How It Worksβ
- Points campaigns define when and how much balance is awarded β per purchase, per custom event, or by trigger.
- Points or wallet credits are posted to the customer's balance, with an optional activation delay before they become spendable.
- Customers can burn their balance via cashback at checkout, rewards catalog redemption, coupons, or donation.
- Tiers optionally multiply earning rates for higher-tier customers.
- Expiration policies remove unused balance after a configurable period to manage program liability.
API integrationβ
When creating or simulating a cart (POST /carts or POST /carts/simulate), use the boolean flag apply_points in the payload to control whether that transaction evaluates points/wallet campaigns (default is usually true).
Earning methodsβ
Loyal Guru supports two balance modes, set at the company level during onboarding:
| Mode | Balance type | Display |
|---|---|---|
points | Integer points | "150 pts" |
money | Monetary wallet | "β¬8.30" |
Both methods use the same campaigns, lifecycle, and API. The difference is in how balance is displayed and how effect values are expressed. See Earning Methods for the full reference.
