What it does
Many sites reward users with points for activity, but those points often have nowhere useful to go. This add-on gives them a purpose inside an Easy Digital Downloads store. Once it is set up, myCred appears as a custom payment gateway in your existing EDD checkout. Customers can apply their point balance to a purchase, and the points are deducted automatically when the order goes through, so you do not have to adjust balances by hand.
The plugin works with all the point types you manage in myCred, which lets you shape a loyalty or rewards program around your own audience. Gateway settings let you adjust how the payment option looks and behaves so it fits your checkout flow. It suits digital product shops, e-learning platforms and membership sites that already use myCred and want earned points to work as a spendable currency. Your site also needs BuddyPress active.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores already running myCred
- E-learning platforms that reward learners with points
- Membership sites using BuddyPress and points-based loyalty

Yes. The gateway lets customers use their myCred point balance to pay partially or in full. That gives buyers flexibility when they do not have enough points to cover an entire purchase.

It does. The plugin is compatible with all point types managed within myCred, so you can decide which currencies fit your loyalty or rewards program and let customers spend them at checkout.
Do I need to deduct points from customers manually?
No. Points are deducted automatically at checkout when the order is placed, which keeps balances accurate without any manual work from you or your team.
