If you're familiar with Google Sheets, you can use a free add-on called Random Generator to create a list of random voucher codes for use with Checkfront. 

Create a new sheet and click on the Extensions menu at the top. Select Add-ons and then choose Get add-ons.

Use the search box to find the Random Generator app and install it.

Returning to the Extensions menu, you can now launch the Random Generator app.

After launching, select the required number of cells in column A (1). Each cell represents one random voucher code.

From the Random Generator menu, select Strings (2), check the capital letters and number strings, and set a string length of 8.

When ready, click the blue Generate button at the bottom. You now see your voucher codes on the sheet.

From there, you only need to download the sheet from the File menu and upload it to Checkfront.
