How to import voucher codes from file?

Anyone, who has started an advertising campaign in own online store knows, that voucher codes are awesome tool for increase sales and income. Very often we want to organize actions in other webpages like livingsocial, groupon, mydeal etc. and we get listed special codes form this sites.  Customer after buying there some stuff gets one idividual code from voucher codes list. We must add all of listed vouchers to our shop system, but there is a little problem: what to do when there are hundred of codes on list?

How does it looks in Prestashop system?

In prestashop we can generate one voucher code per one request. It's problematic, because we spend much time in back office, only for adding voucher codes. Moreover, it is really tedious.  Simple measures say that the addition of about 100 discount codes with advanced specification take about 5 hours!  It's ridiculous to spend 5 hours on adding a discount code in prestashop back office. All of this is by the fact that we can't import voucher codes from files in Prestashop back office. But we create a special module:  Import Voucher from CSV .  Our module can import a thousand codes listed in some file (CSV or other).
