Integrating RewardsWP with your eCommerce platform is a crucial step in ensuring seamless tracking of referrals and rewards. RewardsWP currently supports WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads, two of the most popular solutions for online stores.
This guide will walk you through enabling these integrations so your referral program works effortlessly with your existing setup.
Why Integrations Are Important
Integrations are what connect RewardsWP to your store’s checkout process, ensuring that referrals are tracked accurately and rewards are applied automatically. Without these integrations, the plugin cannot monitor purchases or attribute rewards to advocates and referred friends.
By integrating directly with your eCommerce platform, RewardsWP works alongside your store’s workflows to reduce manual intervention and create a smooth, automated system for tracking referrals and distributing rewards.
How Integrations Work
If your store has WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads installed and activated, the corresponding integration in RewardsWP is automatically enabled. This makes setup effortless, so you can focus on configuring your referral program.
If the required plugin isn’t installed, RewardsWP will display a prompt asking you to install and activate it. For example:
- If WooCommerce isn’t installed, you’ll see: “Please install and activate WooCommerce to enable this integration.”
- Once the plugin is installed and activated, RewardsWP will automatically enable the integration and display a confirmation message: “The WooCommerce integration has been automatically enabled.”
The same behavior applies to Easy Digital Downloads.
Verifying Integration Status
You can verify the integration status in RewardsWP:
- Navigate to RewardsWP > Settings > Integrations.
- As the integrations are automatically enabled, you’ll see a confirmation message stating that the integration is enabled for WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don’t have WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads installed?
