How Redemption Portals Work

1. Make merch: Work with your Creative Project Manager on what item(s) you want to offer.
2. Customize your portal: How do you want your storefront customized?  Is there a specific URL you would like to use?
   • We can upload a logo or graphic in the header, change colors for the text & buttons, and change the font.  More info on portal customization here.
   • Redemption portals default to allow one item to be redeemed per code.
     • Your program manager may update the order quantity to reflect a specified number of items the end user is able to select. 
3. Redemption codes:
   • Codes issued by you:  If you have an event or would like to issue codes for recognition purposes you are welcome to issue codes as needed.
     • To generate your own codes, follow the steps below:
       • From your dashboard: Click on "Edit Portal" for the redemption portal.
       • From the portal options drop-down menu, click on "Codes" 

         

       • In the "Generic-use Codes" section, enter the # of codes needed for your event. 

         

       • The codes will appear at the bottom of the page.  
       • Download the codes via CSV to insert into mail merges or distribute as needed
         • When a code has been crossed-out, it has been redeemed as is no longer active.
     • You may email/provide the link and code as needed to employees or clients.
     • Note:  Kotis will not have an account of who is given specific codes and will only be able to provide an overall list of codes that have been used or not.
   • Codes issued by Kotis:  Kotis has the ability to create a branded email with approved text, the portal link, and a one-time-use code all in one location.
   • We can also track who uses their codes and send reminders to those who have not.
     • Send us the emails and names of those receiving a code via excel or CSV. 
     •  You have the ability to customize the redemption email:
       • Subject line
       • Add a banner or logo
       • Text of the email body formatting: size, color, links, bold, italic, & underline.

       • 

4. Pick & Choose: Recipients will enter their code and choose their item (and size if needed!), enter their shipping address, and submit . 
5. Ship: Recipients will receive an order confirmation email and another email with tracking when their order ships.  All shipping charges are billed to the client.
