Did You Know a new option in Public Offers enables you to generate and manage Private Codes?

New Setting: Private Codes for Public Offers

Public Offers already let you share an Offer with anyone who has the link. But sometimes you need to gate access a little tighter—without forcing every shopper to create a portal login. Private Codes give you the perfect middle ground: a lightweight pass‑code system that lets you auto-generate batches of unique codes that can be distributed, given an expiration date, activated and deactivated as needed.

Benefits to the Client

• Targeted distribution – Hand out codes to a specific list of people (event attendees, VIP prospects, employees, etc.) while keeping the offer invisible to everyone else.
• No user accounts required – Recipients just enter their email + code; they never touch the portal’s login screen.
• Instant code generation – Bulk‑create thousands of codes in one click and export them to CSV for email, postcard, or any other marketing campaign.

How It Works

1. Edit or create a Public Offer.
   1. In the back end, navigate to Part / Offers. Select an Offer to edit or click Add to create a new Offer.
   2. To enable public access, set Make Public to Yes.
2. In the Offer Information settings, set “Have a Private Code?” to Yes.
3. Click Setup Private Codes.
4. Click Generate Private Code Batch.
   1. Give the code batch a name.
   2. Enter the number of codes to generate in the Count field.
   3. Optionally, choose an expiration date for the batch. After the chosen date, the codes in the generated batch will no longer be valid.
5. Click Generate and you will see the newly generated batch aProducing Partnerear in the table.
6. Click the batch name to view the codes.
7. Download Codes (CSV) or copy them straight from the grid.
   1. You can also deactivate or reactivate codes from this view.
8. Send each recipient their code and the Public Offer URL.
   1. When they visit the link, they’ll first see the standard email verification prompt.
   2. After entering their email, they will receive an email with a confirmation code.
   3. The next page will ask them for both the conformation code and their private code.
   4. After inputing the two codes, they will be given access to the Public Offer page.

If the Single-Use setting has been enabled for the Public Offer, before allowing an order to be placed, the system verifies:

- • The email hasn’t already used this Public Offer **AND**
    
- • The private code hasn’t been redeemed.

Orders placed with a private code flow through fulfillment exactly like any other Public Offer order—no extra setup needed.
