Release version: 3.7.8

Introduction

Vouchers in Payway are a way for you to give away a free, limited, and package-based subscription, simply by generating a voucher code from the PAP and giving this code to the customer. The customer can then redeem this code as long as the voucher has not expired, and gain access to the given product for a set amount of time.

How to create a Voucher

When it comes to creating a voucher for your customers to use, you can go via one of two ways:

Payway Administration Portal (PAP)

To create a voucher, simply navigate to PAP => Packages & Campaigns => Vouchers. Here, you'll be able to view your active/inactive vouchers, as well as create new ones. Upon creating a voucher, you will be able to specify the following:

  • Quantity: How many vouchers should be created in bulk?
  • Packages: What packages the voucher should provide access to?
  • Expires (Date): When the voucher should expire. An expired voucher can no longer be redeemed by the customer.
  • Access (Days): How many days of access the customer should get once the voucher has been redeemed?

How to redeem a Voucher

Once a voucher has been created and given to the customer, the customer can redeem the code in one of two ways:

Payway Client Portal (PCP)

To allow a customer to redeem a created voucher "out of the box", you can have a look at our Portal - Redeem section.
