In this section, we present some “real world” examples that can be enabled through the Thank You Points solution. Keep in mind that this section doesn’t cover all use cases.

A Merchant wants to encourage customers to make purchases during off-peak seasons. With Thank You Points, they can offer discount rewards to customers during these seasons in order to increase sales.
A Merchant looking to expand their customer base can utilize Thank You Points as a way to reach a wide audience of eligible cardholders who can be converted to new customers.
The following illustrates how Thank You Points work at a high level :
A customer provides a card to the Point of Sale (POS) system for a purchase. The POS then checks to see whether a card is eligible for Thank You Points, and then sends a request through the Global Payments API (GPAPI) to find and return any available rewards. The POS then prompts the customer to either pay with rewards or to proceed as a regular sale. If the customer chooses to pay using Thank You Points, the POS then sends a request to the GPAPI to redeem the points. A confirmation is then sent from the GPAPI to the POS.
The GPAPI then processes an authorization for the remaining balance to the POS, and sends back a confirmation. The POS then completes the purchase and prints a receipt for the customer.
