Points synchronization

This documentation is for the WooRewards plugin

This PREMIUM add-on lets you synchronise points movement between different websites.

Installation and activation

First, you have to purchase the add-on. Since it’s a premium add-on, you can’t install it directly. Therefore, go to Woorewards Add-ons and purchase the add-on. Then, download the zip file (link in the order confirmation) and install it like a new plugin.

After the installation, go to MyRewards → System → License management and enter your license key (also received in the order confirmation). That’s it, you’re good to go.

You can now go to MyRewards → System → Points Sync. tab to enter the right settings.

Requirements

This solution is a synchronisation plugin that must be installed alongside WooRewards on all websites.

On all WooRewards websites, you should set up a similar points and rewards system.
Rewards have to be the same on all websites so that customers don’t see the difference.
Methods to earn points however can be different from one website to another if need be.

Mails have to be configured on only one website so that customers don’t receive multiple emails when they unlock a reward or a level.
