If you need to share codes from other sources with Voucherify, you can handle this scenario using the Import CSV tool in the Dashboard. The tool enables you to import:
  • Generic gift cards.
  • New unique gift cards to a campaign.
  • Existing gift cards to update them.
When importing codes to a campaign, the system applies two simultaneous limits for the import file:
  • Code count limit: Up to 100,000 codes.
  • File size limit: Up to 10 MB CSV file size.
The import will stop when whichever limit hits first.Note that 100,000 codes is the overall campaign code limit. If the campaign already contains codes (e.g., 50,000 codes), only the remaining capacity (e.g., 50,000 codes) will be imported to maintain the 100,000 total code limit.
Important
  • The start and expiration dates in the CSV file should be provided in compliance with the ISO 8601 norms, for example, 2020-03-11T09:00:00.000Z.
  • CSV columns mapped to custom attributes will be added as code metadata. The number of custom attributes you can import as metadata is unlimited.
  • You cannot import two identical codes to a single Voucherify project.
  • When importing existing incentives (discount coupons, referral codes, loyalty cards, or gift cards) into a campaign, only two fields can be updated: the active status (true/false) and the category. All other attributes remain unchanged.

Preparing CSV file for generic gift cards

To import generic gift cards, prepare a CSV file with your codes and define columns as follows:
  • Required:
    • Voucher Type (text: GIFT_VOUCHER)
    • Balance (an integer value - number representing the initial balance)
    • Code (the unique gift card code)
  • Optional:
    • Category
    • Active (TRUE / FALSE)
    • Start date
    • Expiration date
    • Redeemed quantity
    • Redemption limit
    • Additional Info
    • Formula
Fields other than the ones listed above will not be imported. Even if you provide them, they will be skipped.CSV generic gift card file template
These codes will function as standalone gift cards, independent of a campaign.

​
Import generic gift cards

Go to Campaign hub > Campaigns and Import CSV.
Webhook sendout prerequisiteWhile importing, you can additionally select the checkbox to Create a webhook sendout for the vouchers created and updated during the import. This triggers a Voucher created or Voucher updated webhook when the coupons are processed.To enable webhook sendout during the voucher import, first configure webhooks in Project settings > Webhooks. Select the voucher.created and voucher.updated events for the sendout to work.Read Project settings webhooks to learn more about configuring webhooks.

Preparing CSV file for campaign gift cards

Import gift cards to campaign prerequisiteIf you don’t have a campaign for your codes yet, create a gift card campaign first.
When adding gift cards to an existing campaign, he CSV should have the following columns:
  • Required:
    • Code
  • Optional:
    • Active
    • Category
    • Redeemed Quantity
    • Custom metadata fields
Fields other than the ones listed above will not be imported. Even if you provide them, they will be skipped.CSV gift card file template
All unmapped attributes will inherit the campaign’s default settings as well as validation rules, time frame, redemption limits, and so on.

​
Import behavior for selected attributes

Some of the attributes work as follows when imported:
  • Active:
    • If the campaign is Active and the active field is omitted in the CSV, the active attribute for the imported vouchers is set to TRUE.
    • If the campaign is Expired and the active field is omitted in the CSV, the active attribute for the imported vouchers is set to FALSE.
  • Metadata:
    • If metadata is omitted, the voucher inherits the campaign’s metadata.
    • If metadata columns are added, the mapped metadata only overrides those specific fields.

​
Import gift cards to a campaign

In Campaign hub > Campaigns, go to the gift card campaign where you want to import the cards. In the top right corner, use the three-dot menu to Import CSV file.
