# Referral offer claim options

Referral offer claim options control parts of the experience a referred friend sees when claiming an offer.

## Available options

* **Require phone number to claim referral offer:** Toggle this option on to require the referred friend to enter their phone number when claiming the referral offer.
* **Display marketing opt-in alert:** Toggle this option on to display a message to the referred friend indicating that they agree to receive marketing messages from your business. This built-in message is not customizable, does not include an opt-in checkbox, and Perkville does not store the exact language displayed. To use a checkbox, customize the terms, and track what was agreed to, use [Agreements](/features/settings/advanced/agreements.md).
* **Ineligible referral offer message:** Customize the message shown when someone is not eligible to claim a referral offer. This changes the explanation shown to the referred friend; it does not change the eligibility rules themselves.
* **Find nearest location:** Toggle this option on to allow referred friends to use their location to find the nearest participating locations of your business.

## Accessing referral offer claim options

1. From the Dashboard, navigate to **Settings** in the left navigation.
2. Click **Advanced**.
3. Find **Referral offer claim options**.
4. Update the desired settings and save your changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.perkville.com/features/settings/advanced/referral-offer-claim-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
