POST /v2/loyalty/rewards

Creates a loyalty reward.

In the process, the endpoint does following:

  • Uses the reward_tier_id in the request to determine the number of points to lock for this reward.
  • If the request includes order_id, it adds the reward and related discount to the order.

After a reward is created, the points are locked and not available for the buyer to redeem another reward.
