# Loyalty Service — Enterprise Loyalty Platform

> Phase 7.6 Wallet complete (7.0–7.5 engines + immutable wallet ledger). Independent shared service — **not** part of CRM.

Reusable by Restaurant, Marketplace, Ecommerce, Academy, Booking, Healthcare,
Salon, Gym, and future modules via API + Events only.

## Ownership

| Owns | Does not own |
| --- | --- |
| LoyaltyProgram, MembershipTier, Member + lifecycle | CRM sales entities |
| MembershipLifecycleEvent history | Accounting / Posting Engine |
| PointAccount + immutable `PointLedgerEntry` | Notification delivery |
| Reward catalog + `RewardRedemption` lifecycle | Analytics store (later) |
| Campaign engine + applications | Identity / Gift card UI (7.7+) |
| Referral programs / codes / attributions | Payment gateway settlement |
| WalletAccount + immutable `WalletLedgerEntry` | |
| Loyalty audit trail | |

## Boundaries

- Independent database: `loyalty_db` (ADR-001, ADR-011)
- Row-level tenancy via `tenant_id` from request context (ADR-003)
- Point and wallet balances come **only** from immutable ledgers — never mutate a balance column
- Soft delete releases unique keys so codes can be reused; audit via `/api/v1/audit`
- Inter-service communication: REST + Events only (transactional outbox)
- Platform providers are **contracts only** under `app/providers/`
- Route permissions enforced (`loyalty.*`); invalid `X-Tenant-ID` rejected
