Badges

This documentation is for the WooRewards plugin

In WooRewards, you can award badges to your customers for their performance on your points and rewards systems. The badges can be simple representations of their performance. In addition, you can use them to give access to other rewards.

Badges Rarity

Badges rarity can be a bit tricky to understand but it’s a great tool to incentivise customers to hunt for badges.

How rarity works

Firstly, the system calculates what percentage of your users actually owns the badge using this simple rule :

Percentage = Number of users owning the badge x 100 / Number of registered users on the website

This rule gives a number between 0 and 100.

Secondly, the system compares the calculated percentage to the different rarity levels. And it retains the level that matches these rules :

  • The rarity level number must be higher than the percentage
  • The rarity level number must be the closest to the percentage of the rarity levels matching the precedent rule.

For example, let’s take a badge owned by 35% of users. We have the following rarity levels :

  • 20 : Rare
  • 50 : Uncommon
  • 100 : Common

If we apply the rules explained above, we get this result :

  • The rarity level number must be higher than the percentage : Only the common and uncommon levels match that rule
  • The rarity level number must be the closest to the percentage : The uncommon level is the closest to the percentage

In our example, the badge’s rarity is : Uncommon

Edit rarity levels

To edit the different rarity levels, go to Badges → Settings and go to the Rarity Levels group :

As you can see, there are some default rarity levels already set. If you want to edit one, simply click on the quick edit button on the line.

When you add or remove rarity levels, reload the page to see them sorted by percentage.
