Selling Points to Prepaid Partners

For prepaid partners, you begin by making the point block available for purchase. After the partner has purchased a point block, you activate it so the partner can use it.

Before you sell the points to prepaid partners, you must create the point blocks, as described in Creating Point Blocks for Loyalty Programs. You also have the option of setting up auto-creation of point blocks, as described in Setting Up Auto-Creation of Point Blocks.
