What it does
Points systems keep members active, but virtual points only go so far as a reward. This add-on gives your myCred points real cash value by connecting redemptions to PayPal. Users request a withdrawal from their point balance, and the payout is sent to them through PayPal. It works inside the existing myCred hooks and settings, so it fits into a loyalty or reward program you already run instead of asking you to build a separate payment flow.
You choose how payouts are handled. Automatic processing sends payments when users redeem, while manual mode lets you review each request and approve or reject it. Every request carries a Pending, Approved or Rejected status so both sides can follow along. Minimum and maximum point limits, multiple currencies with your own exchange rates, and support for custom point types give you control over what gets paid. A debugging log records PayPal responses, and the plugin runs on single sites and multisite networks.
Best for
- Sites running a myCred points or loyalty program
- Community sites that want to reward members with cash
- Multisite networks sharing a points-based reward system
Features
Automatic withdrawal processing
Users can redeem their points and receive the matching payment through PayPal without waiting for an admin to step in.
Manual withdrawal requests
Prefer to check each payout first? Switch to manual mode and review every withdrawal request, then approve or reject it yourself.
Request status tracking
Each withdrawal shows a Pending, Approved or Rejected status, so users and admins can see where a request stands during the approval process.
Minimum and maximum limits
Set custom thresholds for how many points can be redeemed for cash, which helps you keep payouts at a level your program can sustain.
Multiple currencies and exchange rates
Work with different currency types and set your own exchange rates so point balances convert to cash amounts the way you intend.
Custom point types
Use unique point types created within myCred, so cash redemption can follow the specific point structure your site already uses.
Debugging log
Detailed transaction logs include responses from PayPal, making it easier to verify payment status and troubleshoot a transfer that did not go through.
Single site and multisite
Run the plugin on one WordPress site or across several sites in a multisite network with the same functionality on each.
