# Introduction

The Loyalty Transactions API allows you to retrieve transactions related to account activity in your site's loyalty program.

With the Loyalty Transactions API, you can:
- [Query transactions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-loyalty-v2/transactions/query-loyalty-transactions.md) to retrieve a list of loyalty transactions.
- [Get transaction details](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/api-reference/wix-loyalty-v2/transactions/get-loyalty-transaction.md) for individual transactions.

Transactions are created when loyalty accounts perform various actions:
- Earning points by making purchases.
- Redeeming points for rewards.
- Adjusting points balances.
- Refunding points for previously redeemed rewards.
- Points expiration.

To use the Loyalty Transactions API, import `{ transactions }` from the `wix-loyalty.v2` module:

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

## Before you begin

It's important to note the following points before starting to code:
- Transactions are read-only. You cannot create or modify transactions through this API.
- The site must have a loyalty program set up to use this API.
## Terminology

- **Transaction:** A record of an action that affects a loyalty account's point balance.
- **Earning transaction:** A transaction that increases an account's point balance, typically from a purchase.
- **Redemption transaction:** A transaction that decreases an account's point balance, usually when claiming a reward.
- **Adjustment transaction:** A manual change to an account's point balance, often for customer service purposes.
- **Refund transaction:** A transaction that reverses a previous redemption, returning points to the account.
- **Expiration transaction:** A transaction that removes points from an account due to the loyalty program's expiration policy.
