Create Discount Vouchers For Registered Users
Select Registered User from the drop-down in Select User Type. Then, click on users (which will only appear when you select 'registered users' from the drop-down) link to open a dialogue box named Create Vouchers.
Search & select the user for which you want to create a new voucher. You can search the user(s) based on any of the following criteria:
- Created Date or Last Logged in Date
- Groups
- Email Address
- Mobile Number
- First name/Last Name
- City
- Deactivated Users
Now, select the required registered users and click on Add Selected. The dialogue box will be closed and the count of users will be shown under Selected User Type.
Moving forward to the Voucher Code, you can either create one yourself or take randomly generated codes using the promotion engine. To enter voucher code manually, click on Voucher Code text box. Unique voucher codes will be created for each registered user. In case of many registered users, seperate the codes with the help of a comma.
NOTE
A common voucher code cannot be used by two or more users.
If you want to let Martjack create voucher codes for you, click on Let Martjack Create Voucher Code For Me checkbox. Then, enter the number of characters that you want to have in the voucher.
NOTE
The range of the characters must be of 4 to 12.
Enter the number of times a user can use the 'voucher code' text box. In the case of unlimited users, enter -1.
Now, select the activation date of the discount voucher from the Voucher Date Picker. Also, note that this is just the voucher creation date. The date will be valid as per the campaign validity/the validity of the cart promotion.
Lastly, enter the remarks in the Remarks section and click on Save.
What Happens After The Voucher Is Created?
Now, the voucher that you just created will be listed in the created vouchers section. As you have already created the voucher codes for registered users, email these 'voucher codes' to respective 'registered users'. Click on Send Email to do the same. Fill in the required details and send the email.
Create Discount Vouchers For Non-Registered Users
From the drop-down of Select User Type select Non-Registered Users. Then, mention the voucher code yourself or from Martjack. Here, you can create a single voucher for all non-registered users.
For example:
You want to send the voucher to 100 customers, you can create 100 unique codes or a single code and send the same to all the customers. This way the same voucher can be used by any non-registered customer unlike in case of registered users. However, you can limit the maximum number of times a voucher can be used.
NOTE
You can also separate different vouchers with the help of a comma.
Follow the same procedure as the Registered Users if you want Martjack to create the voucher codes.
Fill in the required fields similarly as of the Registered Users, and click on Save. Now go to the Created Vouchers section and send an email to all the non-registered users.
Create Discount Vouchers For User Groups
Select User Groups from the drop-down of Select User Type. You can create the code by yourself or with the help of Martjack. Here, a single voucher code is enough for a User Group.
Select the date of the discount voucher from Voucher Date picker and fill in the required Remarks. Now, click on Save and the voucher is created.
Send an email for the same to the user groups and the process is completed.
NOTE
Repeat the same process to send the discount voucher code(s) to other users of this user group.
