# About the Benefit Programs API

The Wix Benefit Programs API enables you to create and manage benefit programs. Benefit programs allow you to issue credits to visitors which can be exchanged for rewards, products, or services. You can create different types of benefit programs for different visitors. For example, a multi-tiered loyalty program, with different rewards and prices for different membership levels.

With the Wix Benefit Programs API, you can:
- Create and manage templates for benefit programs.
- Enroll visitors in benefit programs.
- Redeem benefits for visitors enrolled in benefit programs.

> **Note:** The [Wix Loyalty Program API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/loyalty-program/program/introduction.md) provides similar functionality that's less complex, but more limited. 

## Before you begin
It's important to note the following points before starting to code:
- Sites using this API must install the Pricing Plans app.
