Overview
Marigold Loyalty’s Dynamic Rewards allow customers the ability to dynamically reward a member with a variable discount based on their point balance (versus a static reward). Through the use of the Redeem Dynamic Reward API, brands can calculate the cost of the rewards and apply an applicable discount, debit the points from a member based on the number of points converted to a discount, or in the case of a return, credit the points previously deducted. Note that the variable points and corresponding rewards are set up by the customer outside of the Loyalty product.
Note: Loyalty’s Dynamic Rewards and its related API are meant to provide the capability and mechanism to debit or credit metrics only. It is necessary for customers to define the metric to discount conversion rate, calculate the conversion rate, and apply the applicable discount to the transaction outside of the Loyalty Platform, such as within their systems, applications, Point of Sale, Web, or Mobile offerings.
