# Create a reward

> ⚠️ **BETA endpoint**

This is a work-in-progress documentation of a BETA endpoint. The parameters, fields, request and response bodies, and other data may subject to change. If you want to share feedback or improvements, contact Voucherify support or your Technical Account Manager.

Creates a new reward. `name`, `type` and `costs` are required. When `type` is
`MATERIAL` the `material` object is required and `digital` must be null; when
`type` is `DIGITAL` the `digital` object is required and `material` must be null.
The reward can be created directly in `DRAFT` (default) or `ACTIVE` status.
When `validity_hours` is not provided it defaults to `{ "type": "ANY_TIME" }`.
