Once rewards are set up:

2. On redemption, they’ll see fulfillment details (example: “Funds will go to verified reforestation partners”).
3. Rewards are tracked in real time and synced with the customer’s account.

5. Impact Tracking (Customer Account Extension)

A key feature of GoodAPI’s integration is the Impact Hub and Customer Profile Extension, connected to the customer's account.

• Customers can view total impact made on their profile:
• • Example: 16 trees planted, 31 bottles removed.
• Impact Hub shows:
• • Project details (tree planting, plastic collection)
  • Stories, images, and content from the projects
  • Real-time updates after each redemption

This provides transparency and keeps customers engaged with the positive impact they are creating.

Summary

• Manually add rewards in LoyaltyLion with provided details.
• Customers can redeem and track impact in real time through their Customer Profile and Impact Hub.

With this integration, your brand can turn loyalty points into meaningful environmental impact keeping customers engaged and building a story of sustainability around every purchase.
