Release January 2025

We've recently introduced several new features to enhance your Plum experience. The Plum Reward API is live on Postman's Public API Network, enabling seamless discovery, testing, and integration. Product Whitelisting simplifies catalogue configuration, while our improved recommendation engine delivers tailored suggestions for UK and Indian customers. These updates and other enhancements are designed to provide a seamless, secure, and efficient experience for admins and users.

Here's what's new:

1. Plum is Live on Postman’s Public API Network **

The Plum Reward API is now live on Postman's Public API Network, the largest collection of public APIs globally. This makes it easier for developers to:

• Discover and explore the API’s capabilities.

• Test it directly within the Postman environment.

• Access detailed documentation to get started quickly.

This launch simplifies integration and enhances the developer experience.

2. Product Whitelisting **

Introducing the Product Whitelisting feature! You can now configure catalogs to make specific products visible to selected accounts or marketplaces, ensuring tailored visibility while hiding them from others.  

3. Tailored Recommendations **

3.1 For UK Customers: Our new recommendation engine now provides UK-specific suggestions for products and gift cards, helping you discover the most relevant and popular options effortlessly.

3.2 For Indian Customers: We’ve revamped our catalog to deliver enhanced merchandise recommendations tailored to the Indian market.

4. Amazon Prime Fulfillment & Flexible Integrations Available on Plum

Plum now offers Amazon Prime fulfilment for all products in the US, ensuring fast, reliable delivery with no markups.

Plum provides two flexible integration options:

• Not Using Your Company Amazon Account: Plum facilitates purchases directly from Amazon, allowing you to set up a rewards program without needing your Amazon account.

• Using Your Company Amazon Account: Plum sets up the rewards program using your Amazon account with restricted access. This gives you control over your account while Plum handles the reward processing.

Both options offer no markup and ensure quick, efficient delivery for your employees' rewards.

5. Enhanced Gift Voucher Catalog Across Countries

We’ve expanded our Gift Voucher catalogue with exciting new brands in multiple countries. Now, you can enjoy more choices and seamless redemptions.
