP POST to log-referral with user name, email, cohort code. Branded splash screen (5 seconds on app launch). Payout via Zelle or PayPal on request.

User shares referral code

↓

Friend signs up with code — referred_by set on profile via populate_referred_by trigger

↓

Friend subscribes to premium

↓

DB trigger fires — referrer earns credit ($1 user / $2 influencer)

Referral code validation: validate_referral_code edge function (no auth required) checks discount_codes table, then user_profile.referral_code. After signup, referral-code-user-signup attaches the code.

Share to Friends

Users can invite friends via the share dialog. Email invitations sent server-side through Resend API (max 10 per request). Share message includes referral code and app store links.

Supported Platforms

WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Email (Resend), SMS, generic share sheet

Features

Customizable messages with embedded referral code. Course-specific or generic invites. Optional promo image. Message preview with editing.

Purchase Validation

All purchases validated server-side via validate_purchase edge function. Receipts verified with respective app store before granting access.
