How does the referral code/process work?

[plusone-nick]

Is it all within a cookie? or is there a step in the signup/subscription process where the code is entered? I am going to be helping somebody with their setup and since I have not been through the process in some time I am curious how it works.

I presume so. After visiting my referral link https://www.cloudron.io/?refcode=5adcafc820c53c3d on a vanilla browser there are 2 cookies stored.

Yes it will be stored and picked up from the cookie

Thanks @jdaviescoates & @nebulon - when is the code applied? During account creation or sub purchase?

[nebulon]

The code is used while subscribing and once the payment succeeds the credits are applied.
