Kind Read API call
Method GET or POST
URL https://app.bubblehouse.com/api/v20230601/<shop>/CustomerBalance3
Authentication Customer TokenShop Token
You have a choice of making this call from your server using a shop token and specifying a customer ID, or making this call from a web browser/app using a customer token you have generated on the server.

This endpoint provides comprehensive information about a customer's loyalty status, including points balance, tier status, and available rewards. It's the primary method for retrieving customer loyalty data for display in your application.

Use the optional parameters to control which data is included:

  • Omit include_unused_rewards for faster responses when rewards aren't needed
  • Only set include_full_program=true when rendering full loyalty program pages

Redemption Limits Structure

Redemption limits control how many points customers can redeem within specific time periods. The response includes:

  • redemption_limit - The effective limit currently applied to this customer
  • global_redemption_limit - The default limit for all customers
  • tiers[].redemption_limit - Tier-specific limits (only when include_full_program=true)

When a tier has its own redemption limit, it completely overrides the global limit for customers in that tier.

Input

  • customer CustomerIdentity1 required if using a shop token

    A customer to operate upon, when using a shop token.

    If you're using a customer token and decide to pass this field (which we do not recommend), it must match the customer from the token.

  • include_unused_rewards boolean optional

    If true, the return value will include unused_rewards property.

  • include_full_program boolean optional

    If true, the return value will include information for rendering an entire loyalty program: sources, offers, tiers, milestones.

Output

See CustomerBalanceResult3.
