What it fixes.

Most WooCommerce loyalty plugins are a glorified discount stamp — boring, generic, and forgettable five minutes after a customer earns the reward. Rewards Engine is a gamification layer instead of a coupon machine: punch cards, milestone goals, a tier ladder (Bronze / Silver / Gold or your own ranks) and a rewards dashboard inside My Account, with every reward issued as a standard WooCommerce coupon. The free plugin runs all of that, with up to 2 milestones and two dashboard themes (Clean and Dark Gamified). A Pro add-on is built but not on sale: it adds five more dashboard themes, unlimited milestones, category milestones and time-boxed campaigns.

The value · before and after

What changes for you.

  • Before

    Buy-9-get-the-10th-free on a paper card the customer left in the car.

    After

    A punch card in their account dashboard, plus a progress widget on every page while they are logged in.

  • Before

    A stack of generic 10%-off coupons that trains regulars to wait for the discount.

    After

    Milestones and a status ladder they actually want to climb.

Why it is worth it

Versus doing nothing.

  • Every reward is a standard WooCommerce coupon, so there is no fragile custom checkout to break.

Straight answers

What it does not do.

  • Not on WordPress.org yet — nothing here can be downloaded or bought until the free build ships.

What is in the box

Free is the whole fix. Pro adds the heavy lifting.

Free · no purchase, no account

  • Punch card engineConfigurable purchase-count goals (e.g. 10 orders = free product / discount / coupon).
  • Milestone rewardsTrigger rewards on lifetime spend, total orders, or specific product purchases. Up to 2 milestones in the free plugin.
  • Tier ladderBronze / Silver / Gold or your own ranks, each with its own threshold and perk (tier discount or free shipping), with its own Tiers admin screen.
  • Customer dashboardLogged-in customers see their progress, tier, and next reward — embedded in My Account.
  • Reward logAn admin table of the latest 200 rewards issued, so you can confirm the engine is paying out.
  • Coupon-based fulfillmentEvery reward is a standard WooCommerce coupon; the customer claims it from their dashboard and it goes into the cart — no fragile custom checkout flow.
  • Two dashboard themesClean (neutral, fits any storefront) and Dark Gamified.

Pro adds · not on sale yet

  • Five more dashboard themesNeon, Midnight, Arcade, Candy and Aurora stylesheets for the customer dashboard.
  • Unlimited milestonesThe free plugin stops at 2 milestones; Pro removes the cap.
  • Category milestonesGoals scoped to a product category, each with its own tab in the customer dashboard.
  • Time-boxed campaignsPromotions tied to specific products, with a start and end date and their own progress tracking.

If any of these sound like you.

  1. 01

    Coffee shops, bakeries, and quick-serve cafés

    The classic buy-9-get-the-10th-free works, but only if the customer can actually see their progress. A punch card in their account dashboard, plus a floating progress widget on every page while they are logged in — your regulars can see how close the free one is.

  2. 02

    Dispensaries and smoke shops with regulars

    Your regulars are most of your revenue. A tier ladder (Bronze / Silver / Gold) with its own perks — a tier discount or free shipping — turns them into a status game they actually want to climb — not a stack of generic 10%-off coupons that train them to wait for the discount.

  3. 03

    Subscription, consumable, and restock stores

    Your business model is order #3, #6, #12. Milestone rewards fire on total orders or lifetime spend, so the perk lands on the customers who actually come back.

  4. 04

    Agencies running loyalty across multiple client shops

    Each client wants their own loyalty program in their own look. The free plugin runs on every shop you manage, with two dashboard themes to choose from; multi-site Pro licences are not on sale yet.

Questions people actually ask.

Does this require WooCommerce?

Yes. Rewards Engine is built specifically for WooCommerce stores. It hooks into orders, customers, and coupons — all WC primitives — so a vanilla WordPress site has nothing to reward.

Can I install it today?

Not yet. The free plugin is finished and waiting to be submitted to WordPress.org; nothing on this page can be downloaded or bought until it is listed there. Use the contact page to be told when it ships.

How is this different from "buy 9 get 1 free" punch card plugins?

Most loyalty plugins stop at a discount stamp. The free plugin already runs punch cards, milestone rewards and a full tier ladder (Bronze / Silver / Gold or your own ranks, each with a tier discount or free shipping perk), shown to the customer in a rewards dashboard inside My Account and a floating progress widget.

What would Pro add?

A Pro add-on is built but not on sale, so there is no price and no licence to buy yet. It adds five more dashboard themes (Neon, Midnight, Arcade, Candy and Aurora), removes the free plugin's 2-milestone cap, and unlocks category milestones and time-boxed campaigns. The free plugin ships with the Clean and Dark Gamified themes.

Do rewards issue as coupons or custom checkout magic?

Coupons. Each reward is a standard WooCommerce coupon. The customer claims it from their rewards dashboard and it is added to their cart. We don't reinvent your checkout — we just hand WC a coupon at the right moment.

Does the free version work standalone, or do I need pro to use anything?

Free is a complete product. Punch cards, up to 2 milestones, the tier ladder, the customer dashboard, the progress widget and the admin reward log all work without Pro.

Will it slow down my checkout?

No. Reward calculations run when an order moves to processing or completed (after checkout), not during it. The customer dashboard caches its data per user for 15 minutes. The free plugin makes no remote API calls.

Where do I get support?

Email support@bigbad.agency. The plugin is not on WordPress.org yet, so all support runs by email.
