My trip invite link isn't working. What can I check?

There are two different links in Stippl, and mixing them up is the most common cause of confusion:

Share trip link: read-only. People who open it can view and follow your trip, not edit it.
Invite trip members link: full access. People who join become trip members and can edit the itinerary, add expenses, upload documents, and write journals.

To plan a trip together, open the trip menu and use Invite, then Invite trip members.

Create an account first. The invitee needs a Stippl account and must be logged in before the link can add them to the trip.
Open the link in a browser. If tapping the link opens the app on the home screen without joining the trip, open the same link in a browser instead, log in there, and you will be added to the trip. It then appears in the app as well.
Update the app. Older app versions sometimes missed the join step when opening an invite link.
Check it is the right link. Ask the trip owner to send the link from Invite trip members, not from Share trip link.

Trip members do not need their own Pro subscription to join and edit a shared trip. Some Pro features stay tied to the subscriber's own account.
Everyone who joins a trip can edit it; there is currently no view-only member role. For a view-only experience, use the share link instead.
You can remove a member via the trip's travel party settings.
Did someone end up following the trip instead of joining it? Simply send them the invite link; the follow does not need to be undone first.
