Activates a loyalty program.

The `activateLoyaltyProgram()` function returns a Promise that resolves when the status of the loyalty program is successfully changed to `"ACTIVE"`.

Before you begin, a Wix Loyalty Program must first be installed through your [dashboard](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Select%20Site&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https:%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fdashboard%2F%7B%7BmetaSiteId%7D%7D%2Floyalty-accounts/wizard/) or through the [Wix App Market](https://www.wix.com/app-market/loyalty). Initially when a loyalty program is installed, the status is set to `"DRAFT"`. You can change the program's status to `"ACTIVE"` with this function or through your [dashboard](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Select%20Site&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https:%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fdashboard%2F%7B%7BmetaSiteId%7D%7D%2Floyalty-accounts/wizard/). A site's customers can only earn or redeem points while the program status is `"ACTIVE"`.

This function updates only the status of a loyalty program, to make other updates to the program, use the [`updateLoyaltyProgram()`](wix-loyalty-v2/programs/updateloyaltyprogram) function.

To temporarily pause your loyalty program you must follow three steps:
1. Remove all [`earnPoints()`](wix-loyalty-v2/accounts/earnpoints) functions and switch off all the "Earn Points" and "Rewards" toggles in the [Loyalty Program dashboard](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Open%20Loyalty%20Program&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https://www.wix.com/dashboard/{{metaSiteId}}/loyalty-accounts/).
1. Hide the loyalty page from your site.
1. Delete the My Rewards page from the Member pages.
See [Pausing Your Loyalty Program](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-loyalty-program-pausing-your-loyalty-program) for more information.

>**Note:** Only visitors with **Manage Loyalty** [permissions](https://support.wix.com/en/article/roles-permissions-accessing-roles-permissions) can activate a loyalty program. You can override the permissions with the `wix-auth` [`elevate()`](wix-auth/elevate) function.

import { programs } from 'wix-loyalty.v2';

export async function myActivateLoyaltyProgramFunction() {

  const elevatedActivateProgram = wixAuth.elevate(programs.activateLoyaltyProgram)

  try {
    const myLoyaltyProgram = await elevatedActivateProgram();

    const name = myLoyaltyProgram.loyaltyProgram.name;
    const status = myLoyaltyProgram.loyaltyProgram.status;

    console.log('Success! The status of your loyalty program is:', status);

    return myLoyaltyProgram;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Updates the site's loyalty program.

The `updateLoyaltyProgram()` function returns a Promise that resolves when the loyalty program is updated.

With the `updateLoyaltyProgram()` function you can update the name of the loyalty program and the details of the collectible points unit. To activate the loyalty program use the [`activateLoyaltyProgram()`](wix-loyalty-v2/programs/activateloyaltyprogram) function.

>**Note:** Only visitors with **Manage Loyalty** [permissions](https://support.wix.com/en/article/roles-permissions-accessing-roles-permissions) can update a loyalty program. You can override the permissions with the `wix-auth` [`elevate()`](wix-auth/elevate) function.

The Loyalty Programs API allows you to activate and customize your loyalty program.

With the Loyalty Programs API, you can:
- [Activate](wix-loyalty-v2/programs/activateloyaltyprogram) your loyalty program.
- [Customize](wix-loyalty-v2/programs/updateloyaltyprogram) the name of the program, as well as the name and icon of the loyalty points unit.

To use the Loyalty Programs API, import `{ programs }` from the `wix-loyalty.v2` module. 

```javascript
import { programs } from 'wix-loyalty.v2';
```

## Before you begin

It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:
- A Wix Loyalty Program must first be installed through your [dashboard](https://www.wix.com/my-account/site-selector/?buttonText=Select%20Site&title=Select%20a%20Site&autoSelectOnSingleSite=true&actionUrl=https:%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fdashboard%2F%7B%7BmetaSiteId%7D%7D%2Floyalty-accounts/wizard/) or the [Wix App Market](https://www.wix.com/app-market/loyalty) before the Loyalty APIs can be used. 
- A loyalty program only works with certain apps, such as Wix Bookings, Wix Events, Wix Pricing Plans, Wix Restaurants, or Wix Stores. One of those must be installed on your site before the loyalty program can be used.

## Terminology

- **Program name:** Customizable name of the loyalty program.
- **Point:** The collectible unit of the program. Use `pointDefinition` to customize the name and icon of these loyalty points. The default name `”Points”` translates and adjusts to singular based on context. Since a customized name doesn’t adjust based on context it is recommended to use the plural, for example `”Stars”`.
