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 or through the Wix App Market. 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. 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() function.
To temporarily pause your loyalty program you must follow three steps:
earnPoints() functions and switch off all the "Earn Points" and "Rewards" toggles in the Loyalty Program dashboard.Note: Only visitors with Manage Loyalty permissions can activate a loyalty program. You can override the permissions with the wix-auth elevate() function.
This function requires elevated permissions and runs only on the backend and on dashboard pages.
