Returns

LoyaltyProgram LoyaltyProgram! — A LoyaltyProgram — the points engine's GROUP-scoped rule master: members EARN points on net merchandise spend (floor(base × earnRate.points ÷ earnRate.perMinor) — floor ONCE at the order level over the FINAL post-redemption discounted taxable bases, storedValue lines excluded) and REDEEM them as a PRE-TAX DISCOUNT at the step-2 position 4 (source=loyalty LINE entries — after manual → coupon → promotion; the taxonomy law: loyalty is a DISCOUNT, categorically NOT a tender — no loyalty tender type exists). currency is EXPLICIT + IMMUTABLE at birth (a group's orgs may differ in defaultCurrency — orders in another currency refuse the attach; FX = the deferral). Earn multipliers COMPOUND multiplicatively across three families — tier × active bonus window × MAX(matching predicate rows, never stacked) — each family ≤ 8 rows. Org participation is the canned-pool selection (organizationIds ABSENT = every org in the group). The effective window is half-open [startAt, endAt) — an EVALUATION gate, never FSM states. At most 8 ACTIVE per org group. Doom is -gated by non-doomed members (doom the members first); deactivate stays FREE. Tier ASSIGNMENT is a manual member edit v1 (the auto-evaluation sweeper is a NAMED deferral); points expiry/transfer, redemption caps, ecom/non-sale loyalty and fraud velocity are the NAMED deferrals.

Dry run

Add dryRun: true to the request envelope (extensions.at) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries dryRun: true, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
