Program analytics
The Program ROI and Loyalty Performance dashboards show program performance and participation data.
You can choose how to define a redeeming customer:
Customers who made a purchase using a loyalty reward: A customer is considered a redeemer if they made at least one purchase that includes a loyalty discount code in the order details.
Customers who made a purchase within 24 hours of redeeming a loyalty reward: A customer is considered a redeemer if they complete a purchase within 24 hours of making a redemption. We recommend choosing this option if you are using a POS loyalty interface. To learn more about POS, go to Omnichannel: Store Associate Managed Loyalty (POS loyalty interface).
Please note:
If you switch from one redeemer definition to another, it will take up to 24 hours for the performance dashboards to update the displayed data.
Integrations
API Key and GUID
When installing Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals on your eCommerce platform or integrating with a third-party application, your Loyalty & Referrals API Key and Global Unique Identifier, or GUID are required to properly sync your account and data.
Webhook URL
Available for:
Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals Premium and Enterprise plans.
This is the URL where Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals events will be sent. These events can trigger transactional emails, supplement customer data in your CRM, or anything else you could imagine.
Once a URL is provided, Yotpo will send all event notifications to this webhook URL. If you wish to continue receiving notifications for specific events, a 200 response must be sent in return to the relevant event.
For example – a "points reminder" event can be sent to the webhook which, in turn, can be sent out a generically integrated ESP.
Please note:
You can add multiple webhooks and separate them with a semicolon (;)
This field only supports https:// type URL
Webhook Authentication
Available for:
Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals Premium and Enterprise plans.
You can choose to create an authentication key that will be checked and verified whenever events are sent to the URL defined in the Webhook URL field. This is aimed at providing an additional level of security for the webhook interactions between your store and Yotpo.
The key can be up to 255 characters long and does not include any character limitations.
You can also choose to leave this field blank - this will not harm webhook activity in any way.

To access your settings related to fraud prevention, do the following:
Log in to your Loyalty & Referrals admin.
Click Settings > Fraud Prevention.
There are several security settings you can choose to enable. For full details about security settings, please reach out to your CSM or customer support.
