OpenAPI Specification

olo-accounts-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Olo Promotions Accounts API
  description: The Olo Promotions Specification defines the HTTP contract that a third-party promotions / loyalty provider implements so Olo can validate and redeem coupons and loyalty rewards, accrue loyalty points, and manage loyalty accounts during the Olo ordering flow. Olo acts as the client and calls the provider-hosted endpoints described here. Requests are authenticated with an HMAC-SHA256 signature computed over the request URL concatenated with the raw request body, encoded as URL-safe base64 without padding (or with HTTP Basic for key-based auth). This specification is published at https://developer.olo.com/docs and modeled directly from Olo's official open-source Promotions SDK (github.com/ololabs/promotions-sdk).
