In this tutorial you will let members spend their points in WB Gamification, with a store, a second kind of points and conversions. You need the free WB Gamification plugin, installed and active. It takes about five minutes. There are four steps. Add a reward. Redeem a reward. Add a second point type. Then convert between point types. Points that cannot be used feel empty after a while. Members want something for them. A store turns points into rewards you choose, from a coffee to a profile badge. Points start to matter.
Step one. Add a reward. Open Redemption Store. Give the reward a Name, a Description and a Point Cost. Stock sets how many can be redeemed. Tick Unlimited for no limit. Reward Type sets what the member gets. Then click Add Reward. Recent Redemptions lists who redeemed what. Mark fulfilled closes one, and Refund gives the points back.
Step two. Redeem a reward. Hana sees every reward with its cost. When she clicks Redeem, the cost comes off her points. A reward with no stock left shows Out of stock, so nobody is let down. My rewards keeps what she has redeemed.
Step three. Add a second point type. Open Point Types. Existing Types lists what you have, such as Points and Gems. Add New Point Type takes a Slug and a Label. Make default picks the main one. Click Create Point Type to add it.
Step four. Convert between point types. Open Conversions. Active Rules shows each rate. Add Conversion Rule takes a From and a To type. Minimum, Cooldown and Daily cap keep conversions fair. Then click Add Rule.
That is all four. A reward added, redeemed as a member, a second point type added, and conversions set. Your members can now spend what they earn. Next in this series: Create friendly competition.
