How-to guide

Switch on automated vouchers

Three coupons come built in: one on sign-up, one on a birthday, one right after a first order. Set them once and they keep running.

WHO THIS IS FOR

MK

Anyone who wants repeat visits

without remembering to send anything.

SM

Stores already registering members

— the vouchers need a member list to send to.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Nothing sends until you tap Publish. Save as Draft keeps a voucher configured but dormant.

Give each one an expiry. Usage Validity in days is what stops old coupons turning up months later.

THE STEPS

Pick the device in front of you.

Welcome voucher

Lands in a customer’s profile the moment they register. Tap Welcome Voucher, set a Discount Name customers will read, for example Welcome!, then a Discount Value as a percentage or a fixed amount. Scroll to Usage Validity and give it a lifespan, for example 60 days, then tap Publish.

Name it and set the value.
Name it and set the value.
Set validity, then Publish.
Set validity, then Publish.

Birthday voucher

Drops into the member’s profile on their birthday, every year, as long as their date is on file. Select Birthday Voucher, set the name, for example Happy Birthday!, and the discount value, then tap Publish.

Set it once, it runs every year.
Set it once, it runs every year.

Next order voucher

Sends straight after a member’s first checkout to pull them back for a second visit. Select Next Order Voucher, set the name and value, for example Welcome Back! at 5% off. Check the Automation Messaging preview at the bottom — that is the wording that reaches customers over WhatsApp. Tap Publish.

Publish, not Save as Draft.

IF IT LOOKS WRONG

No voucher after sign-up

The welcome voucher is probably still a draft. Reopen it and tap Publish.

Birthday vouchers skip some members

Only profiles with a birthday on file qualify. Ask staff to capture it at sign-up.

Coupons expire too quickly

Usage Validity is set in days. Raise it, then publish the voucher again.
