How are Vouchers redeemed?

By creating a Voucher Payment Method. This will then show as an option in Box Office and on your Website (if you've added those as Channels), where the User or Customer can enter their Voucher code.

FAQs

How do I report on Vouchers?

If you'd like to report on specific Voucher codes and balances, create a Vouchers Report. This will also show you the Credit, Debit, Net and Expired Value of your Vouchers.

If you'd like to report just on sales of Voucher Products, create a Transactions Report.

NOTE - as Voucher Products aren't connected to Performances, they won't appear in a Performances Report.

Another option when looking for Voucher sales is the Vouchers page, where you can browse and manage Vouchers.

How do I check the status of a Voucher?

By going to the Tools page and the Vouchers section, where you can browse and manage Vouchers:

  1. Go to the Tools page and click Vouchers

  2. Check the status of your Vouchers. If it has a tick, it's still valid; if it has a cross, it has expired
