Redeem loyalty reward

POST /v2/loyalty/rewards/{reward_id}/redeem

Redeems a loyalty reward.

The endpoint sets the reward to the REDEEMED terminal state.

If you are using your own order processing system (not using the Orders API), you call this endpoint after the buyer paid for the purchase.

After the reward reaches the terminal state, it cannot be deleted. In other words, points used for the reward cannot be returned to the account.
