LoyaltyLion has support for Magento 1. You still install LoyaltyLion via Magento as normal, however you will need to handle the frontend implementation of the SDK yourself.
Magento 1.x hit end-of-life in June 2020. We do not accept new Magento 1.x signups.

​
Understand 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
We don’t modify your database schema, add cron jobs, or modify customer data within your database. This minimizes the risk of incompatibility between LoyaltyLion and other modules.

​
Install Magento 1
