Hi,
We’re currently using the Square Orders API and Payments API to manage orders and payments. At the time of placing an order through the Orders API, we attach the customer to the order.
We’d like to clarify the following:
After a successful payment is made via the Payments API, if the customer is enrolled in the Loyalty Program, will loyalty points be automatically accumulated? Or do we need to explicitly call the Loyalty API’s /accumulate endpoint to award points for that order?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, if your application uses the Orders API to process orders and the customer is enrolled in the Loyalty Program, you can use the Loyalty API’s AccumulateLoyaltyPoints endpoint to compute the points earned on a purchase and add them to the buyer’s loyalty account. You need to provide the order ID in the AccumulateLoyaltyPoints request, and the Loyalty API will use the information in the order to compute the loyalty points.
