Short answer
Offer codes are alphanumeric codes that developers distribute so users can redeem free or discounted access in the App Store or Google Play. They can apply to subscriptions or in-app items and are shared through channels such as email, events, or partnerships. Offer codes help acquire, retain, and win back subscribers outside the app.
