Clients can build this type of experience themselves on top of Ordergroove's APIs and function calls, with access to Ordergroove's Developers Portal documentation.

Earn Loyalty Points

Customers earning reward points on the Client's side. Usually, this integration can be done directly between the loyalty provider and the eCommerce platform once Ordergroove has generated the recurring orders.

Customers redeeming loyalty points for application on a future subscription order. Points must be applied at the item level.

Coupon Redemption, and One-Time Promotions

Customers redeeming a coupon, promotion code, or any other one-time promotion for application on a future subscription order. Coupons and promotions must be applied at the item level.

Refer-a-Friend

Customers receiving promotions for referring a friend to a subscription. Requires use of Ordergroove data feeds or webhooks.

Clients can enable alternate payment methods (e.g., PayPal, Apple Pay, etc.) for subscriptions by connecting to those providers directly. This functionality is dependent on the eCommerce platform, so please check with your team to determine feasibility.

Account Updater

Clients can enable a real-time check with their payment processor to retrieve updated account information for the consumer's payment method. This check will validate any account changes (e.g. card reissues due to fraud/loss/theft) ahead of order processing to mitigate failure and ensure order delivery. Clients can then update Ordergroove of any refreshed payment information by calling the Ordergroove REST APIs.

Product Recommendations - Vendor Integration

Use Ordergroove's data exports to make product recommendations to customers.

Subscription and Order Verification

POST requests to Ordergroove, indicating that a subscription or order has officially been created and verified on the Client side. This is often done as a fraud prevention mechanism.

Custom ESP Integration

An integration with an Email Service Provider (ESP) other than Ordergroove’s instance of SendGrid or partner integrations.

Build Your Own Bundle

Customers build their own bundles by choosing component SKUs based on preset business logic that defines bundle configuration and price.

Modify Subscription Manager Based on SKU or Logic

eCommerce Platform Integrations

Non-US Domain — Single Non-English Language

Ordergroove can power sites outside of the US if the language used on the site is the Latin 1 (extended ASCII) character set.

The currency symbol displayed to the customer can be modified to match the local currency, but all Ordergroove admin interfaces will display $USD.

The available countries in the shipping address form are listed in the base product description above.

Non-US Domain — Dual Language

Ordergroove can power two languages on the same site if the languages use the Latin 1 (extended ASCII) character set.

Note: The use of multiple currencies on the same site is not supported. This does not include passing customer locale within the order placement payload.

A fully headless integration is not supported on the Ordergroove platform. Clients must utilize the eCommerce cart and checkout to enable customers to create subscriptions.

Custom Order Placement Logic

Client customization of the order placement logic Ordergroove uses to send orders into the Client eCommerce platform is not available. Instead, Ordergroove will place orders once per day on a preselected hour for all subscriptions due on that day.
