How can I change the validity of vouchers?

Voucher Types

All New Expiry Rule Options can be applied to Value Vouchers and Gift Certificates. They can be set up independently but have the same options to choose from. 

The page supports configuration for two distinct voucher types:
 

1. Gift Voucher Validity

• Used for gift vouchers that customers can redeem for a specific product
• Separate validity rules from Value Vouchers

2. Value Voucher Validity

• Used for N products and contains a defined Value for the customer to redeem in the checkout
• Independent configuration from Gift Vouchers

Common use case: Package deals, experience vouchers, specific tour tickets
 

Validity Start Date

We don’t offer multiple options for the Validity Start date. It will always be the date of purchase. 

Purchase date 

Default setting

• Voucher validity starts counting from the date of purchase
• Automatic calculation, no manual date setting needed

Expiry Rule Options

1. Duration after the issue date

• Voucher expires after a specific time period from issue date
• Configurable in: Years, Months, or Days
• Input field allows any numeric value
• Example: "3 months" means voucher expires 3 months after issue date

2. End of the Xth calendar year from the issue date

• Voucher expires at the end of a calendar year
• Input field allows any numeric value
• Example: If issued on "Aug 15, 2025" and set to "2nd calendar year", expires Dec 31, 2026
• Useful for annual validity cycles

3. Fixed expiry date

• Voucher expires on a specific calendar date regardless of issue date
• Date picker for selection
• Use case: Campaign vouchers, seasonal promotions with hard end dates

4. No expiry

• Voucher never expires
• Must comply with local regulations
• Use with caution based on legal requirements
