Purpose

The Validate Transaction endpoint is used to validate a loyalty order at a client device (typically a POS or Kiosk terminal). The Loyalty Platform will evaluate the order and determine if the user meets eligibility requirements of any included Rewards and Offers. This request should be an exact mirror of what the client device expects to send when they actually claim the transaction when calling the update endpoint Loyalty API v1 - Update.

Response format

Success response body

• points <number>: this represents the number of loyalty points the user has. If the order has a status of “PENDING” and includes rewards, then this number already has those loyalty points temporarily deducted from total user’s loyalty points balance. If the order has a status of “CLAIMED” this is the final point balance of the guest after the order is completed.

• pointsEarned <number>: this represents the number of loyalty points the user has earned. If the order has a status of “PENDING”, then this number will always be 0 since we don’t update the guests earned loyalty points until the order is completed. If the order has a status of “CLAIMED” this is the total number of points that were earned in this order.

• pointsRedeemed <number>: this represents the number of loyalty points the user has redeemed. If the order has a status of “PENDING” and includes rewards, then this number is the total loyalty points temporarily deducted from total user’s loyalty points balance. If the order has a status of “CLAIMED” this is the final number of points that were deducted / burned in this order.
