​
Behaviour

  • Points balance floors at 0 — deductions will never produce a negative balance
  • Customer tier is recalculated automatically after the adjustment
  • Creates an audit trail entry in the customer’s earning history

​
Side effects

All non-blocking:
  • Recalculates and updates VIP tier
  • Sends points-earned email on increases (if send_email: true)
  • Syncs customer to Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Postscript
