Issue a Voucher
The Issue Vouchers function allows you to issue free vouchers to customers. When issuing a free voucher, no money is being taken through the Soda system, but the customer is sent a valid voucher which can be used in the same way as a paid-for voucher. You will not be charged any commission on free vouchers.
There are three types of free vouchers that you can issue:
Free Voucher: Customer is being issued a complimentary voucher
Offline Voucher: The voucher has been paid for through another source (in the venue itself, for example)
Ticket/Booking Purchase Exchange: Customer is being offered a voucher in exchange for their E-ticket or Booking
