Instagram doesn't provide a direct sharing URL like Twitter and Facebook do.

On mobile: Open the Instagram app and copy the shared text to the clipboard

On desktop: Show a message explaining that Instagram sharing is only available on mobile
When users click the Instagram button on mobile:
The shared text is copied to their clipboard
The Instagram app opens to the camera/new post screen

They'll need to manually paste the text and add any images they want to share

Users will see a message on desktop devices explaining that Instagram sharing is only available on mobile devices.

F.A.Q.'s

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 20:24:04 +0000

1) When people click WHMCS Affiliates link-a and your Refer link-b, who will get the order's credit? a or b ? or both a and b?
ANS: A will get the credit

2) Is this session or cookie-based? If the user clicks the link and signup or places the order later, will that get counted?
ANS: It's cookie-based. This just counts about refer product one, not others

3) How is Refer A Friend addon different from WHMCS affiliate system? do both work with the same referral link?
ANS: No, Refer A Friend only gives credit to your customer, and WHMCS Affiliates can give credit, pay by PayPal, or send out a check

4) How does it work?

For example: 10%
Is it 10% per year credit?

If you click One Time
Is 10% one time, not per year?

ANS: will be paid one time, not yearly

Client: Does it automatically stop when the friend stops to pay?
ANS: Yes, when yes setup one time, just pay for the client's first payment, not for other months
Yes, just paying when the client paid

5) Is this a one-time pay or a monthly, yearly, etc?
ANS: No, this is only one time only
