This comprehensive points management system lets users submit online payments using their preferred payment platform such as: WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, and other EDD payment platforms.

As always, our code is open source, so developers can use this virtual currency plugin to easily add points based features to their existing plugin or custom applications.

Using the MicroPayments Platform Plugin for WordPress

After setting up the WordPress payment plugin and external payment gateways, every registered user is automatically given their digital wallet. Multiple wallets are also supported. They can then instantly load their wallet by purchasing virtual currency with real money or earn points by completing defined actions.

Once there is a balance in their digital wallet, users can spend money from their wallet for in-site transactions as if it was a prepaid credit card.

The admin sets the point conversion rate between virtual currency or points to real currencies.

The wallet and virtual currency solution can be used with the WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads cart system to purchase real or virtual products.
