Exporting promotion codes
Before you begin
Ensure that you have an existing promotion with a redemption method that requires promotion codes. Your promotion must have promotion codes that are generated or populated in your store database.
To export promotion codes, you must have a promotion that uses one of the following types of promotion codes:- Simple system-generated unique promotion codes.
- Advanced system-generated unique promotion codes.
- Imported promotion codes.
- If Management Center is integrated with IBM Marketing Center, you can export a public promotion code. If Management Center is not integrated with IBM Marketing Center, you cannot export public promotion codes. When you export public promotion codes that include IBM Marketing Center metadata only a single public promotion code is included within the export file. If you are not including IBM Marketing Center metadata, you can export multiple public promotion codes within a file.
About this task
By default, promotion codes are exported into a CSV file format. You can configure the export
promotion codes function to export the codes in a compressed file format. To configure the export
function, you must edit the CompressPromotionCodeExportFile
property in the
promotions component configuration file. By changing the value of this property to
true, you change the file format for exported promotion codes to the
compressed file format.
You can also configure the export promotion codes function to export only a subset of the codes for a promotion. By default, the export functions exports all of the unused codes for a promotion. For more information about configuring promotion code export to export only a subset of codes, see exporting subsets of promotion codes.
Whether you want to export promotion codes with the default settings or configure the functions, use the following steps to export your promotion codes:
