Enable the feature

Before being able to use this feature, you have to enable it. Therefore, you need to go to the following page :

In the Advanced Features group, you will see 2 new options :

---

Setup the points

On the same page, edit the points and rewards system for which you want to add points delay or recursion. Edit the desired action.

Points delay

Check the box to enable a delay after which points will be given. Afterwards, set the delay in days/weeks/months/years after which the points will be given.

Repeated points

Use this field to give points multiple times over time for a unique action. This is very useful if you sell annual subscriptions for example. This will let you give points by small amounts every month.

First, set how many times will be given. Then, set the period between 2 occurences of points distribution.

Track the delayed and recurring points

The Add-On also provides a new interface to track all ongoing, ended or cancelled points distribution. You will find this interface by going to WooRewards → Customers → Scheduled Points

The list presents different columns with various information :

• Customer : Identifies the customer who’s receiving points
• Next Date : Date of the next points attribution
• Points Reserve : The points reserve to which points will be given
• Earned points : How many points will be given
• Source : This displays the origin of the points attribution in the following order Points and Rewards System / Method to earn points
• Status : The actual status
• Occurrences : How many times points were already given / How many times points will be given
• Creation : Date at which the task was created.

You also have various filters you can use to view the wanted information. Finally, you can cancel or resume an ongoing task at any time.

API

This addon adds a new route in the WooRewards API .

Use this API route to add/subtract points to a user in a points reserve used by a points and rewards system. It requires the user writing permission.

Available parameters

• user_email : (string) – A user email.
• pool_id : (string) – A points and rewards system identifier as obtained from a previous API route.
• points_to_add_or_subtract : (int) – The amount of points to add to the user in the points reserve. Set a minus sign before the value to remove points.
• reason : (string) – The description of why the points are added/subtracted

In addition to the url parameters, you can add recurring and delayed points by sending a JSON body with the following parameters :

• delay : (interval) – The delay after points can be given. Default is 0.
• count : (int) – The number of points distribution occurrences. Default is 1.
• interval : (interval) – The delay between two points distribution. Default is 0.

Response

The JSON response is a status object. That object contains at least the following properties:

• id : The points and rewards system identifier as set in the parameters.
• points : The identifier of the points reserve (since several points and rewards systems can share the same points pool).
• value : The new user points amount in this points reserve.
• rewards : The unlocked reward count. Will be 0 if no reward was unlocked after point addition.
