<h2>Tips</h2>

<ul>
  <li>Invites can include graphics or videos to make them more appealing to recipients.</li>
  <li>You can personalise the invite flow by deep linking to app content and in-app purchases,
  so the user is taken straight to checkout. Use Google Sign-In and Wallet to make any order
  friction free.</li>
</ul>
