New in RewardsWP: Points, Redesigned Rewards Widget & More
AffiliateWP helps you win new customers through affiliates.
RewardsWP helps you keep them.
We launched RewardsWP earlier this year with referrals as the first step. AffiliateWP scales acquisition through affiliates. RewardsWP scales loyalty through customers.
Referrals are powerful, but not every customer will share a link. Points turn every purchase into a reason to come back.
That is why I am excited to announce a major RewardsWP update with Points, a redesigned Rewards Widget, and new features that make loyalty easier to launch, run, and measure.
Reward every purchase with Points
Points give customers a clear reason to come back. They earn as they shop, then turn those points into rewards on their next order.
Customers earn points automatically on purchases and any other actions you enable. When they are ready, they open the widget, pick a reward, and redeem it.
After redeeming, RewardsWP shows the reward instantly, including a copyable coupon and an Apply to cart button. It is simple for customers, and it drives the next purchase.
A redesigned Rewards Widget
With Points now built in, we redesigned the Rewards Widget from the ground up. It is mobile friendly, easier to navigate, and designed to grow as we add more loyalty features over time.
The widget is built to drive the next step, whether that is shopping, redeeming a reward, or sharing a referral link.
Built for real storefronts
- Deep links let you open the widget, or a specific panel, from a menu link or button
- Guest shoppers can earn points and use the rewards widget, and are prompted to create an account before redeeming or receiving referral rewards.
- Rewards are designed to guide customers back to shopping, not dead ends
Set up Points in minutes
Points are simple for customers, and they are simple for you to run.
RewardsWP ships with sensible defaults for earning and redeeming so you can launch fast. Then you can fine tune everything as you learn what your customers respond to.
Ways to earn
Choose the actions that earn points, like purchases, accounts, reviews, and bonuses. You can turn any action on or off at any time.
Ways to redeem
Create rewards customers can work toward, like fixed amount discounts, percentage discounts, and free shipping.
Fine tune earn rates without code
Adjust your points per dollar, pause an action, or change a reward in seconds. No code required.
Points currency, so it matches your brand
Petal Points is just an example. You can name your points to match your brand.
Points expiry, so rewards stay engaging and predictable
Set a global expiration period so points stay engaging and do not accumulate forever. Points expire after a set time from when they are earned.
A new Dashboard for loyalty and referrals
Once points and referrals are live, you want to know what they are driving.
RewardsWP includes a new Dashboard so you can see what is happening at a glance.
Track the metrics that matter most, from rewards-applied revenue and member growth to points activity and completed referrals.
Trends and insights you can act on
Spot what is trending up, what needs attention, and where to focus next. Switch between points and referrals to see performance over time, plus an easy to read total for the period.
Better member management
Once your program is live, there will be moments where you need to step in. A customer needs a points adjustment. A referral link needs to be refreshed. You want to exclude someone from the program.
RewardsWP now includes new member management tools so you can handle those moments quickly, without digging through multiple screens.
Quick actions when you need them
From the Members screen you can quickly adjust points, change a referral link, or delete a member.
A complete member profile
Open any member to see their points balance, referral performance, and activity history in one place. This makes it easy to understand what has happened over time and respond to support requests quickly.
From this screen you can also:
- Adjust points (with an optional internal note)
- Copy or update the referral link
- Edit member details
- Exclude the member from the program
- Delete the member if needed
Import existing points balances
Switching from another loyalty program does not have to mean starting over.
RewardsWP includes a Points Import tool that lets you bring in existing member point balances from a CSV. Upload your file, map columns, and import so customers keep the points they have already earned.
Reports and exports
Once your program is live, you need two things. A clear view of performance, and an easy way to share the data.
This update adds a Reports screen with trends for key metrics, plus exports you can generate on demand.
Export data on demand
Use exports to share results with your team or pull raw data for analysis. Generate exports for Members, Points activity, Referrals, or Rewards.
Exports are saved for up to 7 days, so you can download them again without rerunning the job. You can also choose to have a download link emailed to you when it is ready.
Ready to turn first time buyers into repeat customers
