Creating product vouchers in Origin Basic

Creating a product voucher enables you to issue a unique voucher code with associated products. When the code is redeemed, the products are added to the user's Snapplify account. 

The product voucher creation process in Origin Basic involves creating the voucher, adding products to it, then activating the voucher.

Creating a product voucher

1. Navigate to origin.snapplify.com and sign in.
2. Click Vouchers in the left-hand navigation, then on the Vouchers page, click the 'New Voucher' button.
   
3. Complete the following fields to create your voucher:
   • Label: provide a label/name for the voucher.
   • Code: this is the voucher code users will enter when redeeming the voucher. A default, random voucher code will be generated. 
   • Reference: enter a unique identifier for the voucher.
   • Quantity: specify the total number of redemptions that are allowed for the voucher. On Origin Basic, there can only be one redemption per voucher, so the Quantity field is set to '1', by default.
   • Complimentary: indicate whether the voucher is complimentary or not. Please note, complimentary vouchers may not be sold. This field will only display if you are a publisher (i.e. if you're set up as a publisher).
   • Complimentary Type: if the voucher is complimentary, select a reason for the complimentary voucher from the drop-down list.
4. Click the 'Save' button.
   

Adding products to your voucher

Once your voucher is created, you can add the required products to the voucher.
