3. Option to create new discount rule.
4. Select a discount rule for this Reward.

Claiming and using the Reward:

1. A member claim the Reward.
2. Eber call the eCommerce API endpoint to create a new discount code with the selected discount rule.
3. Discount code created in the eCommerce system and is returned to Eber. Eber saves the code and display it to member.
4. Discount code applied at checkout. Validation is done by eCommerce system since this discount code exist in the eCommerce system and rules are set in the eCommerce system.

This integration is optional. If it's done, it provide a seamless experience for administrator to create new discount rules. Such as a $5 discount for product category A.
