Frequently asked questions
- Can I run multiple offers at the same time?
Yes, you can! For example, try setting up a BOGO offer for all customers, and an additional 30% off the basket offer for new customers. This will give customers a good reason to choose your store, particularly those who have never tried it, as they will benefit from the two offers.
- Can I run both ads and offers at the same time?
Yes, you can! Running ads and offers is a great way to boost your brand to the top of the feed, and attract customers with savings.
- Who is paying for offers?
Offers work just as they would at your store. You will pay no additional fees to Uber per offer or redemption. Uber will calculate the service fee based on the post-promo amount.
The only additional cost to the merchant is the food cost related to the offer when running Buy One, Get One Free or Free Item offers, and the discount on goods when running % off item, % off basket, £ off basket or £0 Delivery Fee offers.
- How are offers being billed?
% off item, % off basket, £ off basket or £0 Delivery Fee offers - the promotion amount (discount in absolute or %) will be automatically deducted from your payout.
Buy One, Get One Free, Free Item offers - when you give the item for free, you will not be billed anything.
