# Joy

> Joy is a loyalty, rewards and referral platform for ambitious Shopify brands — points, VIP tiers, referrals and social rewards in one on-brand program that looks and works like your store.

Every page here is also published as markdown at a parallel URL, and every HTML page declares its own twin in the head as <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="...">. Following that declaration is the surest way to reach one.

The URL rules, so you can construct the rest without fetching the HTML first:

- Marketing and legal pages — prefix the path with /md: /pricing/ becomes /md/pricing/, /privacy-policy/ becomes /md/privacy-policy/, /solutions/fashion-apparel/ becomes /md/solutions/fashion-apparel/. The home page is /md/.
- CMS articles — insert md after the section: /blog/{slug}/ becomes /blog/md/{slug}/, and likewise for /updates/, /case-study/ and /integrations/.
- Listings and their paged views: /blog/md/, /blog/md/page/{n}/, /updates/md/, /updates/md/page/{n}/, /case-study/md/, /integrations/md/.
- Blog categories and authors: /blog/category/md/{slug}/, /blog/category/md/{slug}/page/{n}/, /author/md/{slug}/.

Each of those answers 200 with Content-Type: text/markdown. A path with no twin fails rather than falling back to HTML, so a wrong guess is never silently answered in the wrong format. This file names the most useful pages; the rules above reach the rest.
