Offers

The offers application found on your “My Store” homepage allows you to create a variety of special offers for people buying your products or making bookings.

Offers can be featured on your website via the Inzu API or in newsletters created with Inzu.

Your offers list will have two numbers in brackets by each offer title e.g (10/100). The first number indicates the number of times the offer has been used, the second number indicates the current offer limit, i.e. the number of times an offer can be claimed. The offer limit can be changed at any point, even after the offer has started.

Offer type

An offer is by default applied to a whole order. By changing the offer type you may instead apply the offer to either items from a particular category or a specific item.

Percent off

State a percentage reduction in price.

Free gift

State a free gift to be give away. You will be reminded of the free gift description when you receive an order notification.

The free gift does not automatically add another item to the order, it simply informs the customer that a free gift will be included with their order.

Limit (required)

This decides how many times the offer can be claimed before it stops. The limit can be changed at any point, even when the offer is running.

Expiry date

End an offer on a certain date.

Offer image

This image can be used to advertise the offer on your website or be featured in a newsletter generated with the Inzu newsletter application.

Prize winner

This option works in conjunction with the Inzu newsletter application and will include a prize claim link in your newsletters (if the offer is included in a newsletter). Each recipient of the newsletter will be notified if they have won or not. Only one winner will be selected. The winner is directed to a prize claim page to claim the prize for verification. You should state the prize on the offer image or elsewhere in the newsletter.

Prize claim URL

A prize claim URL should be stated if you include the prize winner option above. The URL refers to a page on your website where the prize is claimed.

Your prize claim page should retrieve two variables from the newsletters prize claim link ('id' and 'offer_id'). Sending this information with the users e-mail to the prize claim endpoint on Inzu will generate a message of confirmation.

The following PHP code example shows how this is done:

$data = array ( 'id' => $id, 'offer_id' => $offer_id, 'email' => $email);

$data = http_build_query($data);

$opts = array('http' =>

array(

'method' => 'POST',

'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',

'content' => $data

)

);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$result = file_get_contents('https://secure.inzu.net/newsletter/lottery_check.html', false, $context);

if ( $result == "confirmed" ) //Prize claimed by correct person!

You will be notified by e-mail if someone successfully claims the prize.

Offer code

The offer code is used to publicise the offer and is presented by the customer on checkout to claim the offer.

Tags

Tags can be used to link an offer to a product entry, ticket or any entry in the Inzu CMS.
