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.
This method doesn’t return any custom errors, but may return standard errors. Learn more about standard Wix errors.
