Steps
Note that Open Loyalty is now offered as a hosted SaaS/API platform (current docs at help.openloyalty.io) rather than the older self-hosted open-source project; build against the current reference, not legacy readthedocs pages.
POST /api/admin/login_check with admin credentials to receive a JWT bearer token and refresh_token.
Store and reuse the token, refreshing it via /api/token/refresh before expiry rather than re-authenticating on every request.
POST /api/{storeCode}/member with a nested customer object (email, firstName, lastName, etc.) to create a new member, which triggers a registration webhook.
GET /api/{storeCode}/member/{member} to confirm the profile, including points balance and current tier.
Known gotchas
Nearly every non-admin endpoint requires the storeCode path segment for its multi-tenant model; omitting it is a common integration error.
Login/login_check endpoints are rate-limited; integrations that re-authenticate per request instead of caching tokens will start failing under load.
The API payload field is still named customer even though the resource is called Member in the current UI/docs, an inconsistency to account for when mapping fields.
