Loyalty points that redeem at checkout
Most loyalty plugins redeem points as coupon codes and scatter balances across dozens of usermeta rows. Australcode applies points as a direct checkout discount — no coupon codes — and records every movement in a custom ledger table built to scale.

Why it is built this way
Direct, auditable, visible
Wallet-direct redemption
Redeem direct, not by coupon
Points become a discount on the order itself. No coupon code is generated, so nothing clashes with your marketing coupons and nothing clutters your store. A balance that spends like money — which is how repeat customers think about it.
- Discount applied at checkout — no one-time coupon codes
- Configurable minimum and maximum redemption per order
- Never collides with your real marketing coupons
A real ledger
A custom ledger table, not usermeta
Every point movement is a row in a dedicated table — earned, redeemed, expired, adjusted. A complete, queryable audit trail that stays fast as you grow, instead of a balance smeared across a dozen usermeta keys per customer.
- One row per movement — earned, redeemed, expired, adjusted
- WooCommerce HPOS compatible from day one
- Stays fast as your customer base grows
Earn where they look
Points your shoppers actually see
“You’ll earn X points” on the product page, a balance hint in the cart, a Rewards tab in the account, a floating balance widget, and a points line on every order email. Visible points are the points that change behaviour.
- Earn hints on the product page and cart
- Rewards tab in My Account + floating balance widget
- Shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks (
acrwd/balance,acrwd/history)

The honest comparison
Wallet-direct, on a real ledger
Most WooCommerce loyalty plugins lean on one of two shortcuts: redeem through coupon codes, or store balances in usermeta. Australcode avoids both — on purpose.
| Capability | Typical loyalty plugin | Australcode Points |
|---|---|---|
| How points are redeemed | A generated coupon code | A direct checkout discount |
| Where balances are stored | Scattered usermeta rows | A dedicated ledger table |
| Audit trail of every movement | — | ledger |
| Per-product & category earn overrides (free tier) | Varies | |
| Earn hints on the product page & cart | Varies | |
| Collides with your marketing coupons | Often | Never |
| VIP tier multipliers & campaigns | Varies | Pro |
| Pricing model | Varies | Annual or lifetime |
Wallet-direct, on a real ledger. “Varies” because behaviour differs by vendor, version and tier — verify against each plugin’s current docs.

FAQ
Questions, answered properly
How is this different from coupon-based loyalty plugins?
Redemption is wallet-direct. When a customer spends points, the discount is applied to the order directly — no coupon code is generated behind the scenes. That means no coupon clutter, no collisions with your real marketing coupons, and a balance that behaves like money. Points also live in a dedicated ledger table, not in a dozen
usermeta rows per customer.Will points slow my store down? How are they stored?
Points live in a dedicated ledger table — one row per movement (earned, redeemed, expired, adjusted). That is a queryable, auditable history that stays fast as you grow. Plugins that scatter balances across a dozen-plus
usermeta rows per customer make every balance read and report progressively heavier.Can different products or categories earn points at different rates?
Yes, in the free version. There is a global earn rate, and you can override it per product or per category — and exclude lines entirely — which is useful when margins differ across your catalogue, or when you want to push a specific line.
What exactly is in Pro versus Free?
Free is the complete earn → redeem loop: earning with overrides, wallet-direct redemption, on-site display, the account tab, the floating widget, the order-email line, shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks, custom labels and dark mode, and the developer hook. Pro adds the growth layer: advanced redemption (fixed-amount, percentage or free-shipping rewards), an earning-rules engine with conditions and a dry-run, VIP tiers with badges and a My Account progress bar, time-boxed campaigns, an expanded set of bonus events, points expiration, a two-sided referral program, bulk customer management with CSV import, and dedicated transactional emails.
How do VIP tier multipliers work?
You define loyalty levels, each with an earn multiplier. As customers qualify for a level, their awards scale automatically — a Gold customer earning at ×1.5 gets 1.5× the points on the same order. VIP tiers are a Pro feature.
Is there a referral program?
Yes — a Pro feature. Reward customers in points for referring new buyers, tracked two-sided from the referral through to the qualifying purchase.
Can points expire?
Yes — a Pro feature. Configure an expiry window so dormant balances do not accumulate into an open-ended liability. Expirations are written to the same ledger, so the history stays complete.
Is it WooCommerce HPOS compatible?
Yes. The plugin is built for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage, and stores points in its own custom tables.
Will it work with my theme or page builder?
Yes. Points display through shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks (
acrwd/balance, acrwd/history), WooCommerce hooks and the Rewards tab in the customer account, so it does not depend on a specific theme. The floating balance widget renders independently, assets load only where they are used, and it ships with complete es-CL / es-ES translations.How do refunds and licensing work?
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, processed by Freemius — our Merchant of Record. Pro is one site, billed annually, or a one-time $149 lifetime licence; if a licence lapses the plugin keeps working, you just stop receiving updates.
