Partner Discount Vouchers
Note that only voucher numbers created in the system and then sent for printing are supported
Vouchers will not work until assigned to a partner
How $ value offer vouchers are Applied
$ off vouchers are common with mass email campaigns where customers may have a redeemable barcode they can scan for a $ value discount.
There are no limits to the number of vouchers that an individual can use - however only one per transaction and you can set a minimum $ value required on the order.
$ value off vouchers are considered a part payment method and reduce the amount that needs to be paid similar to a credit not or other voucher.
These vouchers are common with Shopify Stores.
Setup of $ off vouchers
Can create manually one by one

How Partner % Discount Vouchers are Applied.
Discount vouchers are a scannable voucher (recognised by barcode scan in the POS) that is provided to business partners for them to pass to their customers.
It is important that
- You know who you provided the discount voucher book to
- The discount voucher is not usable until provided to a partner in the system
Discount vouchers applies to all purchases (products and services) - the discount is at the order level after all other discounts.
- What this means in practice is that once an order discount is applied to the order no line level discounts are allowed
- This is to avoid confusion
- If an order for two items of $50 each = $100 order value has a discount voucher of 20% the result is a $80 order.
- If one of the lines is discounted by $25 then the order value before the discount would be $75 and the order after discount would be $60.
- Not $80 - $25 = $65.
- So to avoid confusion the order lines cannot be discounted after the voucher has been applied.
- This is to avoid confusion
Discount vouchers may or may not be in books of sequential numbers
Discount vouchers can be used in any retail outlet in the system
Discount vouchers may not require a physical book > for example social media use.
Social media vouchers may take a number of forms
- A unique single use voucher per person > use sequential or random generation and link to the social media partner
- A generic voucher that can be used by anyone quoting the details within a date range - see Using Promotions
Random Number Vouchers
Generation - and output to CSV to send for printing
Note - consider if you want the discount amount set before creating the voucher numbers.
Random voucher numbers have a prefix of DV followed by 13 digits
Discount is not a mandatory field - it can applied now (common if printing voucher books) - or can be applied when the books are assigned to a Partner (if not printed on the book but different partners have different discount amounts)
Vouchers are created 1,000 in each file
Here is an example of the created file (click to view)
Assigning the printed random number book to a partner
Action menu to assign random vouchers
Check the last number in the book
Sequential Voucher Numbers generation
Used when a printer provides sequential books of numbers without a file required and then the books are sent into the field.
Sales reps or area managers will have a physical book
- Enter the starting number
- Enter the number of tickets in the book
- The vouchers will be created and ready to use
Vouchers are unique and so each voucher number can only be created once
Voucher codes will be exactly 9 digits including leading text
Providing discount voucher books to partners when preprinted and sequentially numbered
If the books are already created and sequentially numbered > no need to create the vouchers in the system until they are sent out.
