Metadata (custom fields)

Metadata enables you to extend Voucherify objects with custom attributes. You can use them for customer segment filters, validation rules, and reporting purposes. Metadata works with campaigns, vouchers, customers, SKUs, products, redemptions, publications, loyalty tier, promotion tier, orders.

Schema validator

Voucherify will take care of metadata integrity. This is achieved by metadata schema validator. It allows you to define fields types, including:

text
number
boolean
date
date time
image URL
object

Additionally, each field can be marked as optional. Also, text and number can be restricted by the following filters:

Text – min/max/exact length, is equal to.
Number – less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater or equal to, equal to, not equal to.

📘
Each project can have a separate metadata schema. You can also clone Metadata Schema between different projects.

Nested Metadata

To extend the customization capabilities of Voucherify, you can also use nested metadata properties. If your business logic does not match any of the predefined Voucherify objects, you can create a new custom object. For example, you may create a new metadata Payment and add to it several nested properties, such as payment_method, payment_channel, or payment_tax. To customize these properties further, you can decide about the type of the given metadata property and optionally set different conditions, e.g., payment method has to be either credit card or wire transfer.

{
    "source_id":"your-tracking-id", 
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "address": {
      "city": "Melbourne",
      "state": "FL",
      "line_1": "226 E Fee Ave",
      "line_2": null,
      "country": "Australia",
      "postal_code": "32901"
    },
    "description":"Premium user, ACME Inc.",
    "metadata": {
      "payment": {
             "payment_method" : "Visa",
              "payment_channel" : "online",
              "payment_tax":"deduced"
    }
  }
}

If you would like to pass more metadata properties per single metadata object, choose "Is Array" box while creating metadata schema.

{
    "source_id":"your-tracking-id", 
    "name": "Julia Stane",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "address": {
      "city": "Warsaw"
    },
    "metadata": {
      "favorite_products": [ "chococlate_box","red baloons", "dog t-shirt" ]
    }
}
