When hosts acquire event sign-ups using promotional URLs via the hosts' own SNS networks, emails, etc. instead of using our platform, host service fees will be 0%.
To Qualify for 0% Host Service Fees Using Promotional URLs
In order for event registrations via promotional URLs to qualify for 0% host service fees, the booking must be done within 3 days after guests browse the event listings via the referral URLs. Once a guest accesses the listing page via a promotional URL, the guest has to stay on the same browser page until the event registration is complete.
Another important note—if a promotional URL is posted anywhere on the helloaini.com system, it does not qualify for a 0% host service fee. The promotional URL has to be posted outside of the helloaini.com system such as a host's own SNS pages or non-helloaini.com websites.
For a New User Referral
If a guest has not signed up as a member on helloaini.com yet, the guest has to stay on the browser which is used to access the promotional URL to complete signing-up. Otherwise, the host service fee will not be 0%.
How to Get a Promotional URL
A promotional URL for your event can be generated by following these steps:
From Your PC:
- On your browser, log in to helloaini.com
- Click on the Account icon in the upper right corner
- Select "Dashboard"
- Select "Host Menu"
- Select "Manage Events"
- Select the event you want to refer
- Click on "Get a Promotional URL"

How to Identify a Promotional URL
Aini's promotional URLs always end with "?pcrd=" plus a series of numbers. Before sending a URL to your potential guests, you can check if it is a promotional URL or not by looking for "?prcd=" within the URL.
Examples:
- https://helloaini.com/travels/xxxxx?pcrd=XXXX
- https://helloaini.com/users/xxxxx?pcrd=XXXX
Please Note:
- The 'XXXX' in the above examples will be replaced by numbers in an actual promotional URL.
- URLs including "?prcd=" cannot be posted within the helloaini.com system.
- Once a promotional URL is sent via messaging etc., the "?prcd=" within the URL will be removed.
Refer-a-Friend Coupons
If someone signs up as a new user on helloaini.com through your promotional URL, it is considered referring to a friend, and a refer-a-friend coupon will be issued.
A refer-a friend coupon URL could end with either a "/coupon"* or "?prcd=xxxx" (the XXXX will be replaced with numbers in an actual URL). Please see below for examples.
Examples of A Refer-a Friend Coupon URL:
- https://helloaini.com/users/xxxx/coupon
- https://helloaini.com/users/xxxx?prcd=xxxx
*Please note: A refer-a-friend coupon URL ending with "/coupon" will not qualify for the 0% host service fee.
