Contact Identifiers

Mostly, Contacts are identified by their email address. However, Contact Identifiers can also be used to retrieve a Contact's information. Most current Contact Identifiers are Loyalty Cards, which have been around since the start of Piggy. However, if needed, virtually anything can be used as a Contact Identifier, provided they use a unique value (within the Account). Please contact us if you'd like to use anything aside from the standard Piggy Loyalty cards as a Contact Identifier.
