Establishing a points and rewards system in your WooCommerce store involves setting up a mechanism that grants customers points for purchases, which can later be converted into discounts or exclusive perks.

The WooCommerce Points and Rewards plugin, developed by WPSwings, is a powerful tool for WordPress users looking to set up a reward points system on their e-commerce store. This plugin offers a seamless way to motivate customers and encourage repeat purchases.

To get started, subscribe to the plugin, download the zip file, and upload it to your WordPress site. Activate the plugin, and you're ready to configure your rewards system. The Settings screen provides various options for customisation, such as points conversion rate, points rounding, redeem conversion rate, partial redemption, minimum and maximum discount in points, maximum discount per product in points, tax configuration, points label, points expiration, message configuration, points earned by actions, and reward points for previous orders.

In the Manage Points screen, administrators can view the points earned by each customer and update the total points for each customer as needed. The plugin also allows for the tracking of points earned and redeemed in the store, with the option to filter specific logs in the points log.

The plugin is compatible with the WooCommerce-to-app product of AppMySite, allowing customers to redeem rewards seamlessly across website and app. AppMySite is a tool that enables users to create mobile apps without coding, and its WooCommerce-to-app product is designed specifically for WooCommerce store owners to create an app without coding.

Offering a points system in a WooCommerce store can be a great incentive for customers to make more purchases. Message configuration options include product page message, variable product page message, earned points message, redeem points message, and order confirmation message.

The plugin also offers custom rules for different products and categories when it comes to rewarding points. To set rules for categories, navigate to the Categories page in Products and edit the desired category. Options for setting category rules include a custom conversion rate for points earned and a maximum points discount.

It is possible to award points to customers for past orders in the WooCommerce store. However, details on how to do this were not provided in the plugin's documentation. The option to award points for past orders has a specified date limit, and this choice is irreversible.

The WooCommerce Points and Rewards plugin is an excellent solution for WordPress users looking to enhance their e-commerce store with a reward points system. With its wide range of customisable options and compatibility with AppMySite, this plugin offers a user-friendly and effective way to boost customer engagement and loyalty.
