What could be the reason your Customer List file was NOT uploaded properly?

Check below for common reasons that prevent you from correctly uploading customer information into Vouchery.io

How to make sure your CSV Excel file is separated by a correct delimiter?

Depending on your Excel's settings, your default delimiter (separator) may either be using semicolons (;) or commas (,) to separate cells information in a CSV file. This can either cause file upload issues or cluster all the field values into the "identifier" column A because Vouchery.io platform uses commas (,) as the default delimiter/separator.

Step 1: Open a new empty spreadsheet in Excel: New > Blank Workbook

Step 2: Go to the Data tab and select 'From Text':

Step 3: Select the file you want to open

Step 5: Click "Finish" and Save the file.
