Smile.io

Smile.io is a loyalty, rewards, and referrals platform for e-commerce brands (widely used on Shopify). Merchants run points programs, referral programs, and VIP tiers, and integrate them programmatically through the Smile.io REST API (base https://api.smile.io/v1). The REST API exposes customers and customer identities, points transactions and settings, points products and purchases, earning rules, rewards and reward fulfillments, VIP tiers, and custom activities. It uses resource-oriented URLs, returns JSON, and is authenticated with an HTTP Bearer token (a merchant API key or an app OAuth access token). REST API access is gated to the Plus and Enterprise plans.

Smile.io publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Activities API, Customer Identities API, Customers API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Loyalty, Rewards, Referrals, E-Commerce, and Points.

Smile.io’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.
