# Create and Manage a Special Offer

This article explains how to design, create, and manage a Special Offer for your web store in the Publisher Dashboard. Alternatively, you can create and update a Special Offer using the [Special Offers API service](/../../api-reference/webstore/offers-v2/special-offers/introduction).

## Design a Special Offer

Before creating a Special Offer, you need to design it:

1. In the **Studio** section, go to **Offer Design** and click **Add New Design**.
2. Complete the following sections:
   * **Offer Settings**
     * **Name**: Enter a descriptive name for the design.
     * **Type**: Select Special Offer from the drop-down menu. The form updates to display all fields relevant to a Special Offer.
     * **External ID**: Enter an ID for this design.
     * **Free Offer Default Text**: Enter the text that you want to appear on offers marked as “free” (optional).
   * **Offer Assets**

     * **Background Image**: Upload or select a background image.
     * **Background Color**: Select a solid color or choose **Linear** to apply a gradient.
     * **Button Suffix Badge**: Add an image or JSON animation to highlight your call-to-action button.

     <Note>
       If you provide an external image URL, Appcharge saves and uses the URL as-is. Appcharge doesn't download, copy, upload, or host the image. If you use an external image URL, host the image on your own infrastructure and keep it available at the provided URL.

       We recommend uploading image files instead of using external URLs when possible. Appcharge hosts uploaded files on its CDN.
