Creating a Promotion (Time, Frequency, & Schedule) in New Back Office

​

By setting up a promotion “container,” you can control exactly when your offers start, end, or repeat.

​

How to Start: Creating a New Offer & Promotion

1. Navigate to Products in the left navigation bar and select Promotions.
2. Click the New Offer button in the top right corner.
3. In the Promotion Name field, either select an existing promotion or type a new name to create a brand-new container (e.g., “Valentine’s Day”).
4. Once a new name is entered, click Create “[Name]” to reveal the timing and frequency controls.

​

Standard Dates & Frequency Settings

• Start date: Select the day the deal begins. By default, it starts at 12:00 AM on that day.
• End date (optional): By default, the promotion runs through the end of that day (11:59 PM). Leave the end date blank to create an evergreen promotion that runs indefinitely.
• Frequency: Choose how often the deal repeats.
  • Once: A standard promotion that runs continuously from start to finish.
  • Daily, Weekly, or Monthly: Enables recurring logic for specific days or times.

​

Defining Start and End Times

1. Click into the Starts or Ends date field.
2. Toggle on the Include Time box at the bottom of the calendar picker.
3. Select the desired hour and minute.

​

Recurring Schedules

​

Setting a Daily Schedule (e.g., 7PM – 9 PM)

1. Set Frequency to Daily.
2. Enter the Start date.
3. Enter the active window in the Time Each Day fields (e.g., Start: 07:00 PM, End: 09:00 PM).
4. The promotion will now automatically activate and deactivate during those hours every day within your date range.

​

Setting a Weekly Schedule (e.g., Thursdays Only)

1. Set Frequency to Weekly.
2. In the Label field, select the specific days of the week the deal should apply (e.g., “Friday”).
3. Enter the Start date.
4. Entering a Time Each Day is optional. If no time is selected, the promotion will run the full day.

​

Setting a Monthly Schedule (e.g., End of Month Only)

1. Set Frequency to Monthly.
2. Click into the Days of the Month field to choose your active dates:
   • First/Last of the month: Automatically triggers on the start or end of every month.
   • Specific Dates: Select numbered days (e.g., “Day 15”) for mid-month specials.
3. Entering a Time Each Day is optional. If no time is selected, the promotion will run the full day.

​

Important Notes for Success

• Default timing: Start dates default to 12:00 AM (beginning of day). End dates default to 11:59 PM (end of day). This applies to newly created promotions — existing promotions are not affected.
• Scheduling Priority: If you set a recurring frequency (like Daily), Vori will prioritize the Frequency and Time Each Day settings to determine when the deal is active at the register.
• Updating Active Promos: You can edit an active promotion at any time to extend its duration or change its recurring schedule
