¶ Use Case

The Create Voucher Program endpoint allows you to create a voucher program.

¶ Authorization

The Create Voucher Program endpoint requires an access_token using the client credentials grant to organizations.voucher_programs scope or using authorization_code to organizations.voucher_programs.delegated scope.

If an application follows third party authentication, this endpoint requires organizations.voucher_programs.aggregator scope with the grant type as client_credentials.
