Catalog API has a single purpose, according to its founder Michael Levy, CEO: to make it easy to offer a global rewards fulfilment service to aid global organizations populate their reward catalogs with the widest selection of gift cards, merchandise, travel and other rewards options through a single source. Catalog API is a service of Online Rewards, Richardson, TX.

Today, he reports, Catalog API combines a marketplace of over 40 suppliers providing local reward options; fulfillment options in 120 countries, billing and reporting in 12 currencies - currently handling over $150 million in transactions annually.
Launched in 2002, Catalog API provides organizations with the ability to benefit from its technology with minimal setup or monthly charges involved. Service fees can be completely covered based on volume. To make it easy for companies to integrate Catalog API services, a complete set of documentation, a sand-box service for testing, sample code, and technical support are provided.
Levy says his company’s transparent pricing model enables solution provider partners to control pricing in their own catalogs and mark up products based on the added value they provide.
According to Levy, incentive, recognition, loyalty, market research, health and wellness and other types of companies benefit from Catalog API simple and easy service offering. Companies can select precisely the rewards they wish to include in their catalog offerings from over two million reward options. Custom catalog business rules are created for each client catalog and reward items are seamlessly populated into individual catalogs as needed. “We offer the only patented reward catalog fulfillment service specific to the needs of our industry - offering the ability to customize client-level catalogs through a series of curated business rules at scale.”

He continues, “Our single-source solution is designed so that clients have complete control over what appears in each catalog and at what price. Customers can either consume the entire inventory of reward options to create their own catalogs - or leverage our rules engine to customize the catalogs for each client and program based on your own rules.” Customer service is addressed through a Tier II ticketing system integrated into each client system – or given the option for Catalog API to provide Tier I support.
For those companies without their own e-commerce platform to manage catalog item display, order processing and fulfillment services, Levy adds, Catalog API offers a white-label, fully customizable hosted service. This can be easily integrated with a client program web site when needed.
Either way, Levy summarizes, the applications for Catalog API are significant – along with the opportunity to simplify and streamline the integration of reward options in any program.
Catalog API aims to continue its growth and investment into the services and offerings—making redemptions services around the world as easy and financially frictionless as possible, all while providing clients with the opportunity to outsource their rewards catalog and fulfillment sourcing functions with a simple, inexpensive, white-labeled service.
