Prerequisites:

  1. Platform Registration: Sign up for Genius Referrals and obtain your API credentials.
  2. Genius Referrals SDK: Ensure you have installed the Genius Referrals SDK for PHP.
Step 1: Allow Advocates to Add Payment Methods
Enable your advocates to add payment methods, such as a PayPal account, to redeem their bonuses.

<?php

require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";
$contentType = "application/json"; // The content type
$xAuthToken = "2f266b71b8038e"; // Your API Token, you can get your token here https://app.geniusreferrals.com/en/settings/api-access
$accountSlug = 'sandbox';

$client = new GeniusReferralsLib\GeniusReferralsClient($contentType, $xAuthToken);

$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();

//// 1. Find advocate by email
$advocateEmail = 'john.doe@example.com'; // The advocate's email
$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();
$advocateResponse = $advocatesController->getAdvocates($accountSlug,1,1, 'email::' . $advocateEmail);

if($advocateResponse->data->total == 1){ // Found the advocate?

    $advocate = $advocateResponse->data->results[0];

    $paymentMethodModel = new \GeniusReferralsLib\Models\PaymentMethod();
    $paymentMethodModel->description = 'Personal PayPal account';
    $paymentMethodModel->isActive = true;
    $paymentMethodModel->username = 'john@mail.com';

    $paymentMethodForm = new \GeniusReferralsLib\Models\PaymentMethodForm($paymentMethodModel);

    $paymentMethodResponse = $advocatesController->postPaymentMethod($accountSlug, $advocate->token, $paymentMethodForm);

    if(isset($paymentMethodResponse->id)){
        // PayPal account successfully created
    }
    else{
        // handle errors
    }
}else{
    // We couldn't find the advocate, nothing to do here.
}
?>
Step 2: Allow Advocates to Create Payment Requests to Redeem Their Bonuses
Allow your advocates to redeem their earned bonuses for credit, cash, gift cards, coupons, etc.

<?php

require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";
$contentType = "application/json"; // The content type
$xAuthToken = "2f266b71b8038e6"; // Your API Token, you can get your token here https://app.geniusreferrals.com/en/settings/api-access
$accountSlug = 'sandbox';

$client = new GeniusReferralsLib\GeniusReferralsClient($contentType, $xAuthToken);

$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();

//// 1. Find advocate by email
$advocateEmail = 'john.doe@example.com'; // The advocate's email
$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();
$advocateResponse = $advocatesController->getAdvocates($accountSlug,1,1, 'email::' . $advocateEmail);

if($advocateResponse->data->total == 1){ // Found the advocate?

    $advocate = $advocateResponse->data->results[0];

    $redemptionRequestModel = new \GeniusReferralsLib\Models\RedemptionRequest();
    $redemptionRequestModel->description = 'Redeeming as credit';
    $redemptionRequestModel->advocateToken = $advocate->token;
    $redemptionRequestModel->amount = 50;
    $redemptionRequestModel->currencyCode = 'USD';
    $redemptionRequestModel->requestActionSlug = 'credit';
    $redemptionRequestModel->requestStatusSlug = 'requested';

    $redemptionRequestForm = new \GeniusReferralsLib\Models\RedemptionRequestForm($redemptionRequestModel);

    $redemptionRequestController = $client->getRedemptionRequests();

    $redemptionRequestResponse = $redemptionRequestController->postRedemptionRequest($accountSlug,$redemptionRequestForm);

    if(isset($redemptionRequestResponse->id)){
        // RedemptionRequest successfully created
    }
    else{
        // handle errors
    }
}else{
    // We couldn't find the advocate, nothing to do here.
}
Step 3: Process Redemption Requests
Handle redemption requests to ensure that advocates receive their bonuses in the preferred method, such as cash, credit, or gift cards.

<?php

require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";
$contentType = "application/json"; // The content type
$xAuthToken = "2f266b71b8038e6"; // Your API Token, you can get your token here https://app.geniusreferrals.com/en/settings/api-access
$accountSlug = 'sandbox';

$client = new GeniusReferralsLib\GeniusReferralsClient($contentType, $xAuthToken);

$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();

//// 1. Find advocate by email
$advocateEmail = 'john.doe@example.com'; // The advocate's email
$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();
$advocateResponse = $advocatesController->getAdvocates($accountSlug,1,1, 'email::' . $advocateEmail);

if($advocateResponse->data->total == 1){ // Found the advocate?

    $advocate = $advocateResponse->data->results[0];

    $redemptionRequestID = 19530526;

    $redemptionRequestController = $client->getRedemptionRequests();

    $redemptionRequestController->patchRedemptionRequest($accountSlug,$redemptionRequestID);
}else{
    // We couldn't find the advocate, nothing to do here.
}
Step 4: Display Bonus Details
Retrieve and display the available bonus information for advocates.

<?php

require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";
$contentType = "application/json"; // The content type
$xAuthToken = "2f266b71b8038e6"; // Your API Token, you can get your token here https://app.geniusreferrals.com/en/settings/api-access
$accountSlug = 'sandbox';

$client = new GeniusReferralsLib\GeniusReferralsClient($contentType, $xAuthToken);

$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();

//// 1. Find advocate by email
$advocateEmail = 'john.doe@example.com'; // The advocate's email
$advocatesController = $client->getAdvocates();
$advocateResponse = $advocatesController->getAdvocates($accountSlug,1,1, 'email::' . $advocateEmail);

if($advocateResponse->data->total == 1){ // Found the advocate?

    $advocate = $advocateResponse->data->results[0];

    $advocateUnclaimedBalance = $advocate->unclaimed_balance;
    $advocateClaimedBalance = $advocate->unclaimed_balance;
    $advocateTotalReferralsGenerated = $advocate->total_referrals;
    $advocateTotalBonusesGenerated = $advocate->total_bonuses;

}else{
    // We couldn't find the advocate, nothing to do here.
