Create Shared Offers

Shared Offers allow you to create a single offer that can contain multiple items, with all items sharing the same configuration settings (pricing, billing frequency, shipping, etc.). This is ideal for bundled items or when you want to offer multiple items with identical terms.

Prerequisites

Access to the Vrio admin panel
Items already created in your Items catalog
Understanding of your desired billing and pricing structure

Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Navigate to Offers

From the main navigation, click Offers
Click the Add Offer button in the top right

2. Configure Basic Offer Settings

In the "Add New Offer" modal, complete the following fields:

Required Fields:

Name: Enter a descriptive name for your offer (e.g., "Monthly Shared Offer")
Offer Type: Select Recurring for subscription-based offers or One Time for single purchases
Offer Product Type: Choose Shared (this enables the shared offer functionality)

Additional Settings:

Charge Frequency: Select how often customers will be billed
- Options include various timeframes
- For recurring offers, this determines the billing cycle
Active: Check this box to make the offer immediately available
Notes: Add any internal notes for reference (optional)

3. Submit Initial Offer Creation

Click Submit to create the basic offer structure. You'll see a success message: "Offer successfully added"

4. Add Items to Your Shared Offer

After creation, you'll be taken to the offer edit page. To add items:

Navigate to the Items section in the left sidebar
Click Add Item button
In the "Add New Item For Offer" modal:

  - Digital items (e.g., "Digital + Print", "Free Trial")
  - Service items (e.g., "Insureship", "Premium")
  - Gift cards
  - And many more
