GamiPress Easy Digital Downloads Points Gateway

Description

Easy Digital Downloads Points gateway registers each type of GamiPress points as its own payment method at the Easy Digital Downloads checkout, converting points into store currency based on configurable exchange rates. Refunded orders automatically restore the balance to the buyer, and download creators earn points proportional to each sale, closing the loop between gamified engagement and conversion in the digital products store.
