Custom

When a customer signs up for an account with your store, you should submit a $signup event via the LoyaltyLion API. This tells us that the customer has upgraded from a guest account to a full membership, and it lets us give them points for signing up if you have that rule enabled. See the activities endpoint for exact details on the payload to submit.

When an order is placed, edited, paid, refunded, or cancelled, you should tell us via the orders endpoints.

• The merchant_id field is the ID of the order within your system
• The customer_id field is your customer identity
• The discount_codes field should contain all discount codes used with this order. Vouchers previously issued as rewards are marked as used within our system, and any unknown vouchers are ignored.

The LoyaltyLion SDK gives you tools to display a loyalty program UI to your customers.

To use it:

1. Install the SDK snippet on all pages on your store
2. Authenticate your customers with a server-side generated HMAC based on your customer identity
3. Initialize the SDK, using that HMAC when a customer is logged in

Once the core SDK is installed and customers are authenticated, you can add UI components, like the loyalty page to your store.

The last step is to set up some rewards for your customers to claim:

1. Create a new reward
2. In your store backend, create at least 500 unique voucher codes for use with that reward & import them into the reward you’ve created in LoyaltyLion
3. Validate that you’ve created working codes on your store by claiming a reward yourself and attempting to use it in your checkout.
