createAccount( )

Creates a loyalty account for one of a site's contacts.

The createAccount() function returns a Promise that resolves to the new loyalty account when it is created.

To create a new loyalty account, the customer must first be a site contact with a contact ID. The site must also have an active loyalty program before loyalty accounts can be created.

Note: Only visitors with Manage Loyalty permissions can create a loyalty account.

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user’s permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
