Digital Vouchers

All the vouchers available via the Xoxoday Rewards API are digital. These vouchers can be redeemed online as well in physical stores. Each voucher's terms and conditions specify where and how it can be redeemed.
Please note that there are no physical vouchers/gifts available via the Rewards API.

Order Fulfilment

There are 2 types of vouchers that can be ordered via the Rewards API:

Real-Time

These are the vouchers whose orders get fulfilled on a real-time basis. So, the moment the order is placed, the voucher is delivered instantly.

Non-real-time

These are the vouchers whose orders are not fulfilled on a real-time basis and may take 3-10 working days to be fulfilled. Please refer to the voucher's terms & conditions to find the exact timelines.

📘

How to know voucher types?

Please refer to deliveryType filter in the GetVouchers API response to determine if a voucher is real-time or delayed.

Recommended Practices

Below are some of our recommendations to ensure a smooth implentation and consumtion of Xoxoday APIs. Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] for any questions, suggestions, and feedback.

Catalog Refresh

Xoxoday recommends that you refresh your catalog once every 24 hours to fetch the latest information about the available gift cards.

Use of PO Number

Xoxoday recommends that you implement the PO number functionality to avoid duplicate orders being placed.

API Time Out

Xoxoday recommends that you should wait 30 seconds to get a response from the API. This is because of API lag in our vendor systems.

Error Code Handling

Xoxoday provides a wide variety of error codes in the API response. Please use them to fine-tune the error handling at your end.
