- If you are using the Orders API to manage orders, you provide the

An application might call this endpoint to show the points that a buyer can earn with the specific purchase.
For spend-based and visit-based programs, the tax_mode setting of the accrual rule indicates how taxes should be treated for loyalty points accrual.
