Coupon codes as a reward

Important

Any code sent via this web hook doesn’t need to be created on merchant site. When Talkable needs more coupons — it always calls Create Coupon Web Hook. In this web hook Talkable just sends the information to merchant that coupon was given as the reward in case merchant want to store this infomation in its own database.

Incentive types

Incentives can be of 3 following general types.

• rebate — monetary reward, certain amount of money that should be paid out to a customer with a given email. Payment should be handled by the merchants’ payment systems.
• discount_coupon — discount coupon is issued to customer. This type of incentives is handled by Talkable.
• other — used when a campaign has a non-monetary rebate like “Free T-shirt” or “One Month Free”. This should be handled on the merchant’s side. More information on the reward is specified in incentive_description.
