# About the Programs API

The Programs API allows a Wix user to activate their site's loyalty program and manage its details, like the point name and point icon. The loyalty program must be `"ACTIVE"` to start creating customer loyalty accounts and tracking their point balances.

With the Programs API, you can:
+ [Activate](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/loyalty-program/loyalty-program-management/program/activate-loyalty-program.md) or [pause](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/loyalty-program/loyalty-program-management/program/pause-loyalty-program.md) a loyalty program.
+ [Update](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/loyalty-program/loyalty-program-management/program/update-loyalty-program.md) the name and icon for the program's points.
+ [Retrieve](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/loyalty-program/loyalty-program-management/program/get-loyalty-program.md) a loyalty program.
+ [Enable](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/loyalty-program/loyalty-program-management/program/enable-points-expiration.md) or [disable](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/loyalty-program/loyalty-program-management/program/disable-points-expiration.md) points expiration in a loyalty program.

## Before you begin

It's important to note the following before starting to code:

+ A site must have the [Wix Loyalty Program](https://www.wix.com/app-market/loyalty) installed to use this API.
