Imports overview

You can import vouchers, customers, products and SKUs. Importing is a three-step process.

  1. Prepare import CSV file. Below you will find a table with example CSV files.

  2. Map fields and attributes

    Navigate and click on the import icon for the given import type. Map CSV column titles to Voucherify fields and any custom fields in the dashboard. On the left-hand side, you can see the CSV column names (1) that need to be mapped to fields from a  Select property list (2). After selecting the matching field, choose the Plus (3) to confirm mapping.Mapping screenshot

  3. Import data by clicking import to confirm. You will be notified when the import is completed in the Notifications Center.

Guidelines

There are few things you need to know before starting the import. Here are some guidelines to follow for importing data into Voucherify:

  • Is there a limit to the amount of data I can import? The import file size is 10 megabytes for all import types.
  • Note that dates and date-time attributes need to be provided in compliance with the ISO 8601 norms. For example, 2022-03-11T09:00:00.000Z or 2022-03-11.
  • Columns that can't be mapped to standard fields, will be mapped to Custom attributes and added as metadata. There is no limit on the number of custom attributes that you can import as metadata. To provide the proper data type, you need to add all custom attributes to the metadata schema before importing the file.
  • Headers with metadata names can't contain white-space characters.
  • If you import metadata defined in the schema as arrays (multiple), you need to separate each value using a comma, for example:
    • array of strings: "subscribed,premium"
    • array of numbers: "123,234"
    • array of dates: "2000-01-01,2000-01-02"

Notifications

You can set custom notifications for data import by going to the Notifications Center > Personal Settings.

Troubleshooting & Audit

Once your import is finished you can find its status under the notification bell icon, whether it was successful or failed.

If you receive an error during your data import attempt, you can check the details regarding the problem in your dashboard in the Audit Log. You can find it at the bottom of the left hand side menu as shown on the screenshot below.

This will guide you to what to change in your import CSV to get the import through. 

Note that if the number of errors in one import exceeds 100 then the import process is automatically stopped.

Examples

Below you will find a couple of CSV file examples.

Note that only metadata that is NOT nested will be imported correctly.

Vouchers

We'll begin with showing some examples for the different voucher types that you can import to Voucherify.

Standalone discount vouchers

You can import a CSV file to create standalone vouchers. Even though you can create a standalone voucher campaign, if you import vouchers through CSV in the Campaign > Vouchers section in the dashboard, the vouchers will not have a campaign attached. However, if you have a standalone voucher campaign, you can import additional vouchers to that campaign.

You can import the following fields for standalone vouchers:
