Wix Loyalty events are fired in your site's backend when certain events related to loyalty occur in your site's backend. You can write event handlers that react to these events. Event handler functions receive data that corresponds to the event that has occurred. Use event handlers to create custom responses to loyalty events.
Note: Backend events don't work when previewing your site.
To add a loyalty event handler, add an events.js file to the Backend section of your site if one does not already exist. All event handler functions for your site are defined in this file.
Event handler functions are defined using the following pattern:
For example, an event handler that handles loyalty account updates looks like this:
This API is subject to change. Bug fixes and new features will be released based on developer feedback throughout the preview period.
function wixLoyaltyImportsV1_onLoyaltyImportCreated(
event: LoyaltyImportCreated,
): void;export function wixLoyaltyImportsV1_onLoyaltyImportCreated(event) {
const eventId = event.metadata.id;
const entityId = event.entity._id;
