What is headless loyalty software?
Headless loyalty software is an API-first loyalty platform that enables any software application to integrate loyalty functionality via API. Headless loyalty software has mostly backend functions and is designed to process any type of loyalty transaction in a manner that is decoupled from the frontend, customer-facing environment. This means that the API will manage the logic, validation, redemption, and loyalty program tracking. However, the data to feed the loyalty program, for example, customer data, will be pulled from your backend (your CRM system or PIM system). In turn, the loyalty program and its data, for example, the number of points or available rewards, will be displayed on your frontend applications.
