Reward Types

RewardsWP offers a range of reward options to incentivize both members and their referred friends. These rewards can be tailored to suit your business goals, and you have full flexibility to edit or adjust them anytime.

This guide covers the available reward types, how to set them up, and specific instructions for configuring free shipping rewards in WooCommerce.

Overview of Reward Types

Rewards are the driving force behind your referral program, encouraging participation and boosting engagement. RewardsWP allows you to offer:

• Fixed Amount Discounts: A specific dollar amount deducted from a future purchase.
• Percentage Discounts: A percentage reduction applied to the total purchase amount.
• Free Shipping: A reward that removes shipping costs for eligible orders (available only for WooCommerce stores).
• Free Product: Offer a specific item as a reward. Configure the reward type, value, and any minimum order amount required for eligibility.

Each reward type can be configured for members (as a thank-you for referring) or friends (as an incentive for making their first purchase).

Fixed Amount Discounts

Fixed-amount discounts provide a clear and straightforward reward. For example, you might offer a $10 discount to members for each successful referral or to friends for their first purchase.

When to Use:
Fixed amount discounts are ideal when you want to offer a predictable reward that’s easy to communicate.

Example Configuration:

• Reward Value: $10
• Minimum Order Amount: $0 (applies to any purchase).

Percentage Discounts

Percentage discounts scale with the purchase amount, making them more flexible for larger orders. For instance, you might offer 15% off as a reward for referrals.

When to Use:
Percentage discounts work well for stores with varying order values, as the reward increases with the purchase total.

Example Configuration:

• Reward Value: 15%
• Minimum Order Amount: $0 (applies to any purchase).

Free Shipping (WooCommerce Only)

Free shipping is a reward that eliminates shipping costs, making it highly attractive to both members and friends. This option requires configuration in WooCommerce to work correctly.

When to Use:
Free shipping is ideal for removing friction during checkout, encouraging purchases, and boosting referral engagement.

Setting Up Free Shipping in WooCommerce

Free shipping is a great reward to encourage referrals by eliminating shipping costs for eligible orders. To set it up in WooCommerce and enable it as a reward in RewardsWP, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Click on Add Shipping Zone to create a new zone.
   • Name the zone (e.g., “Free Shipping Zone”).
   • Select the regions or countries where free shipping will apply.
3. Within the newly created zone, click Add Shipping Method.
   • In the pop-up, select Free Shipping and click Continue.
4. Give the free shipping method a name, such as “Free Shipping.” and select the requirement in Free shipping requires.
   • This name will appear to customers during checkout when free shipping is applied.
5. In RewardsWP, create a reward and choose Free Shipping as the reward type.
   • Set the Minimum Order Amount (e.g., $50) to ensure free shipping only applies to orders that meet the threshold.

With these steps complete, free shipping rewards will be fully functional and ready to use in your referral program.

Configuring Reward Options

When adding or editing rewards, you have the following options to customize them:

• Reward Value: Define the value of the reward (e.g., $10, 15%, or Free Shipping).
• Minimum Order Amount: Set the minimum purchase amount required for the reward to apply. For example:
  • Fixed/Percentage Discount: $0 (applies to all purchases) or a higher amount (e.g., $50).
  • Free Shipping: Specify a threshold (e.g., $50) to ensure free shipping only applies to larger orders.

Rewards can be edited at any time to adjust their value or eligibility criteria, giving you flexibility as your program evolves.
