Auto Redemption (Redemptions 2.0)

​
  • A discount should be automatically queued up in the discount basket if the auto-redemption feature is enabled for the business.
  • The business can configure the auto-redemption strategy.
  • If a discount expires after being added to the discount basket, it is removed from the discount basket. When you make a call to the API, it validates the discounts added to the discount basket. If one or more discounts are found to be honored, expired, perished, or archived, the API returns an error message indicating that these discounts cannot be honored. The API lists the invalid discounts in the discount_basket_items object with a message stating that the discount is invalid and returns a null value in the discount_details object.

Note: Auto-redemption currently supports only subscriptions and non-points-based rewards.
