Major Feature Announcement: Public Offers

by Posted on

Spin up your own online Pop-Up Shops with Public Offers!

Today, we’d like to introduce an exciting new feature to the Propago Platform. Public Offers is the online storefront equivalent of a stand-up or pop-up shop. With this new feature, you can create standalone product offerings that can be accessed by people who aren’t users of your portal.

Each Public Offer has its own unique URL which then requires email verification to access the Offer. You may not want just anyone to be able to place an order for a Public Offer, and that’s why there are options for restricting access and orders.

You can restrict access by limiting the email domains that are allowed (for example, only work email domains) and/or giving the Public Offer a passcode. You can also place order limits such as single-order per email, limited component numbers, and limited order totals.

Just like with standard Offers, orders placed for Public Offers are put on hold until the Offer ends or the orders are manually released. Also, payments are automatically deferred, making ordering as easy as can be. All of this makes Public Offers a powerful tool for your clients to drum up orders for a special event or seasonal offering.

Reach beyond your user base and collect orders from your clients’ extended connections with Public Offers!

Key Features of Public Offers

  • Create special product kits that can be accessed outside of the portal with a unique URL.
  • Validate emails to allow access to the Public Offer.
  • Set a timeframe for the Public Offer to be active.
  • Process all orders at once when the Public Offer ends or when manually released.
  • Place limits on components, quantities, order totals, etc.
  • Optionally limit a Public Offer to single-use per unique email.
  • Optionally limit a Public Offer access to only certain email domains.
  • Optionally give the Public Offer a passcode restriction.

How It Works

Public Offers are a new version of Offers and can be created with a new suite of settings in the Offer details.

To create a Public Offer:

  • First, create an Offer by going to Part / Offers.
  • Click Add and fill in the necessary information.
  • Click Save.
  • In the Offer’s Basic Information page, set the Make Public setting to “Yes”. This will open up new setting options.

  • Optionally, use the Public Code setting to set up a passcode to restrict usage.
  • Optionally, use the domain validation setting to restrict what email domains can access the Public Offer.
  • Click Save once done setting up your Public Offer.

Then, simply share the URL for your Public Offer and your client can start spreading your offer and collecting orders!
