Offer Configuration
The offer is the one that defines the conditions that a specific credit will be governed by and where the largest number of configurations are housed. MO's offer configurator is composed of broad and granular parameters that allow our clients to create tailor-made products and aim them to different segments of users.
Offer configurations
The client defines the product configuration. Our team configures it via command and it takes up to 4 hours for it to be live in the project.
To configure your new offer, there are several options to choose from. Please review each option to better understand how it can be used to tailor your offer.
General settings

- Description: Serves as an additional layer of information, complementing the name to provide nuanced details about the offer.
- Maximum and minimum credit amounts: Specify the lowest and highest values users can request for a particular offer.
