Create and Sell Vouchers

Learn how to create and sell single-use vouchers, view voucher details, and understand the attendee redemption experience

Written by Alex Thompson

Vouchers allow attendees to purchase credit that another attendee can apply toward an order for tickets or other items on your event page. Each voucher can be redeemed only once.

This article explains how to add a voucher field, allow attendees to purchase a voucher without buying another ticket, and find and view vouchers.

FAQs

Can a voucher be applied to any ticket level?

Yes. By default, a voucher can be applied toward any ticket level.

Note: By default, a voucher can only be applied to one order. Any unused balance cannot be automatically carried over to another order, so we recommend redeeming the full voucher amount at once.

Are vouchers the same as gift cards?

No. A voucher can only be applied to a single ticket order. Any remaining balance after the order is completed will not carry over and cannot be used on a future order.

What happens if I refund a purchase made with a voucher?

You can issue a full or partial refund to the person who purchased the voucher. This does not automatically affect the order of the attendee who redeemed it. If you want to cancel both orders, cancel them separately.

Can a voucher be used on any page?

By default, a voucher can only be redeemed on the page where it was originally purchased. However, you can manually edit a voucher to make it global if needed.

What if the voucher recipient doesn't receive the email (or accidentally deletes it)?

The voucher is still valid even if the email wasn't received. You can look up the voucher code from the original order, or find a record of all vouchers sold in your Coupons section.

What happens if the recipient doesn’t use the voucher’s full value?

Vouchers are single-use codes and do not track remaining balances, so they work best when applied to an order that uses the full value.

To let a recipient use the remaining value on a second order, manually update the coupon’s value to the remaining balance and increase its usage limit to 2. For example, if the recipient uses $70 of a $100 voucher, change the coupon’s value to $30 before allowing a second use. Otherwise, the recipient could receive the full $100 discount again.

Can I resend a voucher email?

There's currently no way to resend the original voucher email. Instead, copy the voucher code and send it to the attendee directly.
