Small volumes of vouchers, quick time of implementation, and when the partner doesn't agree to use another way.


2. Semi-manual - vouchers are generated on the Vouchery platform and redeemed via Vouchery web or mobile coupon scanning app.


How:

Vouchers are generated on Vouchery, using the rules and restrictions. The customer receives the voucher in the form of QR codes ( in the app or via email ). When the Customer comes to redeem the voucher, Shop Assistant uses Vouchery mobile scanning app to verify the transaction.


Or, optionally, the code can be entered and verified on the desktop. Here's how:
