What Data Is Captured
LoyaltyMatch receives the transaction details needed to award rewards accurately and understand customer behavior.
-
Transaction subtotal
Used to power points calculations and reward logic.
-
Customer identifier
Email address or phone number to match the transaction to a loyalty member.
-
Location or venue ID
Supports multi-location reporting and location-aware reward configurations.

Why it matters
The integration is built to keep data collection focused on what drives rewards and insight. That means your loyalty program can run in the background while still giving you a clearer picture of spending patterns, repeat behavior, and location performance.
The result is a lightweight integration that is easy to manage and still powerful enough to support real-time engagement and reporting.
