In Zinrelo, transactions are the records that get created for any point credit or debit action.

Credit transactions are created when members perform activities that earn points, such as account creation, purchases, anniversary bonus, surveys, referrals.

Debit transactions are created when-

members redeem their points for rewards, or
their points expire, or
their points are deducted manually or programmatically.

When activities are recorded via APIs, the transactions created against those activities may contain the values for the custom attributes defined against the activity being recorded. Similarly, if a redemption is being carried out via an API, the transactions created against those activities may contain the values for the custom attributes defined against the reward being redeemed.
