In ticketmatic, you can generate and download a predefined number of voucher codes without having to create any orders. This allows you to distribute the codes externally.

# Price type voucher

## Creating codes

Go to **Events → Manage other items → Vouchers**, and select the voucher for which you want to generate unique codes. Then click **Create codes** (top right).

Enter the number of codes you want to generate.

## Downloading codes

You can download the list of existing voucher codes via
**Events → Manage other items → Vouchers →** select the voucher for which you want to retrieve the codes → **Download codes**.

## Example

**Use case example:** You want to offer 100 customers a free ticket via a sponsor. They can choose from a limited selection of events.

- Create a new **price type voucher** and configure it to be usable only once.
- Create a new free **price type** and add it to the **pricelist(s)** of the relevant events, or as an **event-specific price** for a particular event.
- Link the new price type voucher to the new price type using a **price condition**.
- On the configuration page of the price type voucher, **generate 100 unique codes** as described above.
- **Download** the codes and send them to the sponsor for distribution. Each customer will be able to use the code once.

Next, enter the **number** of codes you want to generate along with the **amount** to assign to each voucher code.

This allows you, for example, to issue 20 gift cards worth €100 each to your sponsors.

With this method, ticketmatic will not track who owns the voucher or when it was created. Only its potential usage can be traced.
