How coupon codes are generated

Every successful share earns exactly one code. The shape is SHARE-XXXX-XXXX — two four-character segments drawn from a look-alike-safe alphabet (uppercase letters and digits, minus I, O, 0, and 1 so a sharer never confuses one character for another).

Uniqueness and single-use

• Every code is unique across your workspace. We retry generation on the (vanishingly rare) clash.
• Codes are single-use — once redeemed, they’re gone.
• Codes are bound to the sharer’s email. If they sign up with a different email, the code won’t apply.

What happens at issuance

• We pick the right reward tier from the sharer’s follower count.
• If a coupon provider (Stripe or Polar) is connected, we mint the coupon there with the right discount and single-use limit.
• If no provider is connected, we issue the code locally — the customer still gets it; you honor it manually at checkout.
• We send the code to the sharer’s email.
