Member friends
Two loyalty members may choose to link their memberships by creating a friendship to share subscription benefits.
Member friend configuration
The friend limit and subscription sharing rules are configured in Loyalty and returned by GetMasterData endpoint:
-
The
friendLimit
indicates the maximum number of friends that a member can have at once. -
The
isSubscriptionSharingRestrictedToActiveSubscribers

"isSubscriptionSharingRestrictedToActiveSubscribers": true,

Subscription sharing
A member with an active subscription may choose to share their benefits with another member (i.e., their friend). When a member chooses to share their subscription, their friend will have the ability to order subscription tickets on their behalf.
Member friend creation flow
Creating a member friend is a multi-step process that requires the involvement of both members.
Create friend code
The first authenticated member may create a friend code via the CreateFriendCode endpoint. The member may optionally choose to share their subscription
with their new friend via the friendCanUseMemberSubscription
request property.
{
"friendCanUseMemberSubscription": true
}
This endpoint returns a single-use friendCode
that can be used by another member to establish the two-way friendship.
{
"friendCode": "string",
"expiresAt": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z"
}
Add friend code
The second authenticated member can establish the friendship by calling the AddFriendFromCode endpoint with the friendCode
before it expires.
{
"friendCode": "string"
}
After adding the friend, the second authenticated member can optionally choose to share their subscription with the first member via the change subscription sharing flow.
NOTE
The member friend creation process will need to be restarted if the friendCode
has already expired.
Change subscription sharing
A member may choose to start or stop sharing their subscription with a friend at any time via the SetSubscriptionSharing endpoint.
{
"friendCanUseMemberSubscription": true
}
IMPORTANT
Depending on configuration, a member may not be able to share their friend's subscription if they don't have their own active subscription.
Remove friend
An authenticated member may remove a friend at any time via the RemoveFriend endpoint. Removing a friend will immediately end any subscription sharing between the members.
