CapCut invitation code: where to find it and how to use it

CapCut sometimes offers "invitation" deals (referrals, promo codes, trials, bonuses) that give you temporary benefits, like access to certain premium features or account credits. The problem is that depending on the version (mobile, desktop, web), region, and time period, the option to enter a code is not always in the same place... and some of the "codes" circulating are simply traps.

This guide provides a simple overview:

• Where to find your CapCut invitation code (or referral link);
• where to enter a code received from a friend on a mobile device or PC;
• What to check if the code does not work;
• How to avoid scams related to CapCut Pro.

1) CapCut invitation code: what exactly are we talking about?

Several things are often lumped together under the term "invitation code":

• Referral/invitation code: a code (or link) to share to invite a new person to create an account and use CapCut.
• Promo code: a one-time code linked to a marketing offer (discount, trial, bonus).
• Invitation link: a personalized URL that automatically assigns the invitation, without manual entry (in some cases, the app will then ask you to confirm a code).

Depending on the current campaign, CapCut may ask for:

• either go through a link only,
• either enter a code in a "promo" / "invitation" field,
• either both (link + login + action in the app).

2) Where can I find my CapCut invitation code (or link)?

If CapCut offers an invitation campaign on your account, you will usually find the option in one of these locations:

On mobile (Android/iPhone)

• Profile/Account: Look for a tile labeled Invite Friends, Referral, Rewards, Gifts, or Promotion.
• CapCut Pro: Some versions display the "code" entry in the Pro management screen (offer, subscription, benefits).

On PC (CapCut Desktop)

On desktop, the entry can be found in the subscription area:

• Profile/Account → CapCut Pro section → Promotion options/code.

Good tip: if you don't see anything, update the app and check that you are logged into the right account (a "guest" or unlogged-in account sometimes has fewer options).

3) How to enter a CapCut invitation code

Method 1: via the CapCut Pro screen / Offer

This is often the most "logical" place to enter a code:

1. Open CapCut and log in.
2. Go to CapCut Pro (or the subscription screen).
3. Look for an option such as Promo code, Enter code, Invitation, or Redeem.
4. Paste the code and then validate.

Method 2: via a "rewards/gifts" page

Some invitation campaigns use a "rewards" tab:

1. Open Profile.
2. Look for a gift icon or rewards section.
3. Open the screen and use the code entry option if available.

Method 3: via an invitation link (without a code)

If your friend sent you a link:

1. Open the link on the device where you will install CapCut (mobile or PC).
2. Install CapCut if necessary.
3. Log in / create an account.
4. Follow the steps indicated (sometimes the app will display an invitation confirmation or ask for a code).

Tip: If you install CapCut "before" clicking on the link, the invitation may not be assigned. If in doubt, open the link first, then install and log in.

4) CapCut invitation code not working: the most common causes

You are not eligible (new account required)

Many invitation offers only work for:

• a new user, or
• an account that has never had CapCut Pro/trial activated.

If you installed CapCut a long time ago, the offer may not apply.

The campaign is not available in your country (or on your version).

The "invitation" screens vary depending on:

• the region,
• the version (iOS / Android / PC),
• A/B testing and the period.

Two people can therefore see different menus.

The code is entered incorrectly or has expired.

It happens more often than you might think:

• extra space,
• confusion between O and 0, I and 1,
• code expired (or limited to a certain number of uses).

The invitation requires a specific action.

Some offers require that the referred person:

• logs in,
• create a first draft,
• exports a video,
• or performs a specific action before the benefit is triggered.

5) Beware of scams: how to recognize a "fake CapCut code"

Since CapCut is very popular, there are classic pitfalls surrounding "codes":

• Fake billing emails: alarming messages (“payment,” “subscription,” “refund”) that urge you to click on a link.
• Suspicious code sites: pages that ask you to log in with Apple/Google or download a "tool" to obtain a code.
• Extensions/download software: promises of "free CapCut Pro" that install unwanted programs in the process.

Simple rules:

• Never enter your login details on a page whose address seems strange to you.
• Avoid "magic" downloads that promise Pro versions.
• Choose routes in the official app or on the official CapCut website.

6) CapCut Pro: the simplest alternative when the invitation is not available

If you frequently edit videos (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube), CapCut Pro can be worthwhile... but it's yet another subscription to add to an already long list.

Before multiplying "small trials" via invitation codes, a more effective approach is to:

• take stock of your subscriptions (streaming, music, tools, AI, press),
• keep the ones you really use,
• reduce the bill for those that can be shared.

Many everyday services (streaming, music, etc.) offer multi-profile or family plans: by sharing them correctly, you can free up your budget for creative tools like CapCut, without depriving yourself.

Spliiit allows you to manage this co-subscription principle: you join a shared subscription (or offer an unused spot) and everyone pays their share, in a simpler and more structured way than manual transfers. This is often the cleanest way to pay less for all your digital subscriptions.

FAQ — CapCut Invitation Code

Where is the option to enter a code on CapCut?

Most often, it is located in the CapCut Pro screen (subscription) or in a rewards/invitation section of the profile. Depending on the version, the exact location may change.

Why isn't the CapCut invitation code working?

The most common causes: ineligible account (not "new"), campaign unavailable in your region, expired code, or action required (login, video creation/export) before activation.

Does an invitation code necessarily give you CapCut Pro for free?

No. Benefits vary depending on the campaign: trial, bonus, credits, sometimes nothing if the offer is no longer active or if the conditions are not met.

Can multiple CapCut invitation codes be used?

Generally speaking, no: most invitation systems are limited (one code per account, time periods, quotas, anti-abuse rules).

How to avoid fake CapCut codes?

Avoid "code generators," downloads of external tools, and suspicious links. Stick to the official app and the features built into CapCut.

Key points to remember

• A CapCut invitation code may correspond to a referral or a promotion, depending on the campaign.
• The option to enter a code is often found under CapCut Pro or Rewards, but it varies depending on the version.
• If that doesn't work, check eligibility, region, account connection, and required actions.
• To reduce your overall budget, the most effective approach is often to optimize your other shareable subscriptions via co-subscription, rather than relying on a code that is not always available.
