Integration withStripe

What is Stripe?

Stripe is the world's leading payment processing platform, handling billions of dollars in transactions for millions of businesses globally. It provides comprehensive infrastructure for accepting credit cards, digital wallets, and alternative payment methods, along with sophisticated tools for subscription management, fraud prevention, and revenue optimization. Stripe's robust APIs and reliable infrastructure make it the payment processor of choice for businesses ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies.

Why integrate Stripe with Yalt?

The Stripe-Yalt integration creates powerful customer loyalty programs built on verified payment data, ensuring rewards are only issued for successful, completed transactions. By connecting payment events directly to loyalty programs, you can automatically reward customers for every valid purchase while excluding failed payments, refunds, or fraudulent transactions. This integration enables sophisticated automated campaigns triggered by real revenue events, allowing you to build customer relationships based on actual spending behavior. The result is cleaner analytics, more accurate ROI measurement, and loyalty programs that align perfectly with your financial reporting.

How the payment-driven integration works

When Stripe connects to Yalt, payment events stream in real-time directly from your payment processor. Every successful charge automatically updates customer loyalty profiles—points accumulate, cashback accrues, and stamp cards progress based on verified transaction amounts. The system builds comprehensive customer profiles tracking payment history, purchase frequency, average transaction value, and spending trends. Failed payments, refunds, and disputes are automatically excluded from loyalty calculations, ensuring program integrity. Using this clean payment data, automated campaigns trigger based on confirmed revenue events—welcoming new paying customers, rewarding spending milestones, identifying high-value customers for VIP programs, or re-engaging customers who haven't transacted recently.

Finance-grade loyalty program features

Payment-verified loyalty cards: Issue digital loyalty cards that track only confirmed, successful transactions. Customers earn rewards based on real revenue, not pending or failed payments.

Transaction-based points: Configure points-based loyalty programs where earning is tied directly to successful Stripe charges. Set earning rates by transaction amount, payment method, or customer segment.

Revenue-linked cashback: Implement cashback systems that calculate rewards based on actual captured payments. Automatically adjust for refunds or partial refunds to maintain accurate balances.

Subscription loyalty rewards: Reward customers for successful recurring payments in subscription businesses. Issue loyalty points for subscription renewals or tenure milestones to reduce churn.

Payment method incentives: Create differentiated loyalty programs based on payment methods—reward customers who use lower-cost payment types or encourage adoption of digital wallets.

Value-based segmentation: Segment customers by confirmed transaction amounts, payment frequency, lifetime value, or spending velocity. Target high-value segments with exclusive automated campaigns and loyalty offers.

Payment-triggered campaigns: Deploy automated email and SMS marketing campaigns triggered by verified payment events—welcome sequences after first purchase, milestone celebrations at spending thresholds, or VIP invitations for top spenders.

Win-back automation: Identify customers whose last successful payment was beyond a threshold and automatically send targeted win-back campaigns with personalized incentives.

Refund handling: Automatically adjust loyalty balances when refunds occur, ensuring program integrity and accurate customer balances at all times.

Fraud exclusion: Automatically exclude flagged fraudulent transactions from loyalty calculations, protecting program economics and preventing abuse.

Multi-currency support: Handle loyalty programs across multiple currencies with automatic conversion and normalization for consistent global loyalty experiences.
