Purpose
The Rewards API is designed to manage the inventory of rewards, including digital stock and bookings for services or experiences. It serves as a bridge between reward redemption processes and the actual fulfillment of those rewards, ensuring that users can redeem their earned credits or points for specific products or services efficiently and accurately.
Key Features
Product Catalog Management
Enables the addition, update, and deletion of items in the rewards catalog. This feature allows businesses to maintain an up-to-date and dynamic inventory of rewards, including descriptions, images, and stock levels.
Digital Stock and Inventory Control
Provides tools to manage the availability of digital goods and services, ensuring that inventory levels are accurately reflected in real-time. This is crucial for preventing over-redemption of limited items and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Booking and Reservation Systems
Facilitates the integration of booking systems for services or experiences, allowing users to redeem rewards for appointments, reservations, or event tickets directly through the platform. This feature includes scheduling, cancellations, and rescheduling functionalities.
Integration with Wallets API
