Signed server-to-server purchase and refund events with idempotency keys.

- TEST events validate signatures and rules before LIVE mode.
- PrizeNest approval and funding readiness are required before live issuance.
Merchant FAQ
Practical answers before applying.
Can I start without a subscription?
Yes. PAYG is $0/month and uses prepaid funding at the published per-point rate.
Do included points roll over?
No. Merchant allowance resets each cycle. Customer points already earned remain governed by the customer ledger.
Can I use browser JavaScript for API keys?
No. PrizeNest purchase and refund events must be sent from a server-side integration.
Application timeline
Choose a plan, submit business details, complete review, then test before LIVE activation.
PrizeNest is for online stores. Admin review, funding readiness, verified support details, and TEST purchase/refund evidence come before live customer point issuance.
