Mxit’s Recommend Service enables users to quickly and easily add your app by clicking on the link in the app, or linking to other apps from within your app.


Ways of recommending apps

This two ways of recommending apps:

  • Share an app with a friend (User A wants to recommend App X to User B),
  • Add another app (App X wants to cross-sell App Y to User A)


How do I use the Recommend Service?

Below is the code you will need to enable users to share your app or add another of your apps. 


1. Share an app with a friend (User A wants to recommend App X to User B):

mxit://[mxit_recommend]/Recommend?service_name={servicename}

<a href="mxit://[mxit_recommend]/Recommend?service_name=servicename" type="mxit/service-navigation">Your custom link</a>

or

2. Add another app (App X wants to cross-sell App Y to User A):

mxit://[mxit_recommend:Refresh]/Referral?from={fromservicename}&to={toservicename}

<a href="mxit://[mxit_recommend:Refresh]/Referral?from=servicename&to=servicename" type="mxit/service-navigation">Your custom link</a><br/>
