Applies to: Loyalty API | Orders API
Learn how to use the Orders API to create orders and the Loyalty API to manage loyalty accounts and redeem loyalty points.
The Loyalty API cannot be used to create a loyalty program, so start by configuring a loyalty program in the Square Dashboard with the following settings:
- An "amount spent" accrual rule - Earn one point for each dollar spent.
- A "discount on entire sale" reward tier - Redeem 10 points for 10% off the entire sale.
After the program is set up, you explore Loyalty API features such as creating a loyalty account for a buyer, adding points to the buyer's account, and redeeming points for a discount on the sale.
