LoyaltyLion has full support for Magento 1, both the community and enterprise editions. This is the guide for Magento 1.x.

Understanding the LoyaltyLion extension

The LoyaltyLion extension for Magento 1 has three primary responsibilities:

• We add a single frontend block to your layout, which loads the LoyaltyLion SDK to provide customer UI
• We add observers to your order and customer lifecycle, to keep LoyaltyLion in sync as this data changes
• We add an additional REST API endpoint to manage price rules and rewards
