FAQ
What is the difference between Open Value and Value?
Open Value lets the customer choose the voucher amount. Value is used for fixed amount vouchers such as £10 or £50.
What does Hidden Online do?
It keeps the voucher template in your setup but stops it from being shown on the live voucher site.
Do I need to assign a category?
Yes, where categories are being used. This controls which section of the voucher site the template appears in.
