Open Loyalty: The Headless, API-First Engine for Modern Loyalty Programs

Open Loyalty is a headless, API-first loyalty platform that lets you build highly customized, gamified loyalty programs across any touchpoint. With a microservices-style, event-driven core and rich REST APIs, it decouples loyalty logic from channels, so you can orchestrate points, tiers, challenges, rewards, and referrals across web, app, POS, and partner ecosystems.

Built for composable stacks, Open Loyalty provides ready-made building blocks – from point rules and digital wallets to achievements and vouchers – that your teams can combine into unique loyalty experiences. Instead of adapting your strategy to a rigid platform, you keep full control over mechanics, data flows, and UX, while the engine processes transactions reliably at scale.

Build the Future of Gamified, Data-Driven Loyalty

Deliver loyalty experiences that go far beyond “points for purchases”. With Open Loyalty, you can design gamified programs, behavioral incentives, and partner rewards that integrate seamlessly into your commerce and product stack.

API-first & headless architecture

Open Loyalty exposes loyalty capabilities entirely through APIs and webhooks, making it easy to plug into existing eCommerce platforms, mobile apps, POS, and back-office systems without re-platforming.

Rich loyalty & gamification mechanics

Design any mix of points, tiers, missions, badges, challenges, referrals, and time-bound campaigns. Use a wide set of prebuilt mechanics to power both classic earn-and-burn programs and advanced gamified engagement.

Omnichannel & multi-touchpoint by default

Track and reward behavior across online and offline journeys – from in-store purchases and scans at POS to app usage, content engagement, referrals, and partner activities – all in a single loyalty profile.

Built for growth and experimentation

Iterate on rules, rewards, and segmentation without long development cycles. Run A/B tests, add new behaviors, and launch experiments safely, while keeping a stable loyalty core in production.

    Open Loyalty: Questions We Get Most Often

    Everything you need to know about using Open Loyalty as the engine behind a modern, omnichannel loyalty program – from architecture and integrations to timelines and migration.

    What is Open Loyalty used for?

    Open Loyalty is a headless, API-first loyalty engine that powers custom loyalty and gamification programs. It handles points, tiers, wallets, missions, vouchers, and referrals, and exposes them via APIs to embed loyalty into websites, apps, POS, and partner systems.

    Is Open Loyalty suitable for enterprise-scale programs?

    Yes. Open Loyalty is designed for organizations that need flexible, multi-touchpoint programs and deep integration with existing systems. Its API-first and event-driven approach makes it a good fit for complex retail, D2C, fintech, and platform use cases where loyalty is tightly connected to transactions and product usage.

    How does Open Loyalty fit into a composable architecture?

    Open Loyalty works as a specialized loyalty microservice in your composable stack. It focuses on loyalty logic and data, while you connect it to best-of-breed eCommerce, CMS, CRM, CDP, and analytics tools via APIs and webhooks. This keeps loyalty independent from frontends and channels, but tightly integrated into the customer journey.

    Can Open Loyalty integrate with my eCommerce, POS, CRM, or mobile app?

    Yes. Open Loyalty is built for integration. It offers REST APIs, webhooks, and event streams that allow you to connect it with eCommerce platforms, POS systems, CRM and marketing automation tools, mobile apps, and data platforms. We typically integrate it as part of a broader loyalty architecture that covers online and offline channels.

    How long does an Open Loyalty implementation take?

    Timelines depend on scope and complexity, but a focused MVP – with core mechanics, a few key integrations, and a limited set of journeys – can typically be launched within 8–14 weeks. Larger programs (multiple brands or countries, advanced gamification, deep POS integration) are often delivered in phases to reduce risk and start generating value earlier.

    Can you migrate us from an existing loyalty platform to Open Loyalty?

    Yes. We support full migration, including program redesign if needed, data mapping, customer and balance migration, and integration rebuilds. We aim to move you from a rigid, monolithic setup to a flexible Open Loyalty engine while preserving customer trust, minimizing downtime, and protecting ongoing campaigns.
