How to create and use Boxed Experiences
This article describes what Boxed Experiences are and how to create them.
What is a Boxed Experience?
Boxing an experience enables you to override the name and description of your own experience as well as other suppliers' experiences to better fit your company's brand image and messaging. Boxing is also a great way to make another supplier's product description more SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly.
In order to gain access to another supplier's experiences, you must be in a Marketplace partnership with them as a reseller.
Another way you can use a Boxed experience is to box your own experiences to create different versions of your experience. For example, a summer and a winter version of an experience. Boxed experiences can help you without having to update your experience description every season.

You can find the Boxed experience list by selecting Boxes on the right-hand side of your Experiences overview list.
