Retail loyalty API middleware

Bridge between point-of-sale systems and multiple loyalty programs.

Why now

Retailers need to connect aging POS systems to proliferating loyalty apps without full custom integrations.

Who for
Retailers with multiple loyalty programs
Business model
Per-transaction fees
Effort
A few months

Stores struggle to support all customer loyalty programs due to the cost of custom POS integrations for each one. Customers get frustrated when their preferred program isn't recognized.

Create middleware that translates between standard POS outputs and various loyalty program APIs. Handle edge cases like offline operation gracefully.

Mid-sized retailers would pay per transaction to avoid building integrations in-house.

Start with support for major Australian programs like Everyday Rewards before expanding.

Risk is resistance from POS vendors protecting their integration revenue.
