Vouchers provide a straightforward and cost effective solution for users to upgrade their account balance. Vouchers are common value tokens in many applications, like for instance pre-paid mobile phones. Unlike solutions that use smart cards, micro-payments or vending machines, voucher systems require no hardware investment. While manual processing is needed to generate, print, distribute and sell the voucher cards, redemption is fully end-user driven and can be processed automatically.
A voucher system is fully integrated in SavaPage, and includes:
-
A Web App dialog for administrators to Create Vouchers.
-
A Web App dialog for end-users to Redeem Vouchers.
-
A Voucher Security safety net for voucher tracking and fraud prevention.
The list shows the vouchers of a selected Batch-ID and the extra selections shown in the next figure.
-
The list is refreshed, and the selection applied, after you push the button.
-
The button resets the selection items to their default values.
Select vouchers by entering:
-
Part of their Number.
-

-
Their or status.
-

-
Number: the number of vouchers in the batch.
-
Value: the monetary value of each voucher.
-
Expiry Date: the date after which a voucher can no longer be used. This enforces that vouchers are valid for a limited period of time.
-
Layout: the page format of the PDF output with the number of voucher columns and rows. Some fixed variants are offered.
Press the button to create the batch. As a result:
-
Each voucher in the batch is assigned a formatted random unique number, for example
