How to set up a limited-time offer in your gift voucher platform

Discover how to drive buyer demand and sales using limited-time discounted offers whilst displaying the pre-discount price.

Setting up discounted offers whilst displaying the pre-discount price is an effective means of highlighting a price reduction and driving demand for buyers.

In this article, we will cover how to:

  1. Set a Discounted Price

  2. Set a Limited Time Sale Period or Purchase Window

To set a discounted price, log in to your dashboard.

1. Navigate to Vouchers on the sidebar.
2. Locate the voucher you wish to amend. Select Actions.

3. Click on Edit.
​


4. Click on Edit Voucher Pricing & Quantity.
​


5. Enable the "Crossed-out Price" and type in the original price of the voucher that you wish to display, ie the pre-discount price.

Remember to add in the pre-discount price for every option if you have multiple options available in your voucher.
​


6. Scroll down and click on "Save and Exit" to save the changes.
​


You will now see the crossed-out price reflected on the voucher's details page.


​
You can also choose to set a specific limited-time sales window or purchase window for your voucher.
​
This window will instruct the system when to automatically put your offer on sale, and when to take it down again, avoiding the need for you to do this manually.
​
It drives demand, giving the voucher buyer an incentive to purchase before the offer period ends.
​
1. Login to your dashboard and navigate to Vouchers on the sidebar.
2. Locate the voucher you wish to amend, then select Actions.

3. Click on Edit.
​


4. Click on Edit Voucher Details.
​


5. Scroll down to find the Purchase Window. Here, you can select the exact dates you want your voucher to be on sale, both "from" and "to".
​
You can even be time-specific, for example, setting your sale to end precisely at midnight on a given date. The system will automatically remove the voucher from sale at the specified date and time.
​


6. Scroll down and click on "Save and Exit" to save the changes.
​


7. Click on "Preview this voucher" to see how it will appear for the customer.
