Invite link

What is cTrader Invite?

cTrader Invite is an all-in-one toolkit designed to help partners attract traders with appealing cTrader products and effectively convert them into referrals. Any cTrader link shared by partners attributes traders who click it, and they later become referrals in the broker's client area. The Invite app allows partners to generate invite links and QR codes, track invited traders' stats in real time, promote engaging products and set up a personal profile page that outperforms a traditional landing page.

Check our brochure with quick instructions for partners on how to set up cTrader Invite.

cTrader Invite streamlines the process of user attribution in broker-branded applications. The Invite link tab is designed to generate and share invite links in just a few taps. It allows partners to manage different invite links leading to specific products from the cTrader ecosystem.

Invite link in one minute!

  • Any cTrader URL that contains a special (u) parameter carrying a partner's username is an invite link.
  • Partners can physically demonstrate a QR code, copy an invite link to the clipboard or share it directly across preferred communication channels.
  • In addition to the basic invite link, the Invite link tab allows partners to generate and share product-specific invite links for algorithms, copy strategies and more.
  • Traders who click an invite link are attributed to the partner within cTrader and later recognised as referrals in the broker's system if both are synchronised.

All invite links, regardless of their type, contain a special (u) parameter carrying a partner's username. The presence of this parameter ensures that invited traders are accurately linked to their partner within cTrader.

When a trader clicks an invite link and creates a cTID (or uses an existing one), they become your invited trader unless previously invited by another partner. They may need to take an action on the platform (e.g., create a new account) to be redirected to the broker's website for registration and attribution. Depending on the attribution flow, this redirect may not be required.

If a cTrader URL includes a (u) parameter, it can attribute invited traders to the partner within the application. Examples of product-specific links include algorithms, copy strategies, signal links and more.

Similarly, all cTrader deeplinks with a (u) parameter attribute users who follow them.

Tip

You can identify the partner just by looking at an invite link, thanks to the readable (u) parameter at the end. This enhances the transparency and clarity of the attribution process for all invited traders.

The Invite link tab of cTrader Invite enables partners to manage multiple links, thus making the attribution process more organised and tailored to specific trader needs. It is also possible to generate a customisable QR code by choosing between a basic invite link and links leading to specific partner products.

Some of the partners' products automatically appear as invite link options in the Invite link tab.

Tip

Beyond the options in the Invite link tab, you can simply share any product (e.g., a copy strategy) via the cTrader native functionality, and traders will receive your invite link. You can create a deeplink with a (u) parameter manually following our instructions.

Invite links can be shared as a QR code, copied to the clipboard or sent directly to preferred communication channels via the native sharing functionality of mobile devices.

If you contact traders in person, you can demonstrate an invite QR code right on the screen. As an idea, you can add an invite QR code on your business cards and distribute them physically at trading expos and events.

If your traders are remote from you, sharing and invite link on social media would be more convenient.
