Cardlytics

Cardlytics is a commerce media platform that uses first-party purchase data from its financial-institution partners to help advertisers reach consumers inside banking apps with card-linked offers and measurable, closed-loop attribution. Advertisers plan, launch, and measure card-linked campaigns through Ads Manager and advertiser APIs, while banks and neobanks (publishers) embed Merchant Offers and the Cardlytics Rewards Platform into their digital channels via publisher APIs and SDKs. The company also operates the Dosh card-linked network and the Bridg offline purchase-intelligence business, giving advertisers person-level measurement across online and in-store spend. Cardlytics is a public company (NASDAQ: CDLX) and its platform is an enterprise, partnership-based product rather than a self-service developer API.

Cardlytics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Commerce Media, Card-Linked Offers, and Purchase Intelligence.

Cardlytics’ developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, support, and 8 more developer resources.
