Voucherify allows for launching product-specific promotions. For example, you can make a coupon valid only if a customer purchases a given product or apply a 10% discount if you detect the customer has an iPhone X 64GB in their cart. To start creating product-oriented deals, you should import your product catalog to Voucherify. You can achieve it in two ways, with the Dashboard, and through the API.

Catalog structure

One product – many variants

Voucherify supports product → variants relationship by default. This means you can create a parent object (product) and attach several variants (SKUs). In the product object, you can define attributes to distinguish several SKUs. For example:

{
      "id": "prod_yKHc4SyG1agSww",
      "source_id": "internal_erp_id_1477390384",
      "object": "product",
      "name": "Apple iPhone 7",
      "price" : 70000,
      "attributes": [
        "color",
        "memory"
      ],
      "created_at": "2016-10-25T10:12:58Z",
      "skus": {
        "object": "list",
        "total": 0,
        "data": []
      }
    }

    {  
      "id":"sku_0KtP4rvwEECQ2U",
      "source_id":"internal_erp_sku_id_1477475922",
      "sku":"APPLE_IPHONE_7_BLACK_32",
      "attributes":{  
        "color":"black",
        "memory":"32"
      },
      "created_at":"2016-10-26T10:04:52Z",
      "object":"sku",
      "metadata": { 
        "country": "us"
        }
    }

Source_id

You can map your internal product id to a product source_id in Voucherify.

Advanced catalog structure

If you want to map more advanced relationships like series, families, brands, etc. you should use metadata. By adding custom fields and applying respective validation rules in the metadata schema, you can model the whole structure for your inventory. You can mix the metadata-based relationships with products and SKUs.

Validation of Product and SKU Metadata

When validating code or promotion, Voucherify treats SKUs as products. It means, that SKU inherits the metadata assigned to the product and combines product and SKU attributes. As a result, the SKUs will be considered in the validation of product-specific rules:

  • validation process executes rules built with product metadata against all product SKUs;
  • if you define a rule discount applicable to a specific product id, the discount will be applied to the product and all product SKUs;
  • if you define a rule discount applicable to based on product metadata, the discount will be applied to the product or/and SKU that has a matching attribute in their metadata;

If you use product metadata in validation rules and pass product SKU in Validate Voucher or Redeem Voucher request, the app checks if SKU metadata match validation rules. If SKU metadata matches validation rules, validation is succeeded.

🚧

Important notes

If SKU and product have a different value for the same metadata definition, the SKU overwrites the product metadata value.

Product Collections

Collections group products that share the same attributes (standard and custom ones with metadata). Product collections can be used in validation rules to model product-specific limits. Collections are built using filters in the Products section in the dashboard. There are two types of collections:

  • static collection that remains unchanged after it is saved. Each static collection may contain up to 20 products.
  • dynamic collection that checks each incoming order item against collection criteria and updates its products list in real-time.

Both static and dynamic collections are built on top of applied filters. You can find the list of available product filters here. Additionally, static collection can be created by manually picking items from the main products' list.

Product collections can be managed using your dashboard or dedicated product collections API.

You can create up to 100 product collections in each project.
