At the bottom of The Basics, you are able to either set an expiration date or keep the voucher active indefinitely. You are also able to delay the start date of a voucher for a certain number of days by unchecking the box "This is active for use now". If you would like to set a certain number of days a voucher is valid for, instead of the expiration date, uncheck the box next to "This is valid until the set expiration date" and choose how long you would like the voucher to be valid for.
