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. See contacts to learn more about a site's contacts. The site must also have an active loyalty program before loyalty accounts can be created. See the activateLoyaltyProgram() function to activate a site's loyalty program.

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