# Business Loyalty Plans Model

A business loyalty plan records how one business participates in a loyalty plan. It can override the plan's accumulation, redemption, maximum, and expiration settings for that business.

| Action                 | Method | Resource                                                    |
| ---------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| List business settings | `GET`  | `/loyalty_plans/{loyalty_plan_id}/businesses`               |
| Find business settings | `GET`  | `/loyalty_plans/{loyalty_plan_id}/businesses/{business_id}` |

Both list and find operations require administrator authentication. See [List business loyalty plans](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/get-all-business-loyalty-plans-list/) and [Find a business loyalty plan](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/find-business-loyalty-plans/).

Older documentation also describes create, update, and delete operations under singular `/business` paths. Those paths do not match the plural routes listed here, and the public API reference does not list corresponding operations.

## Representative fields

Identity fields include `id`, `business_id`, and `loyalty_plan_id`. Behavior is controlled by `redeems`, `accumulates`, `redemption_rate`, `accumulation_rate`, `maximum_redemption_type`, `maximum_redemption_rate`, `maximum_accumulation`, and `expire_after_minutes`.

Values `1` and `2` are listed for `maximum_redemption_type`, but their meanings are not clear. Use the operation-specific contract and product configuration to determine accepted values, requirements, and responses.
