This setting allows you to choose whether customers must create an account before redeeming their referral reward, helping you balance ease of participation with data collection goals.
⚙️ Where to Find This Setting
Go to Line Loyalty Dashboard → Referrals → Additional Settings.
You’ll see two options for referred friends:
Without creating an account
With creating an account
🧩 Option 1: Without Creating an Account
Recommended for:
Quick participation
Frictionless onboarding
New customer acquisition
When this option is enabled:
Referred friends can claim and use their reward immediately after clicking the referral link.
They don’t need to sign up or log into an account but they must need to enter the email to get the discount.
A Shopify discount code is generated and which they can apply to cart to get an instant discount on their next order.
💡 Example:
A referred friend clicks their friend’s referral link and receives $10 off their first order — without needing to create an account.

Once they create an account, they’ll automatically receive the reward in their loyalty dashboard.
