How can I generate and import my own voucher codes?

Have you already defined your own value codes and would now like to import them together in bookingkit?

Written by Björn Blankenhagen

Bookingkit generally differentiates between vouchers and promotional coupons. This article explains the difference between them in more detail.

Generate random voucher codes

  1. Under "Orders" and then "Vouchers", you can create both gift vouchers as well as promotional vouchers and specify their codes.

  2. If you want to create a high number of randomly generated voucher codes, we recommend the Random Code Generator: with the free version, you can create up to 1,000 different voucher codes and download them as a CSV file.

  3. Try to avoid special characters if possible to make entering the voucher codes as easy as possible for your customers and to prevent receiving questions or complaints

Important note: Please note that a re-import of already imported codes with e.g. new values is not technically possible.

Import of vouchers

Please send the .csv file with the all details listed below directly to bookingkit support via chat or email. If the information is complete, the import usually takes place within 5 business days.

If a document contains more than 500 codes, it must be split and uploaded in multiple files, as a maximum of 500 codes can be processed per import. In this case, please send us the documents already split accordingly.

The following details are required for the import of vouchers:

  • Title of the voucher (will be displayed as the name of the voucher when redeemed by the end customer)

  • Voucher code (at least 3 digits, case-sensitive if necessary)

  • Voucher value (absolute amount in € (please without the currency symbol), point-separated instead of comma-separated for any decimal places, e.g. 15.5)

Please note that the date of the import is automatically saved as the creation date of the imported vouchers. This may affect the expiry date of the vouchers.

An example of a correctly formatted .csv file for voucher import:

Import of promotional coupons

  • Title of the coupon (will be displayed as the name of the voucher when redeemed by the end customer)

  • Voucher code (at least 3 digits, case-sensitive if necessary)

  • Voucher value (granted discount as an absolute amount in € or as a percentage (please do not include currency or percent symbols), point instead of comma for any decimal places)

  • Type of discount (fix = absolute amount in €, rel = percentage based)

  • Valid from (based on order date) - Correct format: YYYY-MM-DD

  • Valid until (based on order date) - Correct format: YYYY-MM-DD

  • Maximum number of redemptions per code (e.g. 1 = each code can only be redeemed once) --> Please send us this information directly via email and do not enter it into the Excel file.

Example of a correctly formatted .csv file for importing promotional vouchers:

Please note that it is not possible to restrict the usage of imported vouchers and coupons to specific experiences or appointments. However, you can change and limit the usage of promotional vouchers manually as soon as they are imported.
