Frequently asked questions

How does the Headless API fit with my existing LoyaltyLion dashboard?

You’ll still use the dashboard to configure rules, rewards, and tiers. The Headless API exposes this setup, allowing your developers to build fully custom UIs across web, apps, and POS.

Do I need a specific tech stack to use the Headless API?

No, it works with any headless framework (React, Vue, Next.js, etc.). We also provide a reference guide for Shopify Hydrogen to help teams get started quickly.

What data can I access through the API?

Developers can fetch program configuration, customer balances, activity history, and available rewards, as well as handle secure redemption flows.

Is the Headless API secure for customer data?

Yes, authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth (legacy token/secret isn’t supported), ensuring safe interactions across all channels.

Does headless loyalty impact site performance?

It improves performance since UI can be server-rendered.
