Basic contact and branding information

This is the sender's name on all automatic loyalty emails that are sent by Antavo (if any).
Set sender email
This will appear as the sender address of the automatic loyalty emails.
Set the website URL
You can include it in automatic loyalty emails and/or the membership site if it is built by Antavo as an iframe.
Enable/Disable auto-subscribe
If enabled, auto-subscribe creates an inactive customer when an action is submitted with a unique customer ID that does not exist in the customer database.
Set the brand logo

Localization information

Set the default language of the loyalty program
In case your loyalty program handles multiple languages, use the Translations feature to define custom texts.
Set the brand timezone of the loyalty program
This timezone will affect all time-related settings in the loyalty program, except for the following cases where times are to be set based on UTC timezone:
- start and end dates of campaigns
- time set in On a date workflow triggers
- imports and exports scheduling

If UTC timezone has to be used, the time is converted to the brand timezone and displayed in the help text below the configuration field to help the understanding of time differences.

Antavo servers have UTC time synchronized clocks.

Point burning

Set how much a point is worth in the loyalty program
This is the metric used to calculate the discount that customers can get at checkout.

In case you use the Burn rules option in the Points economy module, this setting is not applicable. Learn more about Burn rules here.

Domains and URLs

The domain and URL settings are useful if you have an Antavo-built iframe solution for your membership site.

Define the protocol of your membership site
Set the custom domain of the membership site
To ensure a white-label solution, define a custom domain by selecting the appropriate protocol.
Set the login page and the registration page of your webstore
When customers visit the membership site without being logged in, it is encouraged for them to log in or sign up.

Passwords

Set the complexity of Backoffice user passwords
- Simple - minimum 7 characters, including a lowercase and an uppercase letter or a special character or a number
- Complex - minimum 8 characters, including an uppercase and lowercase letter and a special character and a number
