  2. Issuer - In case you want to restrict the offer to online payments from a specific bank, select the bank name from the list. Otherwise, do not select any bank. For this example, since the offer is applicable for all blanks, we will not select a bank.

In the Offer Validity tab, set how long the offer should be valid and how you want to handle the payment failure situations:

  1. Starting On - Select the Starts Immediately checkbox for the offer to come into effect immediately. Alternatively, you can select the date and time the created Offer should become active.

    • Do not allow payment to go through: The payment has failed.
    • Allow customer to pay without availing offer: The payment is allowed even though the set validations are not met. However, the Offer is not applied to the bill amount. The customer will be charged the entire order amount. For this example, we will allow payments to go through.
