Overview
Build a promotional offer for a single piece of content — typically a movie, episode, or other item available for one-time purchase or rental (TVOD). The wizard guides you through three steps.
:::tip At a Glance
Who is this for?
Marketing or monetization team members running promotions on individual content items.
When do I use this?
When you want to discount a specific piece of content — e.g. "Rent this movie for $0.99" or provide a batch of redeemable codes for a title.
What will happen?
A transactional offer is created and tied to a specific content item. Depending on the configuration, it generates promotion codes that customers can redeem for discounted access.

Prerequisites
- You must be signed in with a role that has monetization permissions

Steps
The wizard has three steps.
Step 1: Select Content
Search for and attach the offer to a specific content item.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Content Type | The kind of content — Video, Series, Bundle, Audio, etc. |
| Search | Type a title to search. Results appear as you type |
| Selected | The chosen content item, shown with its title |
- Choose a Content Type from the dropdown
- Start typing the content title in the search field
- Click a result to select it — the selected item appears below the search field
- To change the selection, remove it and search again
:::info
The search queries your content library and returns results matching the title. Only published content of the selected type is shown.

Step 2: Pricing & Codes
Configure the promotional codes for this offer.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Prefix | A short string prepended to all generated codes (e.g. SUMMER) |
| # of Codes | How many unique codes to generate |
| Multi-use | Whether each code can be redeemed more than once |
The system generates codes automatically based on the prefix and count. You can download the full list of generated codes as a file after the offer is saved.
Step 3: Availability
Schedule when the offer is active. See Set Offer Availability for details.
Summary Panel
A live summary appears on the right side showing the selected content title, number of codes, multi-use setting, and schedule — all updating in real time.
Expected Behavior
- You cannot proceed past Step 1 without selecting a content item.
- Completed steps show a green checkmark in the progress bar.
- You can click back to any completed step to make changes.
- Codes are generated on save, not during the wizard.
Flow
If Something Goes Wrong
- No search results? → Check the content type dropdown. The search is scoped to the selected type. Also confirm the content exists and is published.
- Can't proceed past content selection? → A content item must be selected before the Next button becomes active.
