Order Protection integrates with Rise.ai to automatically issue gift cards to customers when their claims are approved, providing a seamless resolution experience.

Overview

The Rise.ai integration allows you to automatically create and manage gift cards for customers. Order Protection uses Rise.ai for:
  • Claim Resolution: Automatically issue gift cards when claims are approved
  • Bonus Store Credit: Issue store credit as customer rewards or incentives
  • Balance Updates: Add additional amounts to existing customer loyalty cards
When a claim is approved and resolved via gift card, or when bonus credit is issued, Order Protection automatically creates or updates a Rise.ai gift card and sends it to the customer.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the Rise.ai integration, ensure you have:
  • An active Rise.ai account
  • Your Rise.ai Credit API Token
  • Your store configured in Order Protection

How It Works

Once the integration is configured, the gift card process is fully automated:

Creating New Gift Cards

For Claims:
  1. Claim Approval: When a support agent approves a claim and selects gift card as the resolution method
  2. Gift Card Creation: Order Protection automatically creates a gift card in Rise.ai with:
    • The claim amount as the gift card value
    • Customer’s email address and name
    • Reference to the original order number
    • Reference to the claim ID for tracking
    • Email subject: “Gift Card for Claim #[ClaimID]”
  3. Customer Notification: Rise.ai sends the gift card to the customer’s email with a customized message
  4. Gift Card Activation: The customer receives a gift card code they can use immediately
For Bonus Store Credit:
  1. Credit Issuance: When bonus store credit is triggered (e.g., loyalty rewards, promotions)
  2. Gift Card Creation: Order Protection creates a gift card with:
    • The specified credit amount
    • Customer’s email address and name
    • Reference to the original order number
    • Email subject: “Bonus Store Credit for Order #[OrderNumber]”
  3. Customer Notification: Rise.ai sends the bonus credit to the customer

Updating Existing Gift Cards

For customers with existing Rise.ai loyalty cards:
  1. Balance Check: Order Protection can retrieve the customer’s current gift card balance
  2. Balance Update: When additional credit is needed, Order Protection adds the amount to the existing card
  3. Type Tracking: Updates are marked as type “refund” with order reference for accounting
Gift cards are automatically associated with customer accounts using their customer ID, making it easy for returning customers to access and accumulate their credit.

Gift Card Information

Each gift card created through this integration includes:
  • Gift Card Code: Unique code the customer uses at checkout
  • Initial Value: The claim or credit amount
  • Current Balance: Available credit (may differ from initial value after partial use)
  • Customer Details: Email, name, and customer ID (if available)
  • Order Reference: Links back to the original order
  • Claim Reference: Links back to the specific claim (for claim-based cards)
  • Expiration: Based on your Rise.ai settings (optional)
  • Store Domain: Associated with your specific store

  • Retrieve Balance: Check a customer’s current gift card balance before processing

  • Identify customers who haven’t redeemed their cards
  • Analyze gift card performance over time
  • Review balance update history for customer accounts
Consider using bonus store credit for:
  • Customer retention campaigns
  • Loyalty program rewards
  • Referral incentives
  • Apology gestures for service issues
  • First-time customer promotions
Track the source and performance of different bonus credit campaigns to optimize your strategy.

Troubleshooting

If a gift card isn’t created automatically:
  • Verify your Credit API Token is correct and active
  • Ensure your store domain is properly configured
  • Check that the customer has a valid email address
  • Verify the claim amount is greater than zero
If issues persist, check the integration status in your settings or contact Order Protection support.
If a customer reports not receiving their gift card:
  1. Check the customer’s spam/junk folder
  2. Verify the email address in the claim is correct
  3. Look up the gift card in your Rise.ai dashboard
  4. Manually resend the gift card from Rise.ai if needed
If you see an “API key not found” error:
  • Confirm you’re using the Credit API Token (not a different API key)
  • Check that the token hasn’t expired or been revoked
  • Re-enter the token in Order Protection settings
  • Contact Rise.ai support if the token appears invalid
If you see a “Store domain not found” error:
  • Verify your store is properly configured in Order Protection
  • Check that your store domain matches your Shopify store URL
  • Ensure the store hasn’t been archived or deactivated
  • Contact Order Protection support for assistance
If updating an existing gift card balance fails:
  • Verify the gift card ID exists in your Rise.ai dashboard
  • Check that the gift card hasn’t expired
  • Ensure the customer ID is correctly linked
  • Verify the additional amount is a valid positive number
  • Contact Rise.ai if the card appears to be locked or restricted
If you see a “Rise.ai service temporarily unavailable” error:
  • This is typically a transient outage on Rise.ai’s side
  • The system will automatically retry in most cases
  • Check Rise.ai’s status page for known issues
  • If the issue persists beyond 15 minutes, contact Rise.ai support
