# What is an Offer and how do I add it?

## Acknowledge provider offers without recommending; customize visibility and duration.

Some providers offer free or discounted services for new adopters—like a free first exam or a training class. These offers help adopters but may not rise to the level of a full recommendation. Now, shelters can **acknowledge provider offers** without marking them as recommended.

You can customize how providers appear to adopters by selecting whether you **recommend** them, **add an offer**, or **do both**.

---

### What Offer Types Can I Add?

You can choose from:

- **Free First Exam**
- **Free Training Class**
- **50% Off Training**
- **Custom Offer** *(free text)*

Offer durations available: 3 Days, 7 Days, 14 days, 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days, 6 Months, 1 Year

---

### Provider Status Options

Each provider can be assigned one of the following statuses:

| Status | Shown in Parent App? | Recommended Badge? | Offer Shown? |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Recommended Only** | ✅ Yes | ❤️ Yes | ❌ No |
| **Recommended & Offer** | ✅ Yes | ❤️ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| **Offer Only** | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| **Blocked** | ❌ No | ❌ No | ❌ No |

 

### How to Add an Offer

1. **Find the provider** in your dashboard.
2. Click into their provider card.
3. Under **Offers**, check the box for “Pick Offer.”
4. Use the dropdown to select one:
   
     - Free First Exam
     - Free Training Class
     - 50% Off Training
     - Custom offer *(staff entry only)*
5. Choose the **Offer Duration** (e.g., 30 days, 6 months).
6. Select whether or not you want to also mark this provider as **Recommended**.
7. Click **Save**.

Your selections will now appear in the Pet Parent App under the provider listing.

---

### 🔍 How Offers Appear in the Pet Parent App

- Offers are shown by **category**, so if a vet also offers training, both options will appear.
- If no recommendation is selected, the offer still displays, but without the “Recommended” badge.
- Training offers appear under the **Training** category only.

---

### 🧹 How to Remove an Offer or Provider

1. Return to the provider card.
2. Click **Remove**.
3. A warning will appear:  
   **“Do you want to remove this from your provider list?”**
   
     - **Yes**: All selected values will reset to blank/default.
     - **No**: The provider card remains unchanged.

---

### 🔁 Reuse and Flexibility

This process works for **vets, trainers, and any local provider type** in your dashboard. Simply repeat the steps for each category as needed.
