- NewToolkit Pro Notice added.
What it does
Many sites that run myCred want members to be able to buy points instead of only earning them. That needs a payment gateway wired into the points system, so a completed payment turns into a balance top-up without manual work. This plugin handles that link for PayFast, letting you run a points-based economy, sell credit packages or reward loyal visitors with purchasable points.
Customers choose a point package, pay through PayFast using options such as credit cards or EFT, and the points are credited as soon as the payment is confirmed. As the admin, you set pricing, point packages and promotional offers, and you can follow transactions in reports inside the WordPress dashboard. The plugin is built to work with BuddyPress, and developers can adjust its behavior through hooks and filters.
