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 (

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: VIP tiers, time-boxed campaigns, bonus events, points expiration, and a referral program.
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.
