PREFERRED PATRON™ API IS A RESTFUL SOLUTION
For businesses that want to connect Preferred Patron™ with other systems in their operation, our REST API provides a platform-independent integration layer built around JSON data exchange and standard HTTP methods.
Your development team can incorporate loyalty functionality into an ecommerce site, website, mobile application, point-of-sale workflow, or another system where you have source-code access. Spend-based or visit-based point accruals, reward redemptions, and gift card processing can all be integrated while Preferred Patron™ continues to manage the loyalty rules, marketing logic, and customer data behind the scenes.
This makes the API a strong option for teams that want to extend loyalty capabilities into their existing technology stack instead of forcing staff and customers into disconnected manual workflows.
ABOUT THE API
The REST API allows software developers to perform CRUD operations on Preferred Patron™ resources such as members, rewards, offers, and transactions. Because the interface follows common web-service conventions, it can be consumed from a wide range of compatible platforms and programming environments.
That gives businesses more flexibility to unify loyalty marketing, redemptions, and stored-value workflows with the systems they already rely on every day.
