Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for transmitting an application download from a donor to a recipient or recipients. The donor defines parameters for transferring the application download, including payment distribution between the donor and recipient, delivery method of a notification of the application download to the recipient, identification of the recipient or recipients, a deadline for downloading the application, a maximum number of recipients, and other data relevant to transmitting an application download. Parameters are encoded in an identifier that may be decoded by the recipient's client device or that may be imaged and sent to a server providing the application download service. Various embodiments display the encoded identifier to the recipient via electronic displays or printed mediums. The recipient scans or captures an image of the displayed encoded identifier using a client device.
