The Basics

• Alpine IQ uses the Flourish Software API key to pull customer and order info at intervals to add points and rewards to customers' loyalty accounts.
• Flourish uses the Alpine IQ key to fetch loyalty member information and rewards/points, create new loyalty members, redeem rewards, and more.

The Steps

There are three parts to the setup, and setting up in the following order enables both platforms to communicate:

1. Alpine IQ Integration Settings for Flourish.
2. Flourish Integration Settings for Alpine IQ.
3. Master Verification PIN .
