Frequently asked questions (FAQ): Free Coins CPI
SDK and LTV Measurement
Q. What is “No SDK” tracking?
A. It is a system that enables the tracking of a
user’s install and launch of an app by using its
package name. (i.e. without the need to
integrate the Free Coins SDK). Coins are
awarded to eligible users once they return to the
LINE Free Coins page.
Q. Is it possible to measure LTV?
A. From the Free Coins reporting tool
(dashboard) only a limited number of metrics
can be tracked. (See Report Summary page for
more details). If using 3rd party tracking tools, it
is possible to use a tracking (redirect) URL in
order to measure LTV through the tool. Please
understand that since postbacks are not enabled,
there is a high chance of disparity in conversion
numbers from any 3rd party tracking tool.
Q.
Is it possible to perform a test of the
tracking URL before the campaign is launched?
A. We ask partners to carry out the tracking
test. LINE generally does not carry out the test
(excluding special cases). Please note, we do not
guarantee the accuracy or performance of any
3rd party tracking tool.
Q. Can we send postbacks to LINE Free Coins?
A. Conversions are measured completely within
LINE so there is no need for postbacks.
Q.
Q.
A.
A.
Q.
Is it possible to prevent user duplication by
using 3rd party SDKs or tracking tools?
Q.
A.
Conversions are measured completely within
the LINE tracking system, and therefore we
cannot prevent duplications with other media
sources. Therefore, there may be in some cases,
some disparity between conversions measured
by LINE and a 3rd party SDK. Please note that
billing will always be based on conversions
measured by LINE.
A.
Are there any limitations on the number of
times the tracking URL be redirected?
Yes, we strongly recommend that
redirecting be limited to 3 times.
Can the user receive the Coins again when
he/she changes to a new device?
Duplicate Coins will not be awarded if the
user is using the same LINE account.
Is there possibility of conversions occurring
after the campaign finishes?
Yes, there is a 24 hour grace period which
allows eligible users the chance to claim their
entitled Free Coins. Conversions that occur
during this 24 hour grace period are subject to
billing.

Q.
User Conversion Point
Q.
Do you acquire or use personal information
for tracking purposes?
A.
No, we do not acquire or use any personal
information, or use tracking data for any
secondary purpose.
Q.
Can users who have already installed the
published apps receive Free Coins?
A.
The LINE app will check if the app is already
installed, so Coins will not be awarded if they
already have the app. However, users who have
deleted the app before the campaign can still
receive the Free Coins.
© LINE Corporation
Is it possible to request a specific campaign
start date and time?
A.
Start date and time is Monday-Friday 11:00
JST (or 16:00 JST in some countries)
Q.
Is it possible to cap the daily number of
installs?
A.
No, however some products allow the
splitting up of budget over multiple days. Please
check the price list / rate card for more details.
Q.
Is it possible to stop the campaign before
the campaign period ends?
A. In principle, we do not allow the campaign
to be stopped short unless under exceptional
circumstances. (i.e. server issues, or problems
related to the service) Please inform us if you
notice any problems with the service or
experience unexpected issues.
