Preparing to upload/add vouchers
Instead of supplying a single discount code, you may wish to upload a list of pre-defined voucher codes.
To prepare your file for upload:
- Open your favourite spreadsheet programs, such as Numbers or Excel.
- List your voucher codes in column A, one code per row.
- Save as a CSV or TXT file to your computer.
|
The voucher list should use the following file formats. Each code must be unique.
The codes should consist of letters, numbers, and dashes only. Using any other characters may prevent the discounts from being applied properly. Example: SALE-123 |
You can use a third-party solution such as randomcodegenerator.com to compile an extensive voucher code list quickly.
|
Alternatively, you can use Google Sheets and the Random Generator add-on to generate voucher codes. Learn more here: |
Uploading vouchers for use with items
Using items? Once you have your list of vouchers (TXT or CSV), then you can upload it to the system by clicking on the Upload Vouchers button and then the Choose File button when it appears.
After selecting the file from your computer, it is now attached to the upload field, as shown in the screenshot above.
Configure the rest of the settings described in our article: Creating a discount.
Finally, select Create to save the uploaded vouchers file and create the discount.
|
When uploading a list of vouchers for items, be sure to leave the Discount Code field blank. |
Uploading vouchers for use with products
Using products? You can upload the list by activating the Vouchers switch under Enable single-use vouchers so that it shows blue. Then, click in the Select a file box that displays to the left to choose the file CSV file you want to upload.
Once the file is uploaded, the number of voucher codes uploaded successfully displays to the right of the file upload.
Configure the rest of the settings described in our article: Creating a discount.
Finally, click Save to save your changes and create the new discount.
