Generate unique promo codes

Avalon provides the users with an option to generate a batch of unique codes as part of larger promotion programs or campaigns. Unique codes are promotional codes that can only be used once and can be allocated/assigned to individual customer.

Note

1. A promo code is created as per normal, but checkbox Generate Unique Codes is checked.

2. Quantity of unique promo codes to be generated is based on the value defined in field Total Quantity. (Eg: Total quantity is defined as 100, 100 unique promo code will be generated).

3. Each unique promo code has prefix + suffix. Prefix originates from promo code title whilst suffix is 8 random characters. Eg: Promo code name = 5POFF. Unqiue-generated promo code = 5POFF22dmw4Ey.

4. Each unique code is meant for single use only.

5. The discount amount is the same as what was specified at promo code level.

6. All unique codes generated are displayed in Codes tab that is accessible when we click on the Promo Code ID link.

There are 2 methods to generate unique codes.
