To access this section in Monetization, from the Menu, select Business configuration, and click Voucher. A paginated list of all vouchers is shown in a tabular format.

Vouchers give specific bundles that contain a discount to the customer when consumed. It is similar to a coupon.

Voucher vs. Coupon

The difference between a coupon and a voucher is that a coupon only lasts for that specific purchase. In contrast, a voucher can give something to the customer on a prolonged basis. For instance, a customer can get a discount that lasts two years through a voucher.

Example of a coupon

A customer is purchasing an add-on for 1GB, which costs 10 euros and has a coupon code for a 50% discount.

Example of a voucher

A customer receives a reward voucher code, which, when consumed, will grant 100 free MB.

Two actions/subpages can be performed/viewed under this section, namely:

• Create a voucher
• Details voucher page

Create a voucher

Under voucher, to create a voucher, click Create new. Provide a name, code, vendor, code character set, code template, quantity, redemption quantity, range start, bundle, and validity period; the remaining input fields are optional.

Explanation of some terms

Vendor

This means the name of the entity that owns the voucher. It is only used for information purposes. Your organization name can be used under this section.

Code character set

This can either be numerical or alphanumerical. If numerical is selected, the generated codes will only include numbers, while if alphanumerical is selected, the generated codes will include both letters and numbers.

The code template

This provides the template that Monetization will use to generate the voucher codes.

Quantity

This represents the number of voucher codes to be generated.

Redemption quantity

This represents how many times the customer can use each code.

Range start

This represents the starting point for the auto-generated codes.

Practical example

The below shows an example of a voucher configuration setting.

• code template = voucher_##
• character set = numerical
• quantity = 5
• redemption quantity = 1
• range start = 87

This will yield five generated voucher codes, which the customer can only use once. The codes will be generated as follows based on the code template and range start:

• voucher_87
• voucher_88
• voucher_89
• voucher_90
• voucher_91

Under voucher, to see the full details of a voucher, click Details. It contains the following:

• Name
• Code
• Description
• Vendor
• Type
• Code character set
• Code template
• Quantity

Below the information will be the generated voucher codes shown in a tabular format, including their status and remaining quantity.
