Show Gameball Customer Widget
Get started on integrating the Gameball players's profile into your website or web app
Gameball widget is a customized loyalty interface your customers see when they are on your platform. The widget is where they can learn more about the loyalty program, track their progress, find their referral URL, and find other loyalty profile information. Learn more about Gameball widget.
To show the Gameball widget on your website or web application, you need to add the widget javascript code snippet to every webpage where you want the widget to appear. Paste the code snippet immediately before the closing tag. If you use templates to dynamically generate pages for your site, like PHP, ASP, or similar technology, you can paste the code snippet into its file, then include it in your page header.
Widget Modes
The widget supports two different modes, a guest view, and a customer view. Each can be shown to your website visitors with the same code snippet and serve different use cases.
A guest view is normally what you want your guests (non-logged-in users) to see about the programs you're offering. This can encourage guests to create accounts and sign in to enjoy your rewards programs. Where a customer view is used to let your customers (logged-in users) track their programs in your rewards program and enjoy their benefits.
Guest View
For guest customers, and non-logged-in users, use the below snippet to add your Gameball APIKey. Please check the article How can you get your account integration details? (API Key & Transaction Key) to learn more on how to get your unique APIKey.
Customer View
For customer view, all you need to do is to set the playerUniqueId
value to the currently logged-in user. This is how your customer will be identified and tracked at Gameball, hence make sure to send a permanent consistent id across a user’s lifetime. It could be a database ID, random string, email, or anything that uniquely identifies the customer .
In addition to the playerUniqueId
, optional player attributes can be sent to enrich the customer's profile at Gameball. You can send non, all, or selected attributes to Gameball depending on how you would like to enrich your customer's profile.
Every time the widget is initialized with customer data, the customer profile is created or updated on Gameball side. You may consider enriching your Gameball's customer profile with attributes that are not available to the UI by using the server-side Create\Update Customer API
Choose an Unchangeable Player Unique ID
Gameball user profile gets created using the playerUniqueId
. It is highly recommended to have the unique ID as an identifier that would NEVER be changed. If this unique ID changes for a given customer, you risk losing all original data for that customer and hence losing their points and rewards on Gameball. Accordingly, it is NOT recommended to use the email address or the mobile number as the unique ID as both can be changed by the user at any time.
