Entering a creator's code
Saying who brought you to Friym — and why it can't be taken back.
When a creator introduced you to Friym, you can say so by entering their code. It takes one gesture, and it changes nothing about your account: "Enter their code so we know who brought you here."
The sheet comes up on its own, after you sign in
This isn't a setting you go looking for: no menu leads to it. A sheet slides up from the bottom of the screen just after you sign in, when Friym is expecting a code from you — including if you came in through Google or Apple.
"Were you invited by a creator?"
"Enter their code so we know who brought you here. It changes nothing about your account." · "3 to 10 characters, letters and digits."
It carries three buttons: "Submit code", "Later" and "Close".
Later is not a final no
While the window is open, the sheet comes back. It even shows how long you have left: "You have {n} more days to do it."
You have three days, and seven at the very most
Two durations overlap here, and both are counted from when your account was created — not from your last sign-in.
Three days: that's the window during which Friym asks you for the code and during which the sheet keeps coming back.
Seven days: that's the hard limit. Once an account is more than seven days old, it never sees this sheet again, whatever happens.
After that, there's no catching up
The sheet simply stops appearing, with no message, and nowhere else in the app lets you attach yourself to a creator. This isn't a setting you'll find in a menu later: there isn't one.
If a creator gave you their code, enter it the day you create your account.
The short window comes down to what the code is for: who brought you here. Three weeks after you arrive, nobody can verify that any more — not you, not the creator, not Friym.
The format
| Length | 3 to 10 characters |
| Characters | Letters A-Z and digits 0-9 |
| Constraint | At least one letter |
| Case | Doesn't matter — amina and AMINA are the same code |
| Spaces | Leading and trailing ones are ignored |
The four refusals
Two let you correct yourself, two close the sheet for good.
| What you read | What it means | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| "That code isn't valid: 3 to 10 letters and digits, with at least one letter." | The code is the wrong shape | The sheet lets you fix it |
| "No such code. Double-check the spelling with the creator." | No creator has that code | The sheet lets you fix it |
| "It is linked to {name}, and that is final: an account never changes creator." | You're already attached, and the other creator is named | The sheet closes |
| "A creator cannot refer themselves. Share it with other people instead." | It's your own code | The sheet closes |
The difference is deliberate: a typo can be corrected, an attachment already made can't be undone.
The link is permanent
"Once a code is accepted it cannot be changed. Check it before sending."
No screen lets you change it afterwards. Make sure you know whose code it is before you submit.
What doesn't exist in the app
This code is there to say who brought you here, and nothing else. There is no earnings screen, no status, no referral tracking anywhere in the app — neither for you nor for the creator.
If you're a creator and you have a question about what these referrals earn, write to support@friym.com: the answer isn't in the app.
Payouts for your sales are an entirely separate matter, and fully documented: see When do I get paid?.
